If the large luxury sedan segment was a mountain, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz S-Class would be at the summit.

Cons

Power, Ride and Handling

Driving Impressions

There’s nothing lacking in the S 500. It melds 442 horsepower with superb refinement. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/">Mercedes-Benz</a> says this model can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in a brisk 4.5 seconds. We don’t dispute it. To compare, the BMW 740i has 375 hp and hits 60 mph in 5.1 seconds.
However, the authoritative V8 thrust of the 496-hp S 580 seems perfectly right in a large luxury sedan. It will shave 0.2 of a second from the S 500’s sprint time.
We’ve also driven the S 580e plug-in hybrid, which feels so beautifully effortless. We could never tell when its V6 was sliding into or out of operation without looking at the rev counter. The electric motor is perfectly capable of decent freeway speeds and making decisive passing moves without any help from the gasoline side.
Life behind the wheel of a 2026 S-Class is rather wonderful. As that smell of fine leather or the cabin fragrance system wafts gently into your nostrils, the massaging seat kneads your back, your elbows rest on padded areas of yet more leather, and the crystal-clear stereo system plays your favorite tracks, the rest of the world falls into insignificance.
Threading through city streets or dashing down a highway, there’s the same comfort and pretty much the same suppressed level of noise. An air suspension is standard, enhancing comfort, yet also making the car feel more agile than its size suggests. A comprehensive set of driver assistance features is also included.
In our ideal new S-Class, we would also choose the rear-wheel steering system for greater maneuverability. And the E-Active Body Control hydro-pneumatic suspension that reads the road ahead, adjusts the ride quality accordingly, and helps keep the car astonishingly flat through corners.
We review the higher-powered 2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-s-class/">Mercedes-AMG S-Class</a> separately. Likewise, the ultra-luxurious <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-maybach-s-class/">Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.</a>
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The S 500 4Matic achieves 24 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Compare that with the BMW 740i xDrive, which manages 27 mpg combined.
People who can afford a new S-Class aren’t especially worried about fuel bills, but if anyone wanted to reduce their carbon footprint a little, the S 580e plug-in hybrid can travel for an impressive 56 miles on battery power alone. After that, it achieves 23 mpg combined. With a computer-controlled combination of electric and gasoline operation, it feels almost odd to be driving an S-Class and hardly see the fuel gauge move even after a couple of long drives. The comparable BMW 750e xDrive runs for 35 miles in electric mode.
All these engines require premium gasoline.

Elegant Exterior

Exterior

As brave and bold as something like the BMW 7 Series might be, with its avant-garde exterior styling, some buyers are going to be more conservative in their tastes. Over its many generations, the S-Class has always occupied the top spot, and part of the reason why is its design. It manages to convey presence, authority, prestige, and elegance — all at the same time.
This year’s expanded plethora of Manufaktur paint choices should please even the pickiest customer.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Front seats 
The front seats have rapid heating or cooling, as well as multiple massaging programs — some of which go on for nearly 20 minutes. Even better news, these aren’t optional. They’re standard in every new S-Class luxury sedan.
Augmented reality 
The standard navigation system in the 2026 S-Class can show images of what’s directly ahead, and highlight things like direction signs and street numbers. This is done on the infotainment screen, as well as the optional head-up display.
Hey, Mercedes 
Wake up the onboard digital assistant with these two words, then give a command like “raise the cabin’s temperature by two degrees” or “turn down the volume.” This is another standard feature of the 2026 S-Class.
Powered rear shades 
The rear window and rear passenger windows at each side have shades that go up and down with the touch of a button — also standard.
Burmester 15-speaker/710-watt surround-sound system 
This standard setup is superb — crisp, detailed, and powerful. Or there’s always the optional 30-speaker/1,750-watt 4D upgrade for an even more immersive listening experience.
Soft-closing doors 
Yes, they’re common at this lofty luxury level, but every time we get in the S-Class and the doors shut smoothly behind us, we get a little thrill. They&#8217;re standard across the lineup.
&nbsp;

Interior Sanctum

Interior

Heaven on four wheels. The feel of the leather, the comfort of the seats, the heft of the switchgear, the many tech features, the cabin air ionization and fragrance, the space, the silence. These all collude to create a sumptuous and secure bubble, where occupants can dictate how much of the outside world they want to allow in.
Mercedes-Benz brings only its long-wheelbase S-Class models into the United States, so there’s plenty of legroom for tall passengers sitting in the back. Audi and BMW do the same thing. Every S-Class has the option of two executive rear seats with power-adjustable/heated/massaging seats and heated armrests. We’re mentioning the vast array of Manufaktur interior decor choices again, because there are just so many.
At 12.9 cubic feet, the trunk isn’t that big (similar to a Toyota Corolla’s). Perhaps S-Class owners have their Louis Vuitton luggage transported in a separate vehicle. The S 580e plug-in hybrid’s trunk is even smaller — 8.1 cubic feet — we struggled to get a large suitcase in there.

