The most comprehensive New S-Class review on YouTube! I’m in Hamburg for the S Class Press Test Drive! And today we’re driving every major version of the new facelifted 2027 #MercedesBenz #SClass, from the diesel-powered S450d, the S500 in line 6, the plug-in hybrid S580e, all the way to the brand-new updated flat-plane crank V8 S580!
For 140 years, Mercedes Benz has built its reputation around innovation, engineering and luxury — and no model has carried that responsibility more than the S-Class. Now, Mercedes claims this facelifted W223 represents a “welcome home” moment. A return to diverse combustion engines, major drivetrain revisions, overhauled technology, and one of the broadest luxury saloon line-ups in the world.
