Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is an automotive icon that fulfills its lofty expectations for comfort, performance, technology, and refinement. Last redesigned for the 2021 model year, Mercedes’ flagship sedan receives only small changes for 2025, including newly standard features like digital key functionality and a center airbag, some additional paint colors, and wider availability of the AMG Line trim package. Verdict: Quite simply, the S-Class is the best luxury sedan that doesn't wear a Bentley or Rolls-Royce badge. With several models to choose from and a dizzying array of options, there seems to be a perfect match for a variety of tastes, provided you have a six-figure budget. | |
