This delay may be a source of concern for long-waited customers, but it will give Mercedes-Benz more time to improve their top luxury sedan.
Since the S-Class is just an upgraded version, it will use the same platform and be sold with similar transmission system options. Recent S-Class prototypes have been redesigned with daytime headlights with the new signature 3-star image of Mercedes.
These changes have appeared on the CLA Concept since 2023 and are likely to appear on other Mercedes models as well. Adding to the new headlight cluster will be a reshaped front bumper, with a design similar to the S63 model with new air intakes. According to the company, there are no major changes along both sides of the S-Class because replacing the body lining such as the side lining and the door lining will be very expensive.
The cabin includes a redesigned dashboard with a Hyperscreen screen similar to the screen in the all-electric EQS model. Although Mercedes has not yet confirmed specific software updates, according to information from the company, the system will combine all the latest improvements.
Most of the new model's powertrains are kept intact, including a 413 lb-ft (559 Nm) torque with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing up to 496 horsepower.
According to the company, in addition to the S-Class model, the main model S63 E Performance will receive the same improvement as the remaining models but with a capacity of up to 791 horsepower and 1,055 lb-ft of torque.