KBB Editors' Overview

There can only be one supreme ruler of the flagship sedan realm. It’s this, the S-Class. And it’s occupied that throne for many years and generations. Just like Steven Spielberg really, really knows how to make a film involving sharks, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/">Mercedes-Benz</a> is a master of the large luxury car.
Part of that mastery is the painstaking attention to the smallest details. Some of it comes from innovations in technology, especially on the safety front, or often applying them to enhance comfort. Then there’s the ability to power (quietly) along an autobahn with stability and reassurance. There isn’t only one reason why the S-Class rules, and that’s precisely why the S-Class rules.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-full-size-cars/">luxury full-size sedans</a>, including the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Pricing - Static

The S 580 4Matic is the most popular variant and one we would recommend for its considerable standard inventory and engine power.
Two main S-Class rivals are the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/7-series/">BMW 7 Series</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/panamera/">Porsche Panamera</a>, both with prices beginning below their Mercedes-Benz equivalent. We’re expecting a new-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a8/">Audi A8</a>, which should also begin lower than the S-Class. Same story with the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/ls/">Lexus LS</a>. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/g90/">Genesis G90</a> is also less expensive than the S-Class, yet absolutely worth considering.
Before buying a new S-Class large luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Resale values should be about average for the class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one, if that matters to an S-Class buyer.

Trims

Under the Hood

Before we get into the actual engines, a brief word about the mild hybrid system used in the S 500 and S 580 drivetrains. An electric motor enables a smooth action to the fuel-saving engine stop/restart function, as well as providing brief boosts of 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque.
An electrical compressor is part of the setup. It’s like a supercharger, working in tandem with the turbocharger(s). And when the optional E-Active Body Control hydro-pneumatic suspension is on board, the mild hybrid system also powers this. It’s typical of Mercedes-Benz to corral technology in the pursuit of comfort and refinement.
The S 500’s combustion side is a turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder unit. Output is a perfectly fine 442 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque.
The S 580 drivetrain employs twin turbochargers bolted to a 4.0-liter V8 to make 496 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The S 580e is a plug-in hybrid, pairing the 3.0-liter turbo V6/mild hybrid system with an electric motor to create a total of 510 hp.
Every new S-Class has an all-wheel drive (AWD) system (known as 4Matic on Planet Mercedes) and a 9-speed automatic transmission.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The new-car and powertrain warranty on a 2025 S-Class lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Roadside assistance is included. This is the usual arrangement in the luxury sector. Plug-in hybrid batteries are covered for six years or 60,000 miles in some states and 10 years or 150,000 miles in others.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The S-Class hasn’t been crash-tested by any independent agencies. That’s a common thing for such high-end vehicles, but it shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. Mercedes-Benz packs its flagship sedan with an array of comprehensive and often innovative standard safety features, such as the special windshield wiper system that doesn’t mess up vision with indiscriminate splashing all over the glass.

What's new for

There’s been a big equipment shake-up for the 2026 S-Class. A new Exclusive trim comes in below the Pinnacle trim, bringing a heated steering wheel, heated armrests, ventilated/power-adjustable rear seats with memory settings, plus several other convenience features.
All 2026 S-Class variants are eligible for the Executive Rear Seat package, which now heightens (or deepens) the luxury for two occupants, adding folding tables and a temperature-controlled cup holder.
The new Edition 580 package is exclusive to the S 580 4Matic (not the hybrid version) and bundles various features such as a choice of Manufaktur paint finishes, plus posher-than-usual mats and headrests.
The Manufaktur personalization program has gone into overdrive, with more than 50 new paint finishes, along with at least 20 new upholstery choices.

The massive 3-row interior of the Toyota Grand Highlander makes it one of the most practical family vehicles among midsize SUVs.

Power, Ride, and Handling

The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander is powered by a 265-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).
This is a perfectly nice powertrain for everyday use. There’s some coarse noise from the engine that’s characteristic of SUVs this size with turbo 4-cylinder engines, but it’s smooth and hushed once you get up to highway speeds. It’s more than enough power for most applications, but nothing so powerful it demands much attention. Light steering inputs and confident braking make for a pleasant driving experience.
The optional all-wheel drive is plenty sure-footed in cold weather, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> doesn’t even try to pretend it’s made for rock crawling, which is refreshing amidst the off-road trend spreading through this class.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Toyota Grand Highlander returns up to 21 city/28 highway/24 combined mpg with front-wheel drive. Upgrading to all-wheel drive brings that rating down to 23 combined mpg on the lower trims and 22 combined mpg on the Limited and Platinum trims because of the 20-inch wheels. Still, these are decent efficiency ratings for such a big SUV.
For better fuel economy in the same family-friendly package, consider the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander-hybrid/2026/">Grand Highlander Hybrid</a>, which returns up to 36 mpg in mixed driving.

