How much does the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost?

Prices have softened 9.95% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 491 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

It’s a flagship luxury sedan that aims to deliver comfort, performance, technology, and refinement in equal measure, and the overview backs that up with a focus on premium materials, a comfortable ride, and a highly polished cabin. The trade-offs are clear too: cargo space is limited, and the capacitive touch controls can be frustrating to use.

For shoppers who want a deeply configurable luxury sedan with multiple powertrain options, this is a strong fit. 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview points to a highly polished flagship with premium materials and careful construction, while the expert evaluation emphasizes a refined, quiet driving experience and a powertrain lineup that feels well sorted. The performance notes also describe the plug-in hybrid system as smooth and harmonious, with the gas engine and electric motor blending seamlessly.

The cost-effectiveness notes add that the plug-in hybrid is the efficiency leader of the lineup, and the broader lineup gives you multiple powertrain choices to match your priorities. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a complex luxury sedan can be expensive to keep in top shape if prior owners skipped maintenance or deferred repairs.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a car with this much technology and this many luxury features. Focus on overall condition, because the cabin materials, electronics, and driver-assistance systems are central to the ownership experience here.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is defined by premium materials, a striking horizontal dashboard layout, and a long-wheelbase body style in the U.S., but the base setup does not include the rear-seat amenities that come with the higher trim. The Pinnacle trim adds rear-seat features and extra luxury equipment, so you should decide whether those upgrades matter to your use case.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, and plug-in hybrid variants. The plug-in hybrid is the efficiency leader, with 48 miles of electric range and 23 mpg in combined driving once the battery is depleted.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, automated lane-change assist, evasive steering assistance, automatic reverse braking, a semi-automated parking system, and a surround-view camera system. The Pinnacle trim adds rear-seat side and seatbelt airbags.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, native navigation with augmented reality video overlays, voice recognition, and a Burmester surround-sound system. Wireless charging and rear-seat entertainment are part of the higher trim.
• Fuel efficiency: The S 580e is rated at 23 mpg combined after the battery is depleted and offers 48 miles of electric range. The S 500 is rated at 24 mpg combined, while the S 580 is rated at 20 mpg.

Which 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class trim should I buy?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is offered in 4 trim levels: S 500, S 580, S 580e, AMG S 63 E Performance.

Here's the short version:

• S 500: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the core S-Class experience with the inline-six powertrain, standard all-wheel drive, and the full base tech and safety suite. It’s the best-value choice if you want the S-Class name and comfort without stretching into the pricier variants.
• S 580: Choose this if you want the V8 upgrade and stronger performance without jumping all the way to the AMG model. It adds more power and keeps the same luxury-first mission, making it a good fit if effortless acceleration matters to you.
• S 580e: This is the smart pick if you want the most balanced mix of power and efficiency. It delivers plug-in hybrid capability, strong electric range, and the best fuel economy in the lineup, so it suits buyers who can charge at home and want lower running costs.
• AMG S 63 E Performance: This is the performance flagship, with the most extreme output and the quickest acceleration in the lineup. It’s for you if outright speed is the priority and you’re willing to pay for it.

The Pinnacle trim adds rear-seat amenities and rear-seat side and seatbelt airbags, so it’s worth considering if you care about back-seat comfort and extra safety equipment.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find opportunities.

• Deal availability: 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 491 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.95% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $125,861, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?

The current average of $125,861 sits slightly below last year's $139,763.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may also mean a future seller has less cushion if prices keep easing. The current range still shows meaningful spread between the low and high end, so condition, trim, and equipment will matter a lot when it comes time to resell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class safe?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has not yet been rated by either IIHS or NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard advanced safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, automated lane-change assist, evasive steering assistance, automatic reverse braking, a semi-automated parking system, and a surround-view camera system. The Pinnacle trim adds rear-seat side and seatbelt airbags.

Should I buy a 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.95% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 model adds newly standard digital key functionality and a center airbag, plus wider availability of the AMG Line trim package.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest version of this flagship sedan with the latest standard equipment and a softer market, the 2025 is the right place to start. If your priority is simply getting into an S-Class for less money, a nearby model year may be worth a look, but you should expect to give up some of the 2025 updates.
