This is the tenth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222 series, which was first launched in Hamburg, Germany in 2013. Below are the detailed introductions of related content: Introduction: The tenth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class still comes in two versions: standard wheelbase and long wheelbase. The standard wheelbase model has a body size of 5116mm in length, 1899mm in width, 1496mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3035mm. The long wheelbase version measures 5246mm in length with a 3165mm wheelbase. From the side view, the new S-Class maintains a very stable appearance, with simple lines on the body side outlining a sense of nobility. Interior Design: Mercedes-Benz once again incorporates a large amount of leather and wood grain materials into the interior design of the new S-Class. The two-spoke steering wheel has a classic shape and exquisite materials, with a circle of delicate hand-stitched seams in the center that is irresistible. The new full LCD instrument panel is clear, easy to read, and rich in content. Although the interior layout is similar to the previous generation S-Class, the application of retro-style circular air vents makes the overall design of the tenth-generation S-Class interior more noble and elegant. Power Configuration: The tenth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class initially offers four power configurations. The Mercedes-Benz S400HYBRID is equipped with a hybrid system featuring a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine, which delivers a maximum power of 306 horsepower (225kW), while the electric motor can produce 27 horsepower (20kW), with a maximum torque of 370 Nm. The S350BlueTec, powered by a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine, has a maximum power of 258 horsepower (190kW) and a maximum torque of 620 Nm.
I remember the Mercedes-Benz W222 was the seventh-generation S-Class sedan, first launched in 2013 as a replacement for the previous W221 model. This generation remained in production until 2020 when it was succeeded by the W223. It introduced numerous innovations, such as Magic Body Control that scans the road surface to reduce bumps, large dual-screen displays, and autonomous driving assistance technologies, making driving both safer and more enjoyable. Its design language was exceptionally elegant, establishing it as a flagship model for Mercedes-Benz, with its influence extending across the entire luxury car segment—even subsequent E-Class and C-Class models borrowed from its style. As a car enthusiast myself, I particularly admire its comfort and technological sophistication. Although maintenance costs are on the higher side, it's definitely worth owning.
