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.

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 near San Diego, CA and an average price of $53,843, 25.9% of 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class models for sale 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 8.67 / 10.
90.8% of 2022 S-Class models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a full-size four-door luxury sedan that aims to define modern executive transportation. Its appeal starts with a 48-volt mild hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain and continues with a choice of a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder gas engine in the S500 or a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 in the S580. Both versions use EQ Boost, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive, giving the car a technical and upscale character that matches its flagship mission.
Beyond the hardware, the 2022 S-Class is distinguished by its stylish design, great ride quality, and premium interior materials. Those strengths make it especially attractive to buyers who want a luxury sedan that feels polished and substantial. The tradeoff is that its design may be polarizing, and there is no getting around the high price tag, with the S500 starting at $111,100 and the S580 starting at $117,700. Fuel economy is also mixed depending on the engine, with the S500 rated at up to 21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined, while the S580 is rated at 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.
