The S-Class leads the way<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As Mercedes-Benz\u2019s flagship, the S-Class has long set the standard for luxury sedans. It doubles as both a rolling proclamation of success and a showcase for Mercedes\u2019 latest tech. The company puts all their newest features and choicest materials into the S-Class, and paired with a fantastic powertrain and wafty ride, it\u2019s very possibly the finest executive limo on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new generation of the S-Class launched last year, boasting an even richer interior, a more relaxing ride, and more futuristic safety features and tech. Though it may not look especially conspicuous on the outside, the level of luxury in Miguel\u2019s 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is unquestionably impressive and special. Say hello to our first car of the month<\/a> in 2022!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have sit-in-the-back type of money, your choices for a top-level limo are essentially between Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or this. The 2022 S-Class starts around $112,000, which is a privileged price bracket, but that\u2019s far less than what you\u2019ll pay for a car from those competitors. Besides the comparatively lower price, what the S-Class has that a Roller doesn\u2019t is restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design appears lavish and sleek to be sure, with sharp modern lines that do a solid job of hiding the S-Class\u2019 immense size. But to the untrained eye it might just look like a Mercedes sedan, which could be very desirable for people who want a superlative vehicle without the constant attention that something more exotic would attract. Miguel’s car is finished in Lunar Blue Metallic, further underscoring the classy-yet-subdued vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The understated exterior leaves all the shine to be directed towards the interior, which is where the real magic lies with the S-Class. This is a tremendously high-class cabin, with acres of beautiful leather, wood panels, and all the big screens you expect in an ultra-luxury vehicle today. Ambient lighting strips emit a pleasing glow throughout the car, and can be set to various colors, patterns, and even themed moods with names like \u201cMiami Rose\u201d and \u201cMalibu Sunset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many regard the newest Mercedes<\/a> infotainment system as the most advanced and polished on the market, and this is the latest and greatest. One of the S-Class\u2019 fun tricks is in the voice command feature. Of course you can speak your demands to the S-Class and it will obey by lowering the radio\u2019s volume, turning on the defroster, etc. \u2014 this is no longer novel with luxury cars. In the S-Class, though, you can select which<\/em> passengers the car takes commands from, to prevent your kids or that one annoying friend from controlling the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The S-Class cabin also emits fragrances. That\u2019s right, you can buy fragrance packs of your choosing from Mercedes-Benz dealerships, plug them inside the glove box, and your S-Class will release Mercedes-branded aromas through your climate control vents. That\u2019s luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miguel’s car is the S 500, which has a turbocharged and supercharged six-cylinder engine that makes 429 horsepower. If you prefer a V8, the S 580 pumps out 500 horses. Either engine option is plenty potent to whisk you easily down the street, but the pillowy ride quality is the crucial element of the S-Class\u2019 driving experience. Short of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, this is about the softest, quietest, and most comfortable ride you can find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, sitting inside the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a wonderful place to be. The interior quality is positively sublime, with the car effortlessly catering to the driver\u2019s and passengers\u2019 every whim. If you want to experience a car that offers truly state-of-the-art luxury, this is it.<\/p>\n\n\n
