Is the 2023 Mercedes Benz S 580 the KING of full size luxury sedans?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Mercedes S-class has be always been a leader in the full size luxury sedan segment. On the outside you will find very clean styling and China Blue. On the inside you will be greeted to the highest levels of materials, technology, fit & finish. Under the hood is a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Mercedes Benz S 580 the KING of full size luxury sedans?

Mercedes are cash furnaces. I know plenty of people who could afford them but they steer clear. One of my close friends had a C43 AMG and he swore after 7 years of ownership he'd never buy another Mercedes again. The car was in the shop at least 5x a year after 4 years of ownership.

@@dimmacommunication I don’t think any Bentley looks like a drug kingpin’s car, and I’ve inspected and been inside every modern Bentley. The S-Class is great for a few years, until all those crazy infotainment screens won’t even be able to handle the ever-increasing memory requirements of new OS updates. Built-in obsolescence right there. Nothing dates an interior faster than technology. Furthermore, that crazy ambient lighting is going to reflect off of all of your interior window surfaces making it more of a distraction than anything.

@Sawbuck
9 ай бұрын
Agreed. The only place I think they dropped the ball was using the cluster screen from the lower-end models. It just looks cheap without a nice S Class-level surround. (Lexus really blew it here too with their miniscule LS screen.) I would have cut costs elsewhere. While the extra paint and upholstery colors are pretty cool (I think they are chasing Porsch, Jag, Bentley, etc. here), I would recommend classing the cluster screen area up on the refresh.

It seems like this generation of S class is going to be geared more towards the younger generation with all the digital screens and no buttons. I love it as a millennial. The only reason i chose the c class over the s class of last generation was because it looked like an old persons car inside. This one looks so modern and exciting. Thats just my opinion as a millennial getting into the brand coming from a bmw

@@ryanray6215 I totally agree! That ambient lighting is way overdone! In my Audi there is a lip over the ambient lighting which blocks being able to view it directly, it shines downwards on intended areas. With that ambient lighting, illuminating in every direction, you’re going to get distracting reflections off of windows, particularly if you tint the windows as window film reflects everything. To me, there is absolutely nothing that dates an interior faster than high tech. In five years, those same screens won’t even be able to accommodate the ever-increasing memory requirements of the various requisite Operating System updates that will happen between now and then. That’s built-in obsolescence right there. Quite aside from that, I am absolutely amazed the NTSB hasn’t yet stepped in and began regulating infotainment systems as these days, infotainment screens are more distracting than navigating cell phone screens while driving. Granted, I’ve only seen a few of this guy’s videos, but I also criticize this reviewer for one thing - how come he never anything bad to say about this car or anything else?!? Come on! You can always find several things about ANY car that you don’t like, that society at large won’t like, and is something that the car makers need to take care of for their next model evolution. Giving constructive criticism on any product is exactly what manufacturers need to hear in order to make better products. No more “rosy reviews”, tell it exactly how it is!
