The new S-Class combines effortless performance with its signature serenity and composure – thanks to an optimized selection of electrified powertrains. From 8- and 6-cylinder gasoline engines and 6-cylinder diesels to two plug-in hybrids, the S-Class offers a wide range of options. Each one contributes to the characteristic, effortless smoothness that defines the S-Class experience.
At the top of the range is the new eight-cylinder engine (M 177 Evo) in the Mercedes-Benz S 580 4MATIC. It delivers 395 kW (537 hp) and a maximum torque of 750 Nm. Technical upgrades and mild-hybrid technology support linear power delivery, efficient energy recuperation, and exceptional smoothness – all while meeting the latest emissions standards and providing an incomparably quiet interior.
The six-cylinder petrol engine (M 256 Evo) in the Mercedes-Benz S 450 4MATIC sedan and the Mercedes-Benz S 500 4MATIC sedan now responds even more dynamically: Maximum torque increases to 600 Nm and, via overboost, to up to 640 Nm. Overboost refers to a short-term increase in torque through higher boost pressure from the exhaust gas turbocharger, giving the S-Class even more pulling power in certain driving situations such as overtaking or accelerating. Other key improvements include a more powerful electric auxiliary compressor, optimized intake and exhaust ports, and a revised intake camshaft. Enhanced insulation measures ensure excellent noise and vibration damping and an exceptionally low noise level at any speed.
