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

Prices have softened 12.96% 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.

You’re looking at a luxury full-size sedan that emphasizes premium materials, strong performance, and advanced technology. The 2023 update adds a new powertrain, and the plug-in hybrid setup gives you a modern electrified option with substantial electric driving range.

Cons: It’s very expensive, and it doesn’t qualify for a federal tax rebate.

For shoppers who want a flagship sedan with a high-end cabin and cutting-edge features, it fits the brief well. The market also shows 33.1% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you 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, and the expert review emphasizes its smooth operation, premium build, and well-integrated hybrid powertrain.

Its plug-in hybrid setup pairs a turbocharged inline-six with a battery and electric motor, and the powertrain transitions smoothly in hybrid driving. The review also notes that the transmission generally works unobtrusively, which supports a refined ownership experience.

The cost-effectiveness notes add that Mercedes backs the car with 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, high-end vehicle, so upkeep can be expensive if prior maintenance has been neglected.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean title alone doesn’t tell you how the car was maintained or repaired. A pre-purchase inspection matters here, especially on a luxury sedan with advanced electronics, hybrid hardware, and a long list of comfort and driver-assist features. Focus on overall condition, since wear on the cabin, charging system, and suspension can matter as much as mileage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes S 500, S 580, Maybach S 580, and Maybach S 680. The S 580e tester adds plug-in hybrid hardware and 4Matic all-wheel drive, while the standard S-Class emphasizes calm sophistication, panoramic sunroof availability, and a superbly finished cabin. The base setup is less flashy than the tester’s optional AMG-style exterior pieces and upgraded interior materials.
• Powertrain: The 2023 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 car 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 can follow a lead car, stay centered in its lane, and change lanes when you signal.
• 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, USB-C ports, and a standard Burmester sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The plug-in hybrid returns 51 MPGe combined and can travel 56 miles on electric power alone. When the battery is depleted, it gets 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 core luxury, technology, and comfort features without moving up to the pricier variants.
• S 580: This is the better-value choice if you want more power and a more upscale feel while staying below the Maybach models.
• Maybach S 580: Choose this if you want the most indulgent version of the standard V8-era luxury formula and are willing to pay for the extra prestige.
• Maybach S 680: This is the top-end choice for buyers who want the most exclusive, most expensive S-Class experience in the lineup.

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

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: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,210 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.96% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $77,817, 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 $78,185 sits slightly below last year's $89,829.

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 trend may limit upside unless demand strengthens. For a future seller, the key advantage is that you’re entering at a lower average price than last year, which can reduce depreciation pressure if you buy well.

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 suite 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 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:

• 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.96% compared with last year.
• Mercedes introduced a new plug-in hybrid powertrain for 2023, giving this year added appeal if you want the latest setup.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $63,618, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $78,185 average.
• It offers a full-size luxury sedan with a 48-volt mild hybrid setup, strong tech, and all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the newer powertrain and the strongest mix of tech and luxury, the 2023 is the better target. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2022 is the more budget-friendly path and still delivers the core S-Class experience.
