Generation-change at the pinnacle of automotive engineering: Mercedes-Benz presents the new S-Class. The new luxury saloon will be appearing in the showrooms of company-owned outlets and authorised dealerships as of autumn 2005.

As in the preceding series, the new S-Class will introduce technical innovations which make the flagship Mercedes model an example for others to follow. Pioneering safety features and exemplary comfort continue to be the outstanding attributes of the S-Class. The new saloon also sets standards in driving dynamics with its agile handling, while offering even more driving pleasure with new, more powerful engines. The new S-Class is replacing a model series which is the world No. 1 in the luxury class, and of which around 485,000 have been produced since 1998.

For more than five decades, the letter "S" in the model designation of Mercedes cars has signified a special aura, intelligent technology and the highest quality. The new S-Class not only continues this tradition, but lends a new meaning to it. It is a technological pacemaker with its pioneering innovations for more safety, comfort and practicality, and like its predecessors it will influence the automotive development of the future. The saloon exudes this poise and assurance even at first glance. Its design emphasises the confident, powerful and elegant character of the new S-Class, which makes every journey an experience.

Achieving even more technological highlights was a challenge for the engineers in Stuttgart and Sindelfingen, for the bar was set very high: the previous S-Class, which had been repeatedly voted the "Best Car in the World" since its presentation in 1998, was a hard act to follow. The progress Mercedes-Benz has made with the new saloon is based on this already high level. A dozen technical innovations are entering series production for the first time on board the new S-Class – from Brake Assist PLUS with radar sensors to seats with an extended massage function, from the night view assist system with the latest infra-red technology to the new COMAND system, and from preventive PRE-SAFE® occupant protection with additional functions to Parking Assist.

Yeh, the moon roof, they started with the E Class, & I guess they will apply it more often!

I like the older model more, its got more character...the back is ugly on this, and the front lights are too choppy.

Nice hubcaps though on the silver one :D the red ones kind of ugly, the hubcaps


looking at the back again, i cant help but be reminded of the BMW 7 series...which isnt good, mercedes should be original...

NiGhTFaCe I'd like to thank you so much for sharing these wonderful pictures of the all new S-Class :)

I actually like it very much. I think they have done a good job on the new look. I admire the moon-roof, and as NF mentioned it was first applied to the E-Class and it seems like it'll be applied more often to several models :)

Keep them coming! :)

(BTW any pics of the AMG models by any chance? :think: )

These are the 1st images coming out, though they didnt even mention any technical specifications.

I am sure the AMG version will be coming later!


Most welcome Arabian Prince ;)

Well the new S looks nice but the interior is a copy from BMW !! even the I-drive key, gear shifter...this is a shame !!....other than this its great!...7 speed gear box, new engines....and many safety features.

32K 4 the S350 & 35K 4 the S350L

Thats a lot of money, when the previous one 'Bu Dam3a' was launched the price hike compaired to the 'Shabah' was marginal, I dont know what r the Germans trying to do...Zey Sink We Have Vells In Our Backyards.

Look at the LR3, at the moment its about 18K, the previous model 'Discovery' was 10K max.

Give it sometime to settle down & the prices will go back to normal...

Regarding the cars shape, it will take only a few looks & everyone will like it, once they r out on the road they will be loved, especially once the AMG kit is launched

This car can detect when the car is approching an accident & does the neccessary action to avoid injury to the passengers & driver....Smart

Da Man, for every new car the price will high at the 1st time released. But, it wont drop that much in this case, where the price of the European cars have been going higher lately & all that because of the Euro is up!
