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

Prices have softened 12.75% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 1,237 listings available, you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $77,960.26, 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 pairs premium materials and strong performance with a new plug-in hybrid powertrain for the year. That makes it especially appealing if you want a high-end sedan with impressive electric range and the ability to cover a lot of daily driving without fully switching to a battery-electric vehicle.

The main trade-offs are that it is very expensive and doesn’t qualify for a federal tax rebate. Even so, the combination of refinement, technology, and electrified capability makes it a compelling fit if you value comfort and advanced features over value pricing.

With 31.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

The 2023 S-Class is presented as a few years into its latest generation, which usually helps with maturity and refinement. Its powertrain is described as smooth in hybrid operation, with seamless transitions between electric and gas power and a nine-speed automatic that mostly stays in the background.

The plug-in hybrid setup also brings practical charging flexibility, including quick home charging and available DC fast charging. Mercedes also backs the hybrid battery with a six-year/60,000-mile limited warranty, which helps reduce some ownership uncertainty.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is the complexity that comes with a high-end plug-in hybrid luxury sedan, so a careful pre-purchase inspection matters.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the hybrid system, charging equipment, and any expensive luxury options. You should also pay close attention to interior condition, electronics, and suspension behavior, since those are the kinds of areas that can matter most on a flagship sedan.

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 2023 tester is the S 580e plug-in hybrid. The base models emphasize calm sophistication, but the tester adds optional high-gloss black trim, 20-inch AMG wheels, and AMG-style bumpers and side skirts.
• 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 hands-on system uses adaptive cruise control and lane centering, and it can handle lane changes when you signal.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.8-inch OLED touchscreen with MBUX. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, along with augmented-reality navigation and wireless charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The plug-in hybrid is rated at 51 MPGe combined, and the gas engine returns 23 mpg combined once the battery is depleted.

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, Maybach S 580, Maybach S 680, and S 580e.

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 technology foundation without stepping into the plug-in hybrid’s added complexity.
• S 580: Choose this if you want more power and a more traditional flagship feel. It suits you if you value strong performance and don’t need the plug-in hybrid’s electric range.
• Maybach S 580: This is the move if rear-seat luxury and extra opulence matter most. It is the right pick when you want the most upscale S-Class experience short of the top Maybach.
• Maybach S 680: Pick this if you want the most lavish, most exclusive version in the lineup. It is the top-end choice for buyers who want maximum prestige and comfort.
• S 580e: This is the best-value trim if you want the most distinctive 2023 powertrain. It combines strong performance, 56 miles of electric range, and the latest electrified S-Class setup.

The safety content highlights a very comprehensive driver-assistance suite, so even the lower trims are well equipped on that front.

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 opportunities.

• Deal availability: 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,237 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.75% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $77,960.26, 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 $78,218 sits slightly below last year's $89,649.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently today. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment because the model has already moved off its earlier price peak.

If you keep the car in excellent shape and maintain it well, you should be better positioned than a seller with a rougher example. But if you buy near the top of the range, you may have less cushion if prices continue to soften.

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 is extensive, with lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, Crosswind Assist, and Speed Limit Assist. The standout feature is the hands-on highway driver-assist system, which uses adaptive cruise control and lane centering and can even handle lane changes when you signal.

That said, the lack of published crash-test results means you should lean more heavily on the vehicle’s active-safety hardware and a careful inspection of the specific car 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:

• 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.75% compared with last year.
• The 2023 adds a new plug-in hybrid powertrain with impressive electric range and strong performance.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $63,355, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $78,218 average.
• It offers a traditional mild-hybrid S-Class setup with strong luxury appeal and a more familiar powertrain lineup.

The bottom line: If you want the most advanced 2023-era S-Class experience, the plug-in hybrid model is the one to target. If your priority is lower purchase price, the 2022 is the smarter value play and still gives you the core S-Class luxury formula.
