What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
"Great car in fantastic condition"
"Fantastic shape. New tires everything perfect condition. Beautiful black car Interior beige leather perfect condition"
"Exceptional"
"This 2022 S Class replaced my 2017 S Class. I am overwhelmed by the improvement between the two cars. Everything is better. The ride quality, the materials, the overall feel of quality, the audio system, the interior silence, even the fuel consumption. My car is highly optioned, but the base car is also an excellent choice. Once you own an S Class, the only other car you buy is another S Class. This car is truly exceptional."
"Maintenance Nightmare"
"2023 S580 with 3095 miles in for warranty work, check engine light, battery warning and rear passenger air vents blocked. It's been one week in for service dealer did provide a loaner and work performed under warranty. However, getting a new 12V starter battery warranted took some doing and luckily covered under prepaid maintenance agreement. Engine control module replaced and rear air vent control module replaced. Car has less than 4,000 miles. Annual maintenance services are expensive and annual updates to software are expensive. Depreciation like any new care is a big hit. Don't like the all touch screen, would like some knows to turn. Insurance is very expensive. Nice ride, plenty of power and very quiet. Looks great."
