Overview

  • The latest S-Class adopts Mercedes’ MB.OS platform, which powers a new MBUX Superscreen and speeds up menus, touch response, and voice commands supported by generative AI.
  • Unlike the EQS’s full-width Hyperscreen, the Superscreen pairs a separate 12.3-inch driver display with a glass panel that houses a 14.4-inch center screen and a 12.3-inch passenger screen.
  • Mercedes reworked the steering wheel to bring back tactile controls, replacing the touch volume slider with a physical roller for easier use on the move.
  • In the UK, the car is sold only in long-wheelbase form and emphasizes rear-seat use with larger 13.1-inch displays, detachable remotes, and video-call features for a mobile work setup.
  • The S450e and S580e plug-in hybrids trade luggage space for a 22.0 kWh battery, cutting the boot to 345 litres from 530 or 510 litres on non-hybrids, though the pack can charge at up to 60 kW.
