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 a long track record of comfort, performance, and advanced technology. 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, and powerful engines. They also highlight the model’s advanced technology, craftsmanship, and safety innovations as defining strengths.

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

The main tradeoffs are high ownership costs, technology that can be frustrating to use in some years, and limited cargo space in the newest generation.

30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Mercedes-Benz S-Class models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently praise the S-Class for its luxurious feel, advanced technology, and strong performance. Across the model years in the data, the car also earns repeated praise for its smooth ride, premium cabin, and polished driving experience.

  • Owners rate the Mercedes-Benz S-Class between 3.92 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is tied to the S-Class’s complexity, so a well-documented service history matters a lot.

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

Across all model years, at 73.2% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Model YearAccident-Free %
202698.3%
202596.8%
202492.6%
202389.3%

201862%
201758.3%
201657.4%
201556.5%
201457.9%

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.

  • 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 with 442 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, plus standard 4Matic all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
  • S 580e: This plug-in hybrid adds an electric motor and a 22.7-kWh battery pack for 503 hp, 553 lb-ft, and an estimated 48 miles of electric range, making it the best-value trim for buyers who want strong efficiency and serious performance.
  • S 580: The V8-powered step up adds 496 hp and 516 lb-ft, along with the same standard all-wheel drive and nine-speed automatic.
  • AMG S 63 E Performance: The performance flagship combines a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with an electric motor for 791 hp and 1,055 lb-ft, plus an estimated 16 miles of electric-only propulsion.

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 −11.05% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.47%.
  • Deal availability: The 2024 model has 31.3% good and great deals.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $78,407. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers a deeply polished cabin, a smooth ride, and a flagship feel that has defined the nameplate for decades.

Consider waiting if:

  • Powertrain/efficiency: Four S-Class models are available for 2025, largely distinguished by their powertrains, including the S 500 with 442 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque and the S 580e with 503 hp, 553 lb-ft, and an estimated 48 miles of electric range.
  • 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.
  • Safety: 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.
  • 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.
