Sweet W116: We Take a Spin in the First-Gen Mercedes-Benz S-class
– On the occasion of our first drive of the revised 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-class, we also were afforded the opportunity to drive an example of the first Mercedes to use that model designation, a W116 version, and the contrast was marked. A shiny, well-sorted car from the factory’s Classic Center in Stuttgart, the W116 our […]
2018 Mercedes-Benz S-class First Drive: Greater Autonomy
– “Leave the driving to us,” the ads for Greyhound used to say. While taking the bus is about as far as one can get from traveling via Mercedes-Benz S-class, that tagline also is appropriate for the latest version of the grandiose big Benz. For 2018, the S-class sees a mid-cycle update that brings powertrain […]

Relying on the car’s lane guidance and adaptive cruise control systems, he allows our big sedan to drive itself through an unprotected intersection at around 60 mph.

First Ride: 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-class Prototype, Now More Semi-Autonomous Than Ever
– When the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-class debuted last year, it broke with tradition by its inclusion of a new-to-Mercedes suite of semi-autonomous hardware and capabilities. This was strange because, for decades, every new technology to spring from Benz’s imagination—from stability control to adaptive cruise control to night vision—has first made its debut on the flagship S-class. Now equilibrium returns, because […]
Mercedes-Benz is cooking up a refresh for the S-Class cabriolet
Even though the Mercedes-Benz S-Class coupe and cabriolet have only been around for a couple of years, it seems Mercedes is already getting facelifted versions ready for market. Our spy photographer caught this drop-top example out testing with very little camouflage. In fairness though, there isn’t much to cover up. In fact, most of the […]
