2025 Mercedes-Benz S500 S-Class Luxury Sedan: Redefining Elegance and Performance

2025 Mercedes-Benz S500 S-Class Luxury Sedan: Redefining Elegance and Performance

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Mercedes offers the S-class sedan with either a 429-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine in the S500 or a 496-hp twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 in 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. 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.

0-60-MPH Times
At our test track, the six-cylinder S500 hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, the plug-in-hybrid S580e did it in 4.2, and the V-8–powered S580 managed a 3.9-second time.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The EPA estimates the S580e's electric range should be 46 miles, giving it a lengthy head start before its inline-six engine awakens. However, during our range test, it managed 58 miles. A 9.6-kW onboard charger is standard and is good enough for charging the 22.7-kWh battery at home, but if you're hoping to quickly juice the battery on a public charger, you should order the optional 60-kW DC charger.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The six-cylinder S500 is rated at 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. Stepping up to the V-8-powered S580 drops those estimates to 18 mpg city and 27 highway. However, we tested the latter on our 75-mph fuel-economy route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and it achieved 32 mpg on the highway beating its EPA estimate by 5 mpg. Meanwhile, the S580e plug-in hybrid managed 36 mpg in that same test, after its battery was depleted. For more information about the S-class's fuel economy,

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, the S-class prioritizes screens. Lots of them. The sedan is available with up to five, including a giant center touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. The latter works in concert with other technology to create a three-dimensional effect, but—thankfully—it can be turned off if you'd prefer the screens to have a conventional appearance. There's also an enhanced head-up display that will show navigation directions in augmented reality. Arrows move and turn in real-time to supposedly better assist the driver. The build quality and cabin materials live up to Mercedes' upscale standards, and the sedan provides limousine-like accommodations for all passengers, specifically those riding in the back. The new model's rear-seat area offers slightly increased headroom and legroom, and it can also be equipped with power-adjustable reclining seats that have massage functions and extensive heating elements. Along with being physically coddled, those in the back should be mentally entertained by the optional rear-seat entertainment system that adds two 11.6-inch screens on the front seatbacks as well as the interactive LED interior lighting.
