The new OLED-like screen measures 12.8 inches, the screen replacing the instrument cluster is 12.3 inches, and the new S-Class can also be fitted with screens for the rear passengers, thus increasing the number of five screens.
The display size of the Head-Up Display with Augmented Reality matches that of a 77-inch diagonal screen. The computer capacity of the interface of the second generation MBUX telematics system is increased by 50%.
The new S-Class is equipped with an airbag integrated into the driver's seatback to more effectively protect rear passengers from a frontal collision. The volume of this deployed cushion is 70 liters, and it is equipped with an inflatable tubular structure making 16 liters in volume.
The S-Class lifts eight centimeters in a few tenths of a second, when the sensors detect that the large luxury sedan will be struck from the side, in order to present the chassis spar, which is stronger than the door, as the point of contact. In addition, the plug-in hybrid version of the S-Class will have a range of 100 kilometers in electric mode.
Mercedes-Benz will offer the S-Class in two configurations, the S 500 regular wheelbase and the S 580 long wheelbase. The S 500 will be powered by the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine tentatively rated at 429 horsepower, plus 21 with EQ Boost, while torque is reportedly 383 lb-ft.
The S 580 uses the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 whose power is tentatively set at 496 horsepower, plus 20 with EQ Boost, and torque at 516 lb-ft. In both cases, the box is a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive will certainly be part of the equipment. Pricing for these two variants will not be established until shortly before launch in our market.
