My suggestions for improvements for the facelift: Improve the quality feeling of the interior. Doorcards should include some wood and less of that black plastic slab where the seat buttons are. The instrument cluster display should have much smaller bezels and perhaps be smaller or better integrated. The ambient lighting isn't as classy and elegant as in the A8. Small details like the cheap tablet in the back is also better in the A8. The Audi A8 has a better interior quality feel.

Man! I feel that the S-Class is the one car everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime...The 'night drive' was absolutely amazing; more please.

Love the night drive scenes Thomas, Keep it up! My only recommendation to the Mercedes engineers is that they need to give the ICE S-Class the hyper screen option at the very least on the Maybach model. Other cars for night time drive... wouldn't it be nice to see the Rolls Royce Phantom and the new Flying Spur. Just a quick question you have mentioned many time just how quite the S-Class is so my question is which is more silent the EQS or the S-Class or the Maybach is the quietest of the bunch?

So the S-Class brings out the inner nerd in Thomas😉

of course Thomas back again with another top review as always! fun fact: this is actually the first new S-Class since 2005! because the W222 was legally just a different version of the W221 because it was a complete carry-over. just too bad you couldn't test the E-Active Body Control suspension

The Luxurious Wood panelling just makes the interior. It's superb! I wish you got this for the base model you reviewed last Year

We have a very popular old sclass coupe review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWFmo7Svd8iniMY.html

A couple of things I noticed, maybe I'm wrong - 1. The exterior design has become more sleek, minimal curves and heavy looking body panels. The Grill is too big vertically, could be made shorter keeping the width same. The tail lights look droopy and saggy. Overall the design looks more Chinese than European. That would've helped to achieve 0.22 cd drag co-efficient. 2. The interior also seams to have a fusion of American and Chinese design. The air vents, the screen, funny steering wheel, everything glossy and capacitive, even the seat controls. I don't think it will age well like the prev. models. But the seat comfort and design is better than ever, and so is the drive and tech in the car. 3. The electric mechanism for door opening is not as pos=lished as expected from MB. The suspension should have a lift feature as well for occasional speed bumps, other wise the suspension is close to RR. P.S - Nice video Thomas, as always. Detailed and not boring.

Thomas, we get it, it has ambient light feature. U spent nearly 1/3rd of time on it. Btw it’s not ideal feature for safety because ambient lights reflections on the windscreen reduces the long distance visibility. Grüßen, PP

Great comprehensive video, guys! The point about DRLs you brought up is a good one, and it might seem minor to a lot of people but the CLS already looks like the CLA which looks like the A class from the front. Despite their larger proportions every new generation, the presence these cars have when you see them in your mirrors is getting weaker and weaker. I get that the C class buyer will feel really happy that their 'smaller' car looks like an S class now, but the buyer of the S class might mind that their S looks like a C. One, two or three dots in the headlights is not going to be enough of a distinguishing factor when people see them in their mirrors, and I feel like Mercedes cars look too alike for their own good. I saw the new S in a local showroom, and while it is technologically way more advanced than before, I'm not sure it is as 'premium' of a product anymore. Granted, many of the S class owners don't care about the details because they just want the latest and greatest, but this ethos is going to trickle down to the lower models. The C class, which is supposed to be way more driver-oriented than the S, has the same screens and along with those come the same issues like unnecessary barriers when you just want to adjust the AC. A huge part of the fun of driving is being in control of the vehicle, and these adjustments, small as Mercedes would make them seem, are taking away from the driving experience.

I agree. They went over the top on the screens and the tech and underachieved on the premium appeal on the exterior. I even think the flat screens in the centre and behind the wheel look tacky. Like driving a discotheque. It's such a handful and visual destraction that I think even with all its safety features, it becomes unsafe to drive. I think this configuration of ambient lights with the radiation light of the screens would actually stress my eyes at night in stead of soothing me. Maybe as a passenger it would be a more enjoyable experience but as a driver you need your eyes on the road not on the screens.

my father just bought the s500 2022 but doesn't have the rear screen , is it possible to add one ?

47:09 The digital line that follows behind the car in front is for when the visibility is severely reduced. For example when you are driving fast in heavy rain, there will be a lot of water splashing up from the cars in front and you may not see them so well. Especially if there is a combination of bad weather: Heavy snow, thick fog, dark etc.

Those exhaust tips are fine. They're actually better. It looks cleaner and the exhaust actually comes out there. When it isn't good is when the exhaust comes out below and those ovals are closed. It looks terrible when steam comes out from the bottom but should instead come out of those ovals. So these aren't really fake in my opinion.

But do you need to gover all the interior lighting effects at night. Not a fan of the big screen too or glass roofs... ;-(

One suggestion, when you measure the headroom, rest your head on the head rest and then measure the roof height from the crown area of your head. Because, in case of a bump or small jump in the road the head can smash into the roof breaking your neck. Also try and check if you can drink water from a half filled water bottle in the back seat to check the practicality.😅

Resemblance to lesser Mercedes models is not ideal. Pale interior and wood is nice except for the pianoo black dash option is not ideal. Night driving sequence was very informative. Lots of MBUX features but I did not see a total blackout option (excluding speedo) as in Saab. I wonder if so many big screen tricks are actually a dangerous distraction. Key function options should appear in the HUD to keep drivers eyes on the road?

One question I have to you, Thomas: How big is the difference in ride quality and handling between SUVs and their equivalent sedans? Like: How big is the difference between a GLE and an e-class or a GLS and an S-class?

@autogefuehl

Hey, I want to see parked cars on the side of the road, they might pull out as I approach. In Thailand many drivers do not turn on their lights at night. Confusion due to bright street lights perhaps, drunk and forgetful is possible, saving their car battery perhaps, No, our taxi driver said he did not turn his lights on because they may shine into the eyes of oncoming cars. These cars are sold internationally. Lights are there to illuminate the road and traffic. A case of clever headlight technology outsmarting the intended purpose of improving visibility and therefore safety. The argument against automation is that humans can think when new unpredicted problems occur. Computers aiding drivers is great, but computers blinding and preventing drivers from exercising control is dangerous.

That blue actually reminds me of the blacklights of the '70's. That would put me to sleep . . without smoking anything "funny".

@@autogefuehl That's sad since the prices have increased not decreased. The W203 C Class was the best for build quality and feeling of solidity. Even in the small details. I wish they can go back to that solid feeling.

Great design - inside and out. I love the flowing lines and the quality materials. This car is much more beautiful than the EQS in my eyes. Only the ergonomics and the lack of haptic controls are irritating. What is going wrong at the moment? A step backwards is not quite the right answer. It's as if the car was built for the catalogue without thinking about the future users. The S-Class doesn't match my usage profile, so if the next E-Class delivers the same cheap ergonomics, I'll give up the great design and safe feeling of my Mercedes. Audi is apparently one step ahead and has hopefully learned from its digital massacre in the A6. I'm curious and still supplied in the next 2-3 years.
