Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles represent luxury, premium performance and the best in the automotive industry. New S-Class products can be experienced with all senses: sight, touch, hearing and smell. They showcase the most advanced comfort and safety solutions. The driver has at his disposal innovative means of assistance and interaction.
The German carmaker is forming a new generation of cars designed to meet the individual requirements of drivers. The series embodies the concept of digitizing the vehicle for the clearest possible response to the commands of the driver and passengers.
Positioning models
Previous releases of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class sold 500,000 units a year. And in the fall of 2020, the Mercedes-Benz company presented a new sample of the executive class sedan.
The seventh generation W223 is designed on the modular MRA II platform, which is an improved modification of the previous MRA bogie. As an option, this base is equipped with an active hydropneumatic suspension, which can control all shock absorbers separately, changing their position depending on the characteristics of the roadway.
When driving on a flat surface, the mechanisms lower, and when driving on bumpy terrain, they rise, increasing the vehicle's ground clearance by 80 mm. These characteristics provide road stability and comfort of use in different conditions.
For an additional fee, the buyer is offered a fully steerable chassis system, where the rear wheel row can be rotated by 10% to improve maneuverability when driving at low speeds or when entering sharp turns when driving at high speed.
Body Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2021
During the global renewal of the model range, Mercedes-Benz designers have greatly changed the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz S500 2021. At the same time, the changes are much more significant than in previous releases of the line.
Engineers have worked hard on the aerodynamic properties of the body, reducing the coefficient of wind resistance to 0.22 (this is the lowest in the class). As a result, fuel consumption has been reduced to 6 liters on the highway for versions with the most fuel efficient engines.
In addition, the new S-Class shows a significant improvement in aeroacoustic performance. The novelty has become even quieter than its predecessor. Manufacturers have achieved maximum vibration and acoustic comfort through thoughtful body layout and new assembly materials.
The body structure consists of 50% light aluminum alloys with an increased margin of safety. According to representatives of the concern, in the new generation only the long-shaped model will be sold, and the convertible and coupe will remain only in the current generation - they will no longer be produced in a year.
The front projection of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S features an enlarged grille, larger air intakes on the front bumper and a narrow headlight configuration.
The dynamic exterior concept is retained at the rear. Carefully thought out details make the stern expressive and stylish.
With its short front overhang, long wheelbase and balanced rear overhang, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class meets the requirements of a classic sedan with intelligent body proportions. The extended wheel axle configuration and original rim design lend the exterior a muscular and elegant look.
The list of basic options includes premium optics Digital Light, which provides full illumination of the surrounding space with the ability to change the shape of the light flux and alert the driver about moving and stationary obstacles. According to representatives of the automaker, each headlight contains 1.3 million individual small electronically controlled mirrors. These innovations allow you to create your own 1-pixel LED light beam.
At the buyer's choice - two modifications of door handles:
- standard;
- integrated into the doors.
Pull-out door handles are available as an option. They are automatically activated upon touching the surface.
Salon Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2021
The interior design of the novelty corresponds to its representative class. The digital instrument cluster and multimedia display support different display configurations. They can be personalized with 4 display styles (sporty, discreet, exclusive and classic) as well as three operating modes (help, service, navigation).
In Discreet mode, the instrument cluster has 7 color schemes and 64 interior lighting schemes. Sport mode features a predominantly red color with dynamic visual tachometer visual guidance.
The Exclusive tuning with a pearlescent design has been developed for the S-Class only. In low light conditions, it automatically dims the brightness to reduce eye strain and increase driver alertness.
Help mode allows you to display the most important information about the infrastructure and other road users.
In addition to a large monitor on the center console, auxiliary displays on the backs of the front seats are provided for second-row riders. The new 77-inch dashboard draws particular attention. It consists of 3 separate sections hidden under solid glass. In addition, the dashboard is able to create a 3D projection that does not require the use of special glasses for perception.
As an interesting option, there is a projection panel that supports AR adaptive reality. The tool will become an indispensable tool when working with a navigation complex or other standard systems.
The engineers of the German concern have improved the technology of voice control. The range of available languages has expanded to 27, while the driver does not have to choose a language for control - the system will do it automatically. Inside the salon there are several microphones for individual use of the interactive complex.
The perimeter of the cabin is decorated with LED lighting. It functions in conjunction with active safety devices and assistant assistants. With a potential hazard, the backlight color changes, and it begins to flicker, forcing the motorist to be more attentive to the road situation.
By using durable aluminum in the body structure, the engineers have been able to improve the safety of the driver and passengers in a head-on collision. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S is the first production car to feature full-fledged rear seat cushions, shaped like fenders. This feature increases the individual safety of passengers.
Seating in the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S is the epitome of luxury and comfort. The smooth, textured design creates a light and ergonomic effect, while additional design accents give the seats an authentic feel. Among them is the unusual diamond pattern in Nappa and Nappa Exclusive leather.
The new S-class armchairs support several massage programs. They are vibration-based using hot stone heating technology. For this, special inflatable air chambers are provided in the active multicontour seats.
In the Executive Line, there are several modifications of the second row of seats, allowing you to adjust their configuration to suit your needs. The interior flooring is made from revolutionary recycled yarn produced under the brand name Econyl and is composed of recyclable nylon. The feedstock is produced by recovering nylon waste, which is sent for recycling. Among them are old fishing nets, remnants of fabrics from factories and carpets.Recyclability of materials helps to reduce CO2 emissions for production and maintain raw material turnover.
