MERCEDES S-CLASS 2021 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is presented as a technological marvel and a benchmark in luxury limousines, with the reviewer highly recommending it. The exterior design, initially controversial, is praised in person for its intricate details. Inside, the cabin is lauded for its luxurious materials, ambient lighting, and innovative integration of screens, though the placement of the central screen is noted. The rear seats offer a "first-class" experience with extensive recline and comfort features. Positives include the advanced infotainment system with a responsive OLED screen, impressive augmented reality navigation, and a suite of driver assistance technologies like rear-wheel steering and a superior surround-view camera. The ride comfort is exceptional, thanks to predictive air suspension. However, minor criticisms include the cheap feel of the gear selector stalk and key fob, smudging piano black trim, and the large rear doors requiring a significant reach to close fully. The reviewer highlights the S580e's impressive electric-only range of 64 miles. Overall, the S-Class is deemed "S-Class leading" for long-distance comfort and safety technology.
