2027 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The redesigned S-Class has undergone a significant evolution for 2027. Changes include a fresh look, updated engines, a new computer that’s capable of over-the-air updates, an AI-powered voice assistant, an updated infotainment system with a massive screen, optional heated front seat belts, the chance to personalize interior and exterior colors, and a first-class rear seat experience. A 442-hp turbocharged inline-six cylinder engine is standard, but buyers can opt for a 576-hp inline-six cylinder plug-in hybrid setup or a 530-hp turbocharged V8. Every S-Class gets a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Air suspension is standard, while an active suspension is optional. Although most features are controlled through a 14.4-inch central display and a 12.3-inch passenger Superscreen display, there are physical controls for some common tasks.

Brand context
About Mercedes-Benz
<p>Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is typically a lofty base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Some two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs.</p>
