Why it stands out
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a full-size luxury car that blends advanced technology, refined engineering, and a deeply opulent cabin. In the W222 generation, Mercedes gave the car a new aluminum hybrid body shell that cut weight and improved rigidity, and the model also featured selectable ambient lighting, a digital instrument cluster, and a thoroughly updated COMAND system with two giant 12.3-inch screens under a single panel. It was also loaded with the kind of comfort and convenience features that define the S-Class name, including rear executive seating packages, active parking assist, massaging seats, and Burmester surround-sound audio.
For 2017, the W222 received a facelift and tech update, which helped keep it feeling current in a segment where presentation matters as much as performance. The lineup for this year included the S 550 with a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 making 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and the AMG S 63 with a hand-built 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 making 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet. That combination of strong engines, rich materials, and a long list of available technology makes the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class especially appealing to buyers who want a flagship sedan that feels both fast and exceptionally well appointed.
At the same time, this is not a car that makes sense as a bargain. The S-Class is expensive to buy and costly to maintain, and many of its best features were optional rather than standard. Even so, its reputation for luxury, safety, and high-end engineering is a major part of its appeal, and the 2017 model captures that formula well.

The car has every option I was looking for even the omission of HUD. I think at its original price point it is a great value. The car has a color that I have yet to figure out but other than that Im totally satisfied with my purchase. I had a Porsche Panamera 4S but Im getting older and more mature plus everyone should own an S Class once in life.

How much does the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $38,118 |
| Year-Round Low | $37,939 |
| Year-Round High | $40,591 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $40,257 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −5.31% |
Prices have softened 5.31% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 690 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?
Yes — the 4.9/5 user rating points to very strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its elegant design, driving experience, performance, safety, and comfort, which fits a full-size luxury sedan aimed at buyers who want a refined, high-end daily driver. The overview also shows that you’re looking at a flagship model built around advanced technology, a richly appointed cabin, and strong performance, so it makes sense if you want luxury and presence in one package. With 30.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s also a decent amount of market opportunity if you shop carefully.
Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?
Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback describes it as a dependable choice, and the praise for its smooth handling and overall refinement supports that impression. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about day-to-day appeal and more about the cost and complexity that can come with a high-end luxury sedan over time.
What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
At 60% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
Start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with accident records or repeated claims. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on body condition, electronics, suspension behavior, and signs of deferred maintenance. Because this is a luxury model with advanced systems, you’ll want to pay close attention to how everything works rather than just how the car looks.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can be choosy if you’re patient.
- Deal availability: 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 690 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.31% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 60.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $37,939, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?
The current average of $38,118 sits slightly below last year's $40,257.
That price movement suggests the market has softened, which can help you buy more favorably now but may also limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that value retention will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car has been maintained. A clean history and strong presentation matter even more in a luxury sedan where buyers expect a premium experience.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 60% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.31% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: You should focus on the 2017 if you want a well-liked, well-equipped luxury sedan and you’re willing to shop carefully for condition and history. If your priority is stretching your budget, a different year may offer a lower entry price, but the 2017 remains the better pick when you want the strongest mix of owner satisfaction and current market value.
