How much does the Mercedes-Benz S-Class cost in today's market?

Used Mercedes-Benz S-Class prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

2022$61,720$61,720 – $69,333
2021$58,286$57,678 – $63,770
2020$45,445$45,445 – $52,409
2019$39,507$39,058 – $45,354
2018$33,979$33,761 – $36,828
2017$38,311$37,939 – $40,461

2015$24,808$24,474 – $26,715
2014$20,513$20,513 – $22,787

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class's current nationwide average price is $51,452, and its lowest point over the past year was $48,055. Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

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

Yes — the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a strong choice if you want a flagship luxury sedan with broad appeal across generations. The all-generations owner rating is 4.7/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the S-Class for its luxurious feel, comfortable and spacious interiors, smooth ride, powerful engines, and advanced technology. The model also earns recurring praise for craftsmanship and safety innovations, which help reinforce its flagship character.

Expert reviews rate the 2022 and 2023 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs are high purchase prices, expensive upkeep, and technology that can be frustrating to use in some years. For used shoppers, that means the S-Class rewards you with top-tier comfort and presence, but you should budget carefully and choose a well-kept example.

31.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Mercedes-Benz S-Class models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the S-Class as luxurious, comfortable, and impressively engineered, with strong performance and advanced technology showing up again and again in reviews. Across the lineup, the model’s craftsmanship and smooth ride are recurring strengths that help define the ownership experience.

  • Owners rate the Mercedes-Benz S-Class between 3.9 and 5 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied more to upkeep and complexity than to the basic appeal of the car, so a careful pre-purchase inspection and service-history review matter a lot.

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

Across all model years, at 73.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Model YearAccident-Free %
202697.7%
202596.1%
202492.6%
202389.4%
202285.6%
202179.5%
202071.9%
201968.7%
201863.6%
201758.4%
201657.2%
201557.8%
201459.7%

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.

Key things to evaluate:

  • Safety package: 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.
  • Infotainment: All 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class models have a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen, a native navigation system with augmented reality video overlays, voice recognition, and a Burmester surround-sound system.
  • Fuel efficiency: The S 580e is the efficiency leader of the lineup, with 48 miles of electric range and 23 mpg in combined driving once the battery is depleted.

  • S 580e: This plug-in hybrid adds a 22.7-kWh battery pack, 503 hp, 553 lb-ft, and an estimated 48 miles of electric range, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers who want efficiency and strong performance.
