- Infotainment: a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen with a native navigation system, augmented reality video overlays, voice recognition, and a Burmester surround-sound system
- Fuel efficiency: 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 with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, 442 horsepower, 413 pound-feet of torque, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel plus a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen; best if you want the most accessible way into the lineup.
- S 580: adds a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with 496 hp and 516 lb-ft, plus interior ambient lighting; a strong choice if you want more power and a richer feel.
- S 580e: the plug-in hybrid adds an electric motor and a 22.7-kWh battery pack, with 503 hp, 553 lb-ft, and an estimated 48 miles of electric range; this is the best-value trim for buyers who want efficiency and performance together.

Reviewed a 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class on Dec 27, 2025
This model is particularly a great S-Class version. It is so much better than the successor model S. The features are pretty much the same but having the tactile models and not a giant Ipad in the middle made the car so much more user friendly. I hope the next version reverts back to tactile buttons and not all of these haptics that just do not work. It is a card with an excellent ride and the sound system is top notch. I have never really had a smooth quieter ride than the S Class Mercedes.

CarGurus recommends the 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Summary
With 1,234 currently listed for sale and an average price of $77,192, 33.4% of 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: CarGurus experts gave it an 8.5 / 10.
90.4% of 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a luxury full-size sedan that pairs the brand’s familiar emphasis on design and refinement with a new powertrain for 2023. It is described as being a few years into its latest generation, and Mercedes introduced a plug-in hybrid setup for this model year. That combination gives it a distinctive role for buyers who want a high-end sedan with the ability to travel far on electrons without fully committing to a battery-electric vehicle.
Its appeal is rooted in impressive technology, premium interior materials, and impressive electric range, all of which reinforce the S-Class’s upscale character. At the same time, it is not much more efficient than the non-hybrid powertrain, and it is very expensive. It also does not qualify for the federal tax rebate, which may matter to shoppers weighing the plug-in hybrid’s benefits against its cost.
