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

Prices have softened 12.81% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 1,186 listings available, you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $78,038.52, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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

The expert rating is 8.5/10.

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

The 2023 S-Class is positioned as a luxury full-size sedan that leans hard into premium materials, advanced technology, and strong performance. The plug-in hybrid setup gives you a distinctive option if you want a high-end sedan with meaningful electric driving capability without going fully battery-electric.

Trade-offs: It is very expensive, and it does not qualify for a federal tax rebate.

For shoppers who want a flagship sedan that blends refinement with electrified capability, it fits that brief well. Market availability is decent, with 26.3% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

The 2023 S-Class is described as a few years into its latest generation, and the expert review emphasizes a polished, well-developed luxury experience rather than a first-year redesign. The plug-in hybrid powertrain is presented as smooth and seamless in normal driving, with the gas engine and electric motor transitioning cleanly in hybrid mode.

The performance write-up also points to a small jerk at times when the transmission downshifts into first gear at lights, but that is framed as a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent powertrain. On the cost side, the hybrid battery carries a six-year/60,000-mile limited warranty, which helps support long-term ownership confidence.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is the complexity and cost that can come with a high-end plug-in hybrid luxury sedan.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a car with advanced electronics, hybrid hardware, and optional equipment. Focus on whether the car’s luxury features, charging equipment, and driver-assistance systems are working as intended, and make sure the condition matches the asking price.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The standard S-Class lineup includes S 500, S 580, Maybach S 580, and Maybach S 680, while the tester shown here is the S 580e plug-in hybrid. The base models are already richly equipped, but the review makes clear that the tester’s optional black trim, AMG-style exterior pieces, upgraded wheels, and leather upgrades add a more distinctive look.
• Powertrain: The S 580e pairs a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with a 28.6-kWh battery and an electric motor. It delivers 56 miles of all-electric range, 51 MPGe combined, and 510 horsepower with 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 review does not call out a trim-level safety gap.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.8-inch OLED center display, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, augmented-reality navigation, wireless charging, and a Burmester sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The S 580e is rated at 51 MPGe combined, and the review reports 53.9 mpg during testing. It also notes 56 miles of all-electric range.

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

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is offered in 5 trim levels: S 500, S 580, S 580e, Maybach S 580, and Maybach S 680.

Here's the short version:

• S 500: This is the most straightforward entry point if you want the S-Class experience without stepping into the plug-in hybrid setup. It should suit you if you want the core luxury, technology, and comfort that define the model.
• S 580: Choose this if you want more power than the S 500 and are willing to pay for it. It is the better fit if performance matters more than efficiency.
• S 580e: This is the best-value trim if you want the most distinctive mix of luxury and electrified capability. It stands out for its 56-mile electric range, strong combined efficiency, and quick charging support.
• Maybach S 580: Pick this if your priority is maximum rear-seat luxury and a more opulent presentation than the standard S-Class.
• Maybach S 680: This is the top-end choice if you want the most exclusive, most lavish version of the lineup.

The safety content does not identify a trim-specific safety-package gap.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 26.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,186 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.81% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $78,038.52, 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 $78,262 sits slightly below last year's $89,760.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently today. If you plan to sell later, the current pricing gives you a clearer benchmark for what the market is willing to pay now.

Because the model is expensive and highly equipped, resale will likely depend heavily on condition, mileage, and option content. A well-kept example with desirable equipment should hold up better than one that looks tired or poorly maintained.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class safe?

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has not yet been rated by NHTSA or IIHS.

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 highway system can maintain distance, stay centered in its lane, and even handle lane changes when you signal.

The main caveat is that the car’s official crash-test results are not yet published, so you should lean more heavily on the breadth of its driver-assistance hardware and the condition of the specific vehicle you’re 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:

• 26.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.81% compared with last year.
• The 2023 adds a new plug-in hybrid powertrain and impressive electric range.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $63,231, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $78,262 average.
• It offers a mild-hybrid S-Class experience with strong luxury and traditional gas power.

The bottom line: If you want the newer electrified powertrain and can justify the premium, the 2023 is the more advanced choice. If your priority is saving money while still getting the S-Class luxury experience, the 2022 is the smarter value play.
