Starting at $118,000, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4Matic Sedan is a class act that is innovative, with beautiful lines and great power.
The 2022 S-Class is thoughtfully equipped, carefully crafted, and groundbreaking from personalization to safety and function.
First, let’s talk about its power: The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4Matic Sedan has an electrically boosted engine that produces nearly 500 horsepower. The best part is you feel it when driving as it takes turns like a champ. It feels a lot like a racecar that can take what is most precious to you – your family – to wherever you are going in comfort and luxury. It delivers 16 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highway.
This is one of my favorite sedans because Mercedes-Benz focuses a lot of its attention under the hood.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4Matic’s advanced performance comes from a high-output yet compact 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine. The exceptional output gives you 496 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of peak torque, which moves the S-Class with confidence and a sense of urgency. What I mean is simple: This sedan gets you to 0-60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds, which is fantastic performance.
Racing-derived technology ranges from its turbocharger layout to its low-friction Nanoslide cylinder walls. And its high-pressure direct injection and rapid multi-spark ignition can self-tune on the fly with millisecond speed and exceptional precision. This level of engineering sophistication is next level and communicates that Mercedes-Benz continues to invest in incorporating racecar-level innovation into its vehicles.
The sedan comes standard with an electric boost system that includes an innovative Integrated Starter-Generator. It teams with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery to supply power for formerly belt-driven components like the water pump and air-conditioning compressor. This is important because it makes the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4Matic lighter physically, so it helps save on energy consumption across the board. What’s more is that electric assist can generate additional, gas-free power and torque for immediate response.
For muscle car fans like me, here is another great detail that puts a smile on my face. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4Matic has shorter steps between gears, with a 9-speed automatic system that changes gears more quickly but nearly imperceptibly. It’s seamless, delivering power while keeping the rider quiet and efficient. The electronic selector and shift paddles also let you control all gear changes with your hands on the steering wheel.
To make the sedan even more eco-friendly, Mercedes-Benz has given you a fuel-saving start/stop system that automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations. As soon as the driver lifts off the brake, the engine instantly restarts, for immediate acceleration response. The eco start/stop system is a value when you are making your way through town and I love it.
I really like the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4Matic. It is a sedan with a huge upside that will feel like you have won the race, like you made the right decision. This car is something to brag about and a head-turner that lots of people will be asking you about. Give it a drive and let me know what you think when you see me behind the wheel.
