People all over the world can immediately recognize the S-Class, its elegant design is always an expression of luxury and automotive greatness of its era. In this car, Mercedes has always sought to combine progressive design with classic elegance that dates back to the origins of the 1930s. It's a legacy more evident than ever in this sixth-generation model with its classic architecture and flowing silhouette, an appearance that may be a little more restrained than before, but also a little more refined with its long hood, smooth domed roof line and smoothly sloping rear.

You can't argue with the quality of the interior. Metallized switch surfaces finished with mother-of-pearl lacquer in three shades of color, decorative speaker grilles, grooved controls for characteristic eyeball-shaped metal vents and excellent attention to detail characterize the interior, finished with shiny oily leather, with seats that are even equipped with heated armrests. We're not sure about the two-spoke steering wheel with nappa leather trim and its old-fashioned Mercedes-Benz badge lettering, but the analog clock on the dashboard is lovely and at night you'll enjoy ambient lighting with a choice of seven different tuning colors.
