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

Prices have softened 11.25% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,235 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing options.

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.

You’re looking at a luxury full-size sedan that leans hard into design, refinement, and advanced tech, with a plug-in hybrid setup that gives it a distinctive role for buyers who want high-end comfort and meaningful electric driving capability. The cabin materials and overall presentation are a major strength, and the powertrain delivers strong performance with a smooth, upscale feel.

The trade-offs are clear: it is very expensive, and the plug-in hybrid setup does not qualify for the federal tax rebate. It also is not much more efficient than the non-hybrid powertrain in broader ownership terms.

With 30.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is positioned as a refined, high-end sedan with a new-for-2023 plug-in hybrid powertrain, and the expert review emphasizes its smooth operation and upscale execution. The powertrain is described as excellent, with seamless transitions between electric and gas power in Hybrid mode and a transmission that generally stays out of the way.

The review also notes that the car can be charged quickly at home and supports DC fast charging, which helps make the plug-in setup more practical if you keep up with charging. Mercedes also includes 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 risk is that this is a complex, expensive luxury vehicle, so deferred maintenance or neglected charging habits can become costly.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a luxury sedan with advanced electronics and a plug-in hybrid system. Focus on charging behavior, tire and brake wear, and whether the cabin and driver-assistance features operate as intended. If you’re comparing listings, pay close attention to option content because this model’s equipment can vary a lot.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard full-size S-Class emphasizes calm sophistication, while the tester described in the review adds high-gloss black trim, 20-inch AMG wheels, and AMG-style front and rear bumpers and side skirts. The cabin also stands out for its leather colors, trim materials, panoramic sunroof, and especially soft head rests.
• Powertrain: The S 580e pairs a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with a battery and electric motor, delivering 56 miles of all-electric range, 51 MPGe combined, and 510 horsepower when the gas engine kicks in. It also supports 11 kW home charging and 60 kW DC fast charging.
• 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 hands-on highway system can keep distance, stay centered, and change lanes when you signal.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 12.8-inch OLED center display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, augmented-reality navigation, wireless charging, USB-C ports, and a standard Burmester sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The S 580e is rated at 51 MPGe combined, and the review also cites 53.9 mpg during testing. When the battery is depleted, it returns 23 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 complexity, and it should suit you if you value the core luxury and tech without chasing the plug-in hybrid setup.
• S 580: This is the stronger choice if you want more power and a more traditional high-output S-Class feel, while still staying within the standard lineup.
• Maybach S 580: Choose this if you want the most upscale, chauffeur-style version of the standard lineup with the highest emphasis on comfort and presence.
• Maybach S 680: This is the top-end choice if you want the most exclusive, most lavish S-Class experience in the lineup.

The safety content highlights a very broad driver-assistance suite, including hands-on highway driving, Crosswind Assist, and Speed Limit Assist.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,235 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.25% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $76,872, 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 $76,872 sits slightly below last year's $86,615.

That price drop suggests the market has moved in buyers’ favor, which can help you get more car for your money today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect depreciation pressure to remain part of the ownership equation. If you buy well now, you may reduce some of that downside by starting from a softer market price.

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 S-Class comes with 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 handle lane changes when you signal.

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:

• 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.25% compared with last year.
• The 2023 adds a new plug-in hybrid powertrain and strong electric range.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $61,837, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $76,872 average.
• It offers a strong luxury experience with two powertrain choices and a refined ride.

The bottom line: If you want the newer plug-in hybrid setup, stronger electric capability, and a more current tech story, the 2023 is the better target. If your priority is lower purchase price and you’re comfortable giving up the 2023’s electrified powertrain, the 2022 is the value play.
