The new S350L measures 5230MM in length, approximately 2120MM in width at the outer edges of the rearview mirrors, and 1606MM between the centers of the left and right wheels. It weighs 2022KG, with a maximum fully loaded weight of 2535KG. Examples of other vehicle body weights: Common sedan weights above 2.0L: Crown 3.0 (1650kg), Reiz 2.5 (1560kg), Camry 2.4 (1530kg), Guangben 2.4 (1447kg), Mazda6 2.3 (1437kg), Teana 2.3 (1545kg).

The weight of a sedan is significantly influenced by factors such as engine displacement, vehicle length, and the materials used. Generally, vehicles with smaller displacements use lighter engines.
I've driven the Mercedes-Benz S350 a few times, and the car's body weight is generally around 1,950 kilograms, which is almost two tons. The significant weight is due to its high-strength steel body and luxury features, such as spacious seats and soundproofing materials. This results in a slightly heavy steering wheel feel during handling, but the car is exceptionally stable at high speeds and less prone to rollovers. I've also noticed that the weight affects fuel consumption, with around 12 liters per 100 kilometers in urban areas, making it more expensive to run than lighter cars. When buying a used car, it's advisable to check the vehicle registration certificate because weight differences of up to 50 kilograms between different model years, such as the 2010 and 2018 versions of the S350, are common. Overall, this weight class requires extra caution when parking in the city to avoid scratches, but the safety rating is genuinely high.
