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

Prices have softened 9.34% 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 workable amount of inventory to compare.

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

Yes — the 5/5 user rating and 7.33/10 expert rating point to a strong overall package. The standout strength is Performance at 9/10.

The S-Class is built around comfort, performance, technology, and refinement, and it backs that up with a premium interior, a comfortable ride, and multiple powertrain options. It also gives you a highly configurable flagship luxury sedan experience, which is a big part of its appeal if you want a tailored luxury car rather than a one-size-fits-all choice.

The trade-offs are limited cargo space and capacitive touch controls that can be frustrating to use.

Good and great deals account for 31.8% of listings, 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 S-Class is positioned as a polished flagship, and the expert evaluation emphasizes its comfort, refinement, and strong execution across the cabin and driving experience. Its powertrains are described as smooth and well-integrated, and the available systems functioned without false alarms or odd glitches during testing.

The plug-in hybrid setup is especially noteworthy for its smooth transition between electric and gas power, and the efficiency-focused model is described as a compelling choice for buyers with easy access to charging. If you buy used, your main long-term risk is the complexity that comes with a highly optioned luxury sedan, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a car this complex and expensive to maintain. Focus on overall condition, because the S-Class can be loaded with features and options that are costly to sort out if they were neglected. Pay extra attention to how the controls, electronics, and comfort systems operate in real-world use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is defined by premium materials, a striking horizontal dashboard layout, and a long-wheelbase body in the U.S., while the available rear-seat-focused equipment on higher trims adds more luxury for passengers who ride in back.
• Powertrain: You can choose from a turbocharged inline-six, a twin-turbo V8, or plug-in hybrid setups, and the lineup emphasizes smooth power delivery, strong acceleration, and efficiency gains from the mild-hybrid and plug-in systems.
• 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: Standard tech includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, native navigation with augmented reality overlays, voice recognition, and a Burmester surround-sound system. A digital key is also standard, and the Pinnacle trim adds rear-seat tech and charging features.
• Fuel efficiency: The plug-in hybrid is rated at 48 miles of electric range and 23 mpg combined once the battery is depleted. The base six-cylinder is rated at 24 mpg combined, and the V8 is rated at 20 mpg combined.

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 a turbocharged inline-six, standard all-wheel drive, and the full luxury-tech baseline. It makes the most sense if you want the least expensive way into the model without giving up the flagship feel.
• S 580: The V8 upgrade brings more power and a stronger performance character while keeping the same luxury mission. If you want the best balance of traditional S-Class smoothness and extra muscle, this is the trim to look at first.
• S 580e: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it combines more power than the base six-cylinder with better efficiency than the V8. It also stands out if you can charge at home and want the plug-in hybrid’s electric-range advantage.
• AMG S 63 E Performance: This is the performance flagship, with the most power and the quickest acceleration in the lineup. It suits you if you want the most extreme version of the S-Class and are willing to pay for it.

The Pinnacle trim adds rear-seat amenities and rear-seat side and seatbelt airbags.

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: 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 491 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.34% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $126,869, 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 $127,697 sits slightly below last year's $140,857.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you as a buyer today but may mean a softer resale environment if you plan to sell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that the model’s value is still supported by its flagship status, but pricing momentum is currently working against appreciation.

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 does not have published crash test results from either IIHS or NHTSA yet.

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.

The expert evaluation notes that these systems worked flawlessly during testing, and the adaptive cruise control was especially strong thanks to smooth transitions between acceleration and braking. The main caveat is that crash-test data has not been published for this generation yet, so you are relying on the car’s equipment and engineering rather than public test scores.

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:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.34% 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 with the latest standard equipment and a softer used-car price trend, the 2025 is the right place to start. If your priority is stretching your budget further, a nearby model year may be worth comparing, but the 2025 gives you a strong mix of value, features, and satisfaction for a luxury sedan at this level.
