The Mercedes S-Class promotes the three pointed star in its most luxurious form. Every toy under the sun, plentiful power and pure German efficiency throughout. This next generation S-Class is very important for the company as it will also replace the now extinguished Maybach brand. So enough speculation, it is time to lay some cards on the table. What have you got Mercedes?

The all Mercedes-Benz S-Class has alway been a force to be reckoned with in terms of technology, this 2014 model is no different. Equipped with massaging seats, surround sound, night vision, adaptive cruise control and even something called an atomiser that gets rid of unwanted smells. Stylistically it is more of an evolution than revolution, but details lifted from the new E-Class prove to suit its bigger brother. Engines include a 254BHP V6 and 2.1 litre 228BHP four cylinder hybrid, both diesel. On the petrol front there is a 4.7 litre V8 with 450BHP.

S63 and S65 AMG models are to be revealed later this year.
