Why buy an Approved Used Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
A benchmark in the world of luxury saloons, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class embodies class, elegance, and cutting-edge technology. Often used by the brand to debut its latest innovations, the S-Class is ideal for those seeking the newest advancements in automotive design.
Designed to feel like a luxury lounge, the S-Class features a minimalist aesthetic and is crafted with premium materials, including high-grade leather, wood veneer, and aluminium detailing. The front seats are both heated and ventilated, and the cabin can be configured with up to four climate zones for personalised comfort.
Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the S-Class features a 12.8-inch infotainment system that can be controlled via voice commands. The MBUX system recognises both the driver and passengers by voice, enabling a highly personalised experience. A head-up display with augmented reality projects navigation directions directly onto the road too, appearing to float above intersections for enhanced clarity and convenience.
With a choice of combustion powered engines, mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, the S-Class offers an array of performances for every lifestyle. Power sits between 286bhp and 603bhp, resulting in an acceleration time of 0 to 62mph between 3.3 and 6.4 seconds, depending on exact specifications.
As flagship of the Mercedes-Benz range, a used S-Class will be more expensive to maintain than cheaper alternatives but it is not unreasonable for a car of this nature. Specialist servicing can be carried out by your nearest Stratstone Mercedes-Benz retailer.
There are a number of fantastic used S-Class models available from throughout the years. Those after the latest technology and unrivalled luxury will definitely favour a seventh generation model (starting from 2020). Alternatively, sixth generation models (2013-2020) are a great choice, offering a high level of luxury for a more affordable price.
The S-Class is highly sought after thanks to its extensive offering of luxurious, high-quality features. It is loaded with tech, super comfortable and very reliable, making it an ideal choice for both family life and business use. Its style allows it to make a statement, too.
Much like most cars, a used S-Class will depreciate in value with age and usage. The quickest depreciation will typically occur within the first three years, making a used S-Class a very cost-effective buy for those looking for the greatest value.
