Starting at about $110,000, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan is well designed and can get you everywhere with pride and confidence.
To get to know this car, start at your locally owned Mercedes-Benz dealerships. Both are conveniently located in either Coral Gables or Cutler Bay, and have great staff that is eager to respond to your every need. Take advantage of it.
It feels good to be inside the cabin of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan, especially when you engage with the 12.8-inch Organic LED (OLED) touchscreen that can share content or entertain individually. There are 800 settings on this screen that can be customized in the car and on your phone, with up to seven user profiles. That makes the listening experience amazing, if you like everything from music or podcasts. The speakers are so clear you won’t have to rewind anything to listen again.
I would describe it as precise sound heard from the Burmester High-End Surround Sound System that comes in the car. It offers immersive, personalized audio, with a new 4D option that integrates resonators into the seats for music you can feel. A cool feature is that ear-level speakers deliver driving information to the driver rather than the whole cabin, so your passengers won’t be annoyed or distracted by that monotone direction information that navigation and map apps offer.
While inside you will appreciate the finely tailored leathers, exotic wood and metal trim that stands out and a feast for the eyes and other senses. It feels like luxury that is stylish and comfortable. From switches to speakers, stitchwork to sculpting, every element creates a harmony of form and function.
So let’s talk about performance: the engine is a 3.0L inline-6 turbo with EQ Boost and electric auxiliary compressor. The S 500 4MATIC Sedan with a 429 horsepower engine that generates 384 pound-feet of torque that can get you from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds. For a little over $116,000, you can get the S 580 4MATIC Sedan, which has 496 horsepower engine that generates 516 pounds-feet of torque that sends this vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds.
The S 500 also gets 20 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
Standard luxury line styling includes crisp chrome accents and a choice of three 19-inch or 20-inch wheel options. The AMG line and black accented night package offers AMG wheel options up to 21 inches.
