Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Without question, if we close our eyes and envision the quintessential luxury sedan, it\u2019s the Mercedes-Benz S-class that comes to mind. Not only has it been the brand\u2019s flagship for decades, but it has continuously delivered cutting-edge tech and first-class comfort. Whether relaxing in the Sonderklasse’s roomy rear seat or guiding the tastefully styled land yacht down the street, passengers are treated to a leather-lined interior with many large screens\u2014and too many touch controls. Despite some overly complicated features, the S-class packs a trio of unique all-wheel-drive powertrains. The S500 has a silken 429-hp turbocharged straight-six, and the S580 has a hearty twin-turbo V-8 with 496 horses. The S580e plug-in hybrid pairs the turbo six with an electric motor. While the V\u20138\u2013powered S580 is slightly quicker, it can\u2019t match the PHEV\u2019s fuel economy, including a notable 58 miles of electric-only highway range<\/a>. Regardless of what\u2019s under the hood, every 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-class handles well and rides even better. Sure, other luxury sedans like the\u00a0BMW 7-series<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Genesis G90<\/a>\u00a0have similar traits, but neither can match the Mercedes\u2019s long-standing magic. You’ll find all three cars on our\u00a02024 Editors’ Choice list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s New for 2024?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There aren\u2019t any significant changes to the S-class lineup for the 2024 model year. Those looking for an even mightier, performance-focused model can check out the\u00a0AMG S-class<\/a>\u00a0(reviewed separately), which relaunches this year after a two-year absence.<\/p>\n

Engine, Transmission, and Performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mercedes offers the S-class sedan with either a 429-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine on the S500 or a 496-hp twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 on the S580. Both powertrains are supplemented by a 48-volt hybrid system and pair with a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive. The S580e plug-in hybrid uses an inline-six and an electric motor to pump out 510 horsepower; all-wheel drive is standard here as well. We’ve luxuriated in the S-class sedan and put our test equipment on every model, all of which have delivered impressive acceleration. At our test track, the\u00a0six-cylinder S500<\/a>\u00a0hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, the\u00a0plug-in-hybrid S580e<\/a>\u00a0did it in 4.2, and the\u00a0V-8\u2013powered S580<\/a> managed a 3.9-second time. While every S-class rides on an air suspension, the optional E-Active Body Control has a “curve” function” that subtly leans the car into corners. The S-class can also be equipped with an all-wheel steering system that makes the big-bodied Merc surprisingly easy to maneuver in tight spaces.<\/p>\n
