Mercedes-Benz S-Class (Seventh Generation)

Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223) Black Mercedes-Benz S580 Maybach at Arkhangelskoye Estate (Moscow Region, Russia) The Mercedes-Benz W223 is the seventh generation of the S‑Class full-size luxury sedan, produced by Mercedes-Benz since 2020. At the launch, Mercedes-Benz announced that no coupé or convertible version of S-Class would be produced. It replaces the W222 S‑Class which had been produced since 2013. Overview The W223 uses the second-generation Mercedes Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system. It features a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch OLED centre infotainment system with haptic feedback. The car can automatically close the windows and sunroof and recirculate air as it approaches a tunnel or detects poor air quality. It features 22 cameras and radar sensors for the adaptive cruise control, automatic steering, lane departure warning, emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition. Radar sensors can predict oncoming side collisions and raise the suspension by 8 cm (3.1 in) to direct the crash force towards the doorsills. Optional equipment includes rear-axle steering, rear-seat airbags, and a head-up-display with augmented reality for navigation directions. The models with six-cylinder inline petrol engines have a 48-volt electrical system with an integrated motor-generator to provide additional power when needed. This system also provides the power for the air conditioning system and for recharging the battery. The integrated motor-generator is also used as a starter motor in lieu of a separate and dedicated starter motor. Models The engine range from W222 is carried over to W223 with inline six, V8, and V12. For the first time, the V12 engine is fitted with 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system and is exclusive to S 680 Guard 4MATIC. All models except S 680 Guard 4MATIC are offered in both standard and long wheelbases. Mercedes-Maybach The Z223 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class was revealed on 19 November 2020 with model designations S 580 4MATIC and S 680 4MATIC. The Mercedes-Maybach is 18 centimetres longer than the predecessor. Several design cues, separating the Mercedes-Maybach from Mercedes-Benz, are carried over. Another first for Mercedes-Benz is the frontal airbags for the rear passengers. Available engines are a 3-litre six-cylinder inline petrol for S 580 e 4MATIC, 4-litre biturbo V8 for the S 580 4MATIC, and a 6-litre biturbo V12 for the S 680 4MATIC. Both are fitted with standard 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. The Mercedes-Maybach S 580 e debuted in February 2023 as the brand’s first plug-in hybrid model, featuring an inline-six engine and an electric motor that produce a combined 503 HP (375 kW) output. Other Maybach limited edition cars include the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 “Edition 100”, Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Haute Voituren, and the Mercedes-Maybach S-Klasse “Maybach by Virgil Abloh” S 680. Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance In December 2022, the Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance, the high performance version of the S-Class, was introduced. It uses a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which is powered by a 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 in the form of the M177, along with an electric motor and 13.1 kWh battery pack. The car produces a combined 791 HP and 1,430 N⋅m (1,055 lb⋅ft) of torque. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 3.2 seconds.