Humble Exterior

Toyota has a reputation for putting function over form, and that’s evident in the Grand Highlander’s design. It’s a nice-looking vehicle as long as you prefer subtlety over flash. Upper trims get stylish 20-inch wheels, and Toyota’s multi-layered &#8220;Pearl&#8221; paint options of Ruby Flare and Wind Chill add a more premium look to the body.

Infotainment system 
Every Grand Highlander trim level gets the same 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. We found it fairly intuitive to operate manually or with voice commands by saying “Hey, Toyota” to get the system’s attention. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard.
Smart Key 
This lets you use your smartphone as a key. Conveniently, you can share it with another smartphone remotely. Sadly, it requires a subscription after a trial period.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
This standard safety tech suite bundles must-have safety and driver-assist features like automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, road sign assist, and automatic high beams.
360-degree camera system 
Provided only on the Platinum trim, this feature gives the driver a bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s surroundings. We found it particularly useful in negotiating tight parking garages.
Digital rearview mirror 
Found only on the Platinum model, this shows you a clear view of what’s behind the car even if the rear window is blocked with a dorm room’s worth of stuff.
Traffic Jam Assist 
Also part of the Platinum trim, this feature can take care of the steering, throttle, and brakes at speeds up to 25 mph, under certain conditions. It’s a fatigue-saver in traffic.

Vast Interior

We’ll say at the outset that the Toyota Grand Highlander is a midsize 3-row SUV for families who will actually use the third row every day. It&#8217;s up there with the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/traverse/">Chevy Traverse</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/atlas/">Volkswagen Atlas</a> as one of the roomiest in its class, with adult-friendly third-row seating and decent cargo space behind the third row. Precious few players in this class can make these claims.
Anything over 30 inches is pretty good for third-row legroom in a midsize SUV, and the Grand Highlander offers 33.5 inches for stretching out in the way back. As for cargo space, you get 20.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 57.9 cubic feet behind the second row, and a Costco-ready 97.5 cubic feet behind the first row.
OK, so it’s huge inside, but how’s the interior quality? The inside of the Grand Highlander has a just-right balance of quality and toddler-resistant durability to make it both comfortable and suitable for family use. Also, cupholders, USB-C ports, and storage cubbies are generously placed throughout this practical interior, which we love to see in a family hauler.
One of our editors has five children and has tested the Grand Highlander as a real-world daily driver for his family. While it’s still no minivan, he was impressed by how thoughtfully designed this interior is for real families, not just the ones in the commercials. In addition to the space, installing car seats is relatively easy, and ingress and egress to and from the third row don’t require much contortion by the passengers.
On the tech front, a 12.3-inch infotainment display comes standard on every Grand Highlander, as do wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Higher trims get more advanced tech features and premium appointments, like a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a head-up display, a panoramic moonroof, and JBL audio.

Not all midsize <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-3-row-suvs/">3-row SUVs</a> are created equal. Some families buy them thinking they’re just as good as minivans, but, in some cases, the unfortunate third-row passengers beg to differ. The Toyota Grand Highlander is one option that really is almost as good as a minivan. It has one of the roomiest interiors in its class with adult-friendly third-row seating and cargo space you can actually use behind those rearmost seats. In addition to its roominess, the Grand Highlander has modern and user-friendly safety and infotainment tech features. Add in strong resale value and Toyota reliability, and the Grand Highlander is one of the most sensible and practical family SUVs we’ve tested.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Toyota Grand Highlander.

The 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander starts at $42,855 for the base LE trim. All-wheel drive costs an extra $1,600 on most trims, but it’s standard on the top Platinum trim, which starts at $56,040.

Pricing for the Toyota Grand Highlander is slightly higher than that of the segment average, but it’s also one of the biggest and roomiest midsize SUVs available. You pay a little extra for that extra space and for Toyota’s rock-solid reputation for long-term reliability.
Before buying a Grand Highlander, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Toyota Grand Highlander resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

Power for the non-hybrid variant of the Toyota Highlander comes from a 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, rated at 265 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Output is routed to the front or all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional on all but the Platinum trim, where it’s standard. The Grand Highlander is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Of note, there’s also a Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid, which we <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander-hybrid/">review separately</a>. Its base hybrid powertrain maximizes efficiency, returning up to 36 mpg combined, while the Hybrid MAX powertrain is more about performance, generating 362 hp.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Toyota’s new-vehicle warranty conforms to the class norms of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first, with powertrains covered for five years or 60,000 miles. Toyota also includes free scheduled maintenance over the first two years or 25,000 miles. We caution buyers, however, not to overweigh free maintenance plans. There just isn’t much scheduled maintenance in the first two years or 25,000 miles of new car ownership, so it’s not much of a savings.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) has given the Grand Highlander its top 5-Star overall safety rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) has given it mixed scores in what tests it has performed. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard across the board. It bundles advanced safety tech like lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

What's New for 2026
