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.
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, 442 horsepower, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and standard 4Matic all-wheel drive, making it the most accessible way into the lineup.
- 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 shoppers who want strong efficiency and more power than the V8.
- S 580: The V8-powered step up adds 496 hp and 516 lb-ft for stronger performance while keeping the same luxury-first mission.
- AMG S 63 E Performance: The top performance model adds a twin-turbo V8, electric motor, dedicated gearbox, 791 hp, and 1,055 lb-ft for the quickest and most extreme S-Class experience.

What is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | $39,070 | −12.79% |
| 2022 | $61,837 | −11.42% |
| 2023 | $76,872 | −11.25% |
| 2016 | $28,409 | −11.24% |
| 2021 | $57,558 | −10.87% |
| 2020 | $46,296 | −10.15% |
| 2015 | $24,424 | −9.04% |
| 2025 | $123,756 | −8.66% |
| 2014 | $20,954 | −8.29% |

| 2017 | $38,118 | −5.31% |
| 2024 | $115,532 | −5.15% |
Most model years show clear year-over-year price declines, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The biggest drops are concentrated in several older and mid-cycle years, while a few newer years are falling more slowly. That pattern suggests there are still meaningful savings to be found across much of the lineup.
The 2024, 2017, and 2018 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 −8.66% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.15%.
- Deal availability: The 2024 model has 30.1% good and great deals.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2023 model has the most listings at a current average price of $76,872. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class offers a richly appointed cabin, a smooth ride, and a strong sense of flagship luxury that make it feel special even as a used purchase.
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 that increases power output to 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.
- 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.

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 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Summary
With 185 currently listed for sale and an average price of $60,029, 37.8% of 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4.5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8.7 / 10.
89.2% of 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a full-size four-door luxury sedan that aims to define modern executive transportation. It stands out for its 48-volt mild hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, which pairs with either a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder gas engine or a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, along with EQ Boost, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. That combination gives the car a distinctly upscale, high-tech character, while its stylish design, great ride quality, and premium interior materials reinforce its flagship mission.
For buyers, the appeal is straightforward: the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class delivers a deeply luxurious experience with strong refinement and a cabin built to feel special. It also offers two powertrain choices, with the S500 starting at $111,100 and the S580 starting at $117,700. Fuel economy is respectable for a large luxury sedan in the S500, which is rated at up to 21 mpg city/30 mpg highway/24 mpg combined, while the S580 is rated at 16 mpg city/25 mpg highway/19 mpg combined. Its main drawbacks are equally clear, since the design may not appeal to everyone and the price is undeniably high.
