Why it stands out
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a flagship luxury sedan that blends advanced technology with fine craftsmanship. Mercedes has long used the S-Class as its showcase for innovation, and this generation continued that role with features such as the second generation of MBUX infotainment, available multiple screens, and a 3D driver display system that uses eye tracking to create the illusion of depth. It also offered rear-axle steering to improve turning radius, along with advanced safety and driver-assist systems. For buyers who want a large luxury car that feels especially modern and richly equipped, that combination is a major part of the appeal.
This generation also offered serious performance and a wide range of powertrains. The lineup included the S 500 4Matic with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and 48-volt mild-hybrid system making 429 horsepower, and the S 580 4Matic with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 and mild hybrid drive making 496 horsepower. Mercedes also offered the S 580e plug-in hybrid in late 2022, with 46 miles of battery-only range and DC fast-charging capability, and later brought back the AMG S 63 as a high-performance plug-in hybrid with 791 horsepower and 1,055 pound-feet of torque. That breadth helps explain why the S-Class remains so desirable: it can be a quiet luxury cruiser, a tech showcase, or a genuinely fast sedan.
The tradeoff is cost. The S-Class is expensive to buy new, and it is also costly to fuel, maintain, and insure over time. Even so, it has a strong reputation for luxury and engineering, and many owners value the way it combines comfort, performance, and cutting-edge features in one package.

How much does the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $28,240 |
| Year-Round Low | $28,183 |
| Year-Round High | $31,668 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $31,668 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −10.83% |
Prices have softened 10.83% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 954 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.
Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a compelling choice if you want a flagship luxury sedan that emphasizes comfort, technology, and performance, though it comes with the usual premium-car tradeoffs. Its user rating is 3.9/5, which suggests many shoppers find it rewarding but not without caveats.
Drivers commonly praise its luxurious feel, advanced amenities, and strong handling. Review feedback also points to good value for money and performance that compares favorably with competitors. In practical terms, that lines up well with the S-Class’s role as a large luxury sedan for buyers who want a richly equipped daily driver or long-distance cruiser.
With 34.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market offers a meaningful number of opportunities if you shop carefully.
Is the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a flagship luxury sedan that blends advanced technology with fine craftsmanship. Review feedback suggests owners appreciate its luxurious feel and strong performance, while also noting that maintenance costs and electronic components can become challenging over time.
That means you should think of it as a sophisticated used luxury car that can be satisfying to own, but one where upkeep history matters a lot. For long-term ownership, the biggest risk is not just mileage — it is whether the car has been maintained consistently and repaired properly when electronics or other premium systems needed attention.
What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
At 59.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was cosmetic or structural. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, with extra attention to electronics, comfort features, and any signs of deferred maintenance. Because this is a high-end luxury sedan, condition and service records matter more than simply finding the lowest price.
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 have room to shop carefully rather than rush.
- Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 954 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.83% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 59.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $28,183, 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 $28,240 sits slightly below last year's $31,668.
That price movement suggests the model has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that well-kept examples with strong history and desirable equipment should hold up better than average, while higher-mileage or poorly documented cars may be harder to price aggressively.
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:
- 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 59.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.83% compared with last year.
The bottom line: The 2016 is a strong choice if you want a luxury flagship with a softer used-car price and you are willing to be selective about condition and history. If you are especially price-sensitive, it is worth comparing nearby model years to see whether a cleaner or better-equipped example offers a better overall value for your budget.
