Why it stands out
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out because it sits in a lineage that has long been Mercedes-Benz’s showcase for technology, craftsmanship, and safety. In this generation, the car brought a new aluminum hybrid body shell that cut weight and improved rigidity, and Mercedes said it was the first in the world to exclusively feature LEDs over traditional bulbs, with 500 light units throughout the interior and exterior. It also introduced “magic body control,” using road scanning to detect potholes and imperfections in advance and adapt the suspension to them, along with a surround-view camera system that integrated multi-modal radar and ultrasonic sensors for smoother adaptive cruise control and lane centering.
Inside, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class leaned hard into luxury and high-end tech. Its cabin used wood and metal accents that flowed more smoothly than before, and selectable ambient lighting became one of its defining touches. The car also featured two giant 12.3-inch screens under a single panel, while still retaining many physical controls, and night vision remained available. Buyers could also find rear executive seating packages, sport packages, AMG appearance packages, air purifiers, active parking assist, massaging seats, and Burmester surround-sound audio, which helped make even well-equipped versions feel especially rich.
It is also appealing because it offers serious performance and a wide range of powertrains. In 2016, the lineup included the S 550 with a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 making 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, the S 600 with a 5.5-liter V12 making 523 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque, and the AMG S 65 with a 6.0-liter V12 making 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. The generation also offered 4Matic all-wheel drive on the S 550, and the S 550e plug-in hybrid delivered 329 system horsepower and 14 miles of electric range. The tradeoff is that this is still an expensive machine to own, and maintenance can be costly, with electrical issues and suspension concerns among the common worries.

| Change vs. Last Year | −8.95% |
Prices have softened 8.95% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 1,000 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.
If you find a listing below $28,875.22, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?
With a user rating of 3.92/5, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class looks appealing if you want a flagship luxury sedan that emphasizes comfort, advanced amenities, and strong performance. Reviewers commonly praise its luxurious feel, great handling, and superior performance compared with competitors, while also noting its value for money.
That lines up well if you want a car that feels richly appointed and technologically ambitious, especially for long-distance driving or daily use in a premium full-size sedan. The market also shows 30.3% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is presented as a highly advanced luxury sedan with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship, safety, and technology. Owners and reviewers also describe it as dependable in terms of comfort and driving experience, with a trouble-free feel when everything is working as intended.
At the same time, the ownership picture includes maintenance costs and electronic components that can become expensive over time, so long-term risk is higher if the car has been poorly maintained or has unresolved electrical or suspension issues.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
At 59.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a full vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection from a shop that knows luxury sedans and complex electronics. Pay close attention to suspension behavior, warning lights, and the condition of high-cost comfort and tech features, since those are the areas most likely to affect ownership costs.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,000 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.95% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 59.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $28,875.22, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?
The current average of $29,759 sits slightly below last year's $32,686.
That softer pricing can help you buy more car for the money today, but it also means future resale may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and service history. If you keep the car well maintained and avoid examples with accident history or deferred repairs, you should be in a better position when it comes time to sell. For a future seller, the strongest listings will likely be the ones that present as clean, well-documented, and properly cared for.
Should I buy a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 30.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 59.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.95% compared with last year.
The bottom line: The 2016 is a strong choice if you want the flagship S-Class experience at a softer price point than newer examples, especially if you value luxury, performance, and advanced features. If you’re more price-sensitive, you may want to compare it with nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented car rather than chasing the newest badge year.
