2015$24,782$24,476 – $26,526
2014$20,119$20,119 – $22,739

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class's current nationwide average price is $52,086, and its lowest point over the past year was $48,102. 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 and a long track record of refinement. 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, advanced technology, comfortable and spacious interiors, smooth ride, and powerful engines. The model’s craftsmanship and safety innovations also come up often in owner feedback, reinforcing its reputation as a polished, high-end sedan.

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

The main tradeoffs are the high purchase price, expensive ownership costs, and technology that can feel frustrating to use in some recent years. Even so, the S-Class remains a compelling luxury buy if you value comfort, performance, and a richly appointed cabin.

32.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Mercedes-Benz S-Class models reliable?

Owners consistently praise the S-Class for its luxurious feel, advanced technology, smooth ride, and strong performance. Expert reviews also highlight the model’s comfort, craftsmanship, and polished driving character across the lineup.

  • 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 complexity and upkeep costs than to the basic appeal of the car itself, 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 %
202697.4%
202595.6%
202492%
202388.7%
202285%
202179.5%
202072.3%
201968.4%
201863.2%
201760.2%
201659.1%
201559.9%
201460.4%

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

Key things to evaluate:

  • 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.

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

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers these trims:

  • S 500: The entry point brings a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, a nine-speed automatic transmission, 4Matic all-wheel drive, and a smooth luxury focus that suits shoppers who want the core S-Class experience.
  • S 580: This trim adds a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 and more power, making it a strong fit if you want a more muscular version of the flagship sedan.
  • S 580e: The plug-in hybrid adds an electric motor and a 22.7-kWh battery pack, plus an estimated 48 miles of electric range; it stands out as the best-value trim for buyers who want efficiency and performance together.
  • AMG S 63 E Performance: The performance flagship adds a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with an electric motor, a dedicated gearbox, and 791 hp for buyers who want the most powerful version.
  • Pinnacle: This upgrade adds rear-seat amenities like an infotainment-system tablet, voice controls, a wireless charging pad, and an entertainment system with two 11.6-inch displays, making it the right choice if rear-seat comfort and tech matter most.

What Mercedes-Benz S-Class do most buyers choose?

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class years with the most listings are 2023, 2022, and 2024.

Model YearTotal ListingsGood + Great Deals %
20231,21034.5%
20221,10934.5%
202498733.4%
201695434.6%
201585633.6%
202172334.2%

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and a wider spread of prices and equipment. They also often sit close to the sweet spot between newer features and used-car savings.

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

The smallest changes are concentrated in the older and newer ends of the lineup, while the biggest drops show up in several mid-cycle years.

The 2017, 2024, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Mercedes-Benz S-Class now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

  • Price trend: The 2025 model is at −8.72% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.64%.
  • Deal availability: The 2024 model has 33.4% good and great deals.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $76,332. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers a spacious, premium cabin with a smooth ride and a strong sense of flagship luxury.

Consider waiting if:

  • Powertrain/efficiency: Four S-Class models are available for 2025, largely distinguished by their powertrains, including a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 442 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque and a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with 496 hp and 516 lb-ft.
  • Tech: 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.

  • Starting price: The entry-level 2025 Mercedes-Benz S 500 has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $118,900.

If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
