Why it stands out
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a flagship luxury sedan that blends advanced technology, strong performance, and a deeply polished cabin. In the W222 generation, Mercedes gave the car a new aluminum hybrid body shell that cut weight and improved rigidity, and it also used selectable ambient lighting, which became a defining feature of other Mercedes-Benz interiors. The car’s appeal is not just about comfort, either: the lineup included powerful engines, and the S-Class was designed to showcase the brand’s latest technology and engineering.
For 2020, the W222 was largely a carry-over year, so the car’s strengths were already well established. It remained a richly equipped luxury sedan with features such as the MBUX digital interface and infotainment system on two giant 12.3-inch screens under a single panel, along with many luxury and convenience options. It also had a very good reliability record for the generation, though ownership could still be expensive and some owners and reviewers note high maintenance costs. The same sources also point to limited trunk space as a drawback, which is worth keeping in mind for buyers who want maximum practicality from a large sedan.

I think this car stands above all others in pure luxury, comfort and features. I feel buying pre owned allowed me to experience the enjoyment of this car at a fraction of its original price tag.

How much does the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $46,296 |
| Year-Round Low | $46,286 |
| Year-Round High | $52,409 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $51,527 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −10.15% |
Prices have softened 10.15% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 586 listings available, which suggests a solid amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?
Yes — the 4.9/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise the luxurious feel, impressive performance, comfort of the ride, and advanced features. In practical terms, that makes this a strong fit if you want a flagship luxury sedan that emphasizes comfort and technology over everyday simplicity. With 30.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?
Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience for many drivers, with the kind of long-term appeal you expect from a well-regarded luxury sedan. At the same time, you should plan for higher upkeep costs, since expensive maintenance can affect the total cost of ownership over time.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
At 71.7% 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 prior damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on bodywork quality, electronics, and signs of uneven wear, since condition matters a lot on a luxury sedan like this. It is also smart to compare maintenance records carefully, because ownership costs can rise quickly if the car has been neglected.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s market.
- Deal availability: 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 586 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.15% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 71.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $46,286, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?
The current average of $46,296 sits slightly below last year's $51,527.
That price movement suggests the model has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. Because the market is still active and the car has strong owner satisfaction, demand should remain reasonably steady among shoppers looking for a luxury flagship. The main risk for resale is that higher ownership costs can narrow the pool of future buyers.
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 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 71.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.15% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $57,558, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $46,296 average.
- It brings a redesigned cabin and updated technology.
The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2020 is the stronger buy because it delivers flagship luxury at a much lower used price. If you are willing to spend more for the redesign and newer tech, the 2021 is the better secondary path.
