Mercedes S Class

The beautiful looking Mercedes S Class will provide you with complete luxury and is a fantastic car to arrive in at a special occasion such as a special birthday or your wedding. The climate control system for the rear seats can be set to just how you like it and the comfort level of the rear heated seats themselves is unrivalled. Your chauffeur driven Mercedes S Class is a superb way to arrive at any special or corporate event that you have planned and you can book one online today through our site. The Mercedes S Class also makes a great additional vehicle to hire for the bridesmaids or even Mum and Dad.

Performance

Five petrol engines are offered. The 3.5 V6 in the S350 is more than comfortable in its task, the V8-engined S500 is quick enough to trouble a Porsche away from the lights, and the engines in the S600, S63 and S65 give even crazier performance. For all that, though, the strong, refined and frugal diesel is the most sensible choice - and still no slouch especially on the chauffeuring side.

Ride & Handling

The S-Class rides on air suspension, featuring adaptive damping that monitors the road surface and adjusts the suspension settings accordingly. Body movements are tightly controlled, the steering provides plenty of feel and accuracy and the brakes are strong.

Refinement

A little bit of wind noise finds its way into the S-Class’s cabin when you’re cruising on the motorway, but otherwise it’s eerily quiet. Engine noise is all-but absent, while road noise never rises above a muted rumble, no matter how fast you go.

Quality & Reliability

While highly polished wood and premium leather trim are the least you’d expect, the precision fit and finish of panels and proliferation of twinkling aluminium switches have the hallmark and solid quality reminiscent of an age when cars were hand-built by detail-obsessed craftsmen. Mechanically, it should take many miles in its stride.

Safety & Security

Just when you thought the S-Class had the lot it has got more. Latest features for the car are monitors to detect drowsy drivers or unintended lane changes, and check on blind spots. There's an upgraded night-view camera, too.

Behind The Wheel

There's plenty of room up-front, as well as finely adjustable seats. Many commonly used systems such as the stereo, ventilation and sat-nav, can be accessed through a single rotary dial and viewed on a large colour screen. This set-up is called Comand, and is similar to BMW's iDrive and Audi's MMI. However, it’s more distracting than these rival systems.

Space & Practicality

As well as being longer between the axles than the outgoing car, the new S-Class is also wider and taller. So, even when sprawled out in the back, there's little danger of well-heeled occupants rubbing shoulders and even less likelihood of them brushing their hand-tooled brogues against the front seats. Boot capacity has been increased by 60 litres to 560 litres, too.

Equipment

Standard specification is comprehensive, while some of the options are cutting-edge. These include radar-operated cruise control that automatically brakes the car to a standstill and then re-accelerates back up to a safe distance from the car in front in stop-start traffic, as well as infrared headlights that massively boost night-time visibility.
