In sedan versions, the rear seat features a limousine-like ambiance with the optional Executive Rear Seat package, which brings folding tables and upgraded back-seat appointments -- including a backrest angle that's adjustable up to A Plus version of that package even brings an aircraft-style seat with Peltier technology that can keep drinks cool or warm. There's a hot-stone-inspired energizing massage function, with six massage programs, including two that provide warming, and the active seat ventilation system now uses reverse fans to help reduce drafts.
Other noteworthy options for interior comfort include the Air Balance Package, which brings ionized air purification and has an active air-perfuming feature. In addition to regular S-Class equipment, the S65 AMG gets a Napa leather roof liner, leather-lined dash and door panels, extra wood trim and AMG door sill panels with white illumination. The gauge cluster is AMG-specific, with additional round-dial gauges for engine and transmission oil temp. Personalization options on the AMG models include a carbon fiber package, a wood and Napa leather-wrapped steering wheel, the ceramic-brake upgrade, red brake calipers and special carbon fiber and black piano lacquer trim.
Safety takes center stage in the S-Class, once again. There's also Night View Assist Plus, a feature that continues to be refined, and uses infrared and camera information to detect animals and people along the road ahead. Imagine the pressure of making a new Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The Mercedes-Benz S is damn near the perfect luxury car, although styling is subjective, and I'll be the first to admit that the latest iteration of Mercedes's design language isn't my favorite. My sole complaint is that the rear end is Eeyore-tier droopy, with a chrome unibrow spanning the width of the trunk, which is my absolute least favorite 21st-century flourish.
The rest of the S's exterior is all about class. The inch AMG alloy wheels have a pretty trad-luxe look to them, too. This car doesn't need crazy angles or cut lines to make a statement -- it's just a big, fancy sedan, carving its way through traffic with a properly old-school hood ornament leading the charge. This ecologically friendly schlepper foreshadows what future vans will look like and how they'll be built.
Mercedes is reinventing its fabled roadster for its seventh generation. If you missed the SL's digital unveiling, you can relive it right here. It accelerates from zero to sixty in 5. It has some of the most advanced safety technologies on earth and is one of the most lavish and classy displays anywhere of wealth and exclusivity. It was last redesigned for All rights reserved.
