How much does the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost?

Prices have softened 13.54% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,216 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class earns an 8.5/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Technology, and Safety.

It stands out as a luxury full-size sedan that blends strong performance with impressive technology and premium interior materials. For 2023, Mercedes also introduced a new powertrain, which gives you a more modern setup in this latest-generation S-Class.

The main trade-offs are that it is very expensive and does not qualify for a federal tax rebate. It also asks you to accept that the plug-in hybrid advantage is more about electric-driving convenience and range than a dramatic efficiency jump.

31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is presented as a polished, technically advanced luxury sedan with a modern powertrain and a strong emphasis on refinement. Its plug-in hybrid setup pairs a turbocharged inline-six with a battery and electric motor, and the transmission and hybrid transitions are described as smooth in normal driving.

The performance notes point to a powertrain that feels cohesive and easy to live with, with seamless shifts and a calm transition between electric and gas power. The cost-effectiveness notes also mention a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and a six-year/60,000-mile limited warranty on the hybrid battery.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that this is a complex, high-end hybrid sedan, so upkeep can be expensive if prior maintenance was neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean title does not guarantee perfect condition. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the hybrid system, charging behavior, suspension feel, and any signs of expensive cosmetic or electronic wear. Because this is a luxury flagship, condition matters as much as mileage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard S-Class is described as calm and sophisticated, while the tester adds optional high-gloss black trim, 20-inch AMG wheels, and AMG-style front and rear bumpers and side skirts. The interior can be specified with multiple leather colors and trim materials, so you should compare how each car is equipped rather than assuming they are alike.
• Powertrain: The S 580e pairs a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with a 28.6-kWh battery and an electric motor. It offers 56 miles of all-electric range, 51 MPGe combined, 510 horsepower, and 553 lb-ft of torque.
• Safety package: The S-Class includes lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, hands-on highway driver-assist, Crosswind Assist, and Speed Limit Assist. The text does not identify trim-level safety gaps.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and augmented-reality navigation. Wireless charging is included, and the system supports overlaid map views and built-in games.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA gives the S 580e PHEV 51 MPGe combined, and the gas-only fallback figure is 23 mpg combined. The text also notes that the standard S 580 returns 19 mpg combined.

Which 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class trim should I buy?

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is offered in 4 trim levels: S 500, S 580, Maybach S 580, and Maybach S 680.

Here's the short version:

• S 500: This is the entry point if you want the S-Class experience with the least expensive path into the lineup. It suits you if you care most about the core luxury, technology, and ride quality rather than the most powerful setup.
• S 580: This is the better-value choice if you want more performance and a richer flagship feel without stepping into Maybach territory. It is the trim to focus on if you want the strongest balance of capability and luxury.
• Maybach S 580: Choose this if you want the more exclusive, ultra-luxury version of the S-Class and are willing to pay for the added prestige.
• Maybach S 680: This is the top-end choice for buyers who want the most lavish S-Class experience and are shopping at the highest level of the lineup.

The safety content does not call out trim-specific safety-package gaps.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,216 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.54% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $77,879, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?

The current average of $77,879 sits slightly below last year's $90,078.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means you should expect depreciation pressure to remain a real factor, especially given the model’s high original price and luxury-car positioning.

If you buy well and keep the car in excellent condition, you may soften the blow somewhat. But the current trend still points to a vehicle that is likely to lose value faster than a more mainstream sedan.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class safe?

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has not yet been rated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety equipment list is extensive: lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, hands-on highway driver-assist, Crosswind Assist, and Speed Limit Assist. The hands-on highway system can maintain distance, keep the car centered, and even handle lane changes when you signal.

That said, the lack of official crash-test ratings means you should lean more heavily on the car’s active-safety hardware and the condition of the specific vehicle you are considering.

Should I buy a 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.54% compared with last year.
• Mercedes introduced a new powertrain for 2023, giving the car added appeal for buyers who want a more modern setup.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $63,800, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $77,879 average.
• It offers a 48-volt mild hybrid setup with a choice of gas engines and all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the newer powertrain and are shopping for the latest version of this generation, the 2023 is the better target. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the smarter value play and still delivers the S-Class formula.
