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

Prices have softened 9.67% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,210 listings available, which gives you 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.

The S-Class is aimed at you if you want a flagship luxury sedan with standout technology, premium interior materials, and strong performance. The 2023 update adds a plug-in hybrid option, so you can get a more modern electrified experience without giving up the flexibility of a gas engine.

The trade-offs are clear: it’s very expensive, and the plug-in hybrid setup does not qualify for the federal tax rebate.

With 34.5% 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 presented as a well-engineered luxury sedan with a sophisticated powertrain and a strong emphasis on comfort. The plug-in hybrid setup pairs a turbocharged inline-six with an electric motor and battery, and the transmission is described as smooth and seamless for most driving.

The powertrain is also described as smooth in Hybrid mode, with no jitteriness as it transitions between electric and gas power. That said, there is a slight jerk at times when downshifting into first gear, which is a small flaw in an otherwise excellent setup.

Mercedes also notes that the hybrid battery is covered by a six-year/60,000-mile limited warranty. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is the complexity that comes with a high-end plug-in hybrid system and luxury electronics, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, even when the market looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the hybrid system, charging equipment, 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 full-size S-Class emphasizes calm sophistication, 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 is a major highlight, with eight leather colors, five trim materials, and a panoramic sunroof.
• 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 and can also use DC fast charging at up to 60 kW.
• Safety package: Standard driver-assistance features include lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, hands-on highway driver-assist, Crosswind Assist, and Speed Limit Assist.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen with MBUX, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, augmented-reality navigation, wireless charging, USB-C ports, and a standard Burmester sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA gives the S 580e a combined 51 MPGe, and the gas-only combined figure is 23 mpg when the battery is depleted.

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, 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 gives you the core luxury and flagship feel without moving up to the pricier variants.
• S 580: This is the best-value choice if you want more performance and a richer equipment mix without jumping all the way to the Maybach models.
• Maybach S 580: Choose this if rear-seat luxury and a more exclusive presentation matter most to you.
• Maybach S 680: This is the top-end choice for buyers who want the most lavish version of the S-Class lineup.

The safety content highlights a broad set of driver-assistance features, but it also notes that the 2023 S-Class has not yet been rated by NHTSA or IIHS.

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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,210 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.67% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $76,238, 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 $76,332 sits slightly below last year's $84,507.

That price movement suggests the market has softened, which can help you buy at a more favorable point. If you plan to sell later, you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car has been maintained.

Because this is a high-end luxury sedan, well-kept examples should hold more appeal than neglected ones. A clean history and strong equipment list will matter more when it comes time to resell.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class safe?

It earns a strong suite of active safety and driver-assistance features, but it has not yet been rated by NHTSA or IIHS.

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

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 the car centered in its lane, maintain distance from traffic ahead, and even handle lane changes when you signal.

One caveat is that there are no crash-test ratings yet from the major U.S. safety agencies, so you’re relying on the car’s equipment list and engineering rather than published test results.

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:

• 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.67% compared with last year.
• It adds a new plug-in hybrid powertrain that brings a more modern electrified experience.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $61,464, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $76,332 average.
• It emphasizes traditional flagship comfort with a mild-hybrid setup and strong ride quality.

The bottom line: Choose the 2023 if you want the newer electrified powertrain and are comfortable paying more for it. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better value path.
