Why it stands out

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a luxury full-size sedan that pairs the brand’s familiar emphasis on design and refinement with a new powertrain for 2023. It is described as being a few years into its latest generation, and Mercedes introduced a plug-in hybrid setup for this model year. That combination gives the car a distinctive role for buyers who want a high-end sedan with the ability to travel far on electrons without fully committing to a battery-electric vehicle.

Its appeal is rooted in the usual S-Class strengths, including impressive technology, premium interior materials, and strong performance. The plug-in hybrid setup also brings impressive electric range, which makes it especially attractive as a convenient stop-gap for shoppers not ready to leave the gas station behind entirely. The tradeoff is that it is very expensive, and it does not qualify for a federal tax rebate, so its advanced efficiency and luxury come with a steep price.
