The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a luxury automobile that was introduced in the late 1980s. The S-Class name stands for “Severe” and “Supreme”. It was the first automobile in the world to feature a fully autonomous self-driving driving mode. In addition, it was the first vehicle to feature vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology.
The S-Class was produced in two series of turbocharged petrol and diesel models. Diesel models use OM656 and OM656-PD/PDM 2.4-litre engines, whereas the petrol engine series uses OM654B and OM654B2 diesel engines, and OM626 and OM626-PD/PDM 6.3-litre V12 diesel engines. The S-Class is available in a wide variety of body styles, such as saloon, coupe, convertible, and estate.
The S-Class is the most successful luxury car in the world and has been manufactured by Mercedes-Benz for 31 years, with about 2.25 million produced to date, making it one of the most successful production vehicles of all time.The S-Class has won the Top Gear Test Car of the Year and Car of the Year awards six times, more than any other car. In 1997, the S-Class received the coveted “International Engine of the Year” award from the Motor Trend Group.
The S-Class has received several crashworthiness upgrades such as improved passive restraint systems (GMI-electronic Active Traffic Jam Assist, Air bag system), enhanced engine cooling system, reduced vehicle weight, new chassis and radar cruise control with Stop&Go function.
