Mercedes-Benz S-Class (06 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 22 March 2006 Last Updated: 07 February 2012 When it comes to luxury travel, few cars outside of the super rich Rolls Royce and Maybach arena, can match the Mercedes S-Class. The four-door saloon is the epitome of sophistication with unrivalled refinement, an interior that insulates you from the outside world and a beautifully styled cabin that blends classic and modern elements. All the engines offer strong performance but it's actually the diesel - the entry-level model - that's our pick of the range thanks to a great blend of refinement, economy and strong pulling power. Rear passengers get the best deal with acres of space and wonderfully cosseting seats while for even more room there's a long wheelbase version available. 5 out of 5 Other Mercedes-Benz reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 BMW 7-Series (08 on) Incredibly comfortable, exceptionally well built, acres of rear space, superbly refined Poor depreciation, high running costs Read full review 5 out of 5 Audi A8 Saloon (10 on) Supremely luxurious travel, impeccable refinement, spacious and cosseting cabin, superb engines including remarkably efficient 3.0 TDI Plain looks, steering feel is artificial Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Jaguar XJ Saloon (10 on) Daring and unique styling both inside and out, supremely refined, available as a long wheelbase, muscular performance, agile handling Steering lacks some feel, rear headroom could be better Read full review Find other saloon cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
