Great car, this S Class. Nevertheless I think it's let down by that anonymous dashboard. The one in the W222 was awesome! Very good video!

Thanks for the video and I loved Bach's Cello Suite playing in the background for the quieter sections. These are both out of my price range right now but doing my research for a potential purchase in a few years time when pre owned prices are more palatable for my wallet . Both lovely cars with the S580e tempting me most

Gawd damn. Your reviews, personal touch and presence really has hit a sweet spot as of recent. Another nice review. I take your word as gospel.

Nicely done, PS, lovely dressing gown. We all have those days when the alarm clock does not go off. :)

It's a beautiful car, but I really don't like the 'tacked on' look of the digital speedometer cluster. I know it's probably just me because I'm old, but I like recessed analogue instruments, and it just looks a bit 'meh'. But a lovely car, great review. I'd go for the diesel, I think.

Actually, the best S-class is the previous generation S-class (2014-2020). Why? Because it has the exact comfort of the new S-class while maintaining a unique look. The new S class looks like every other car in the Mercedes line up. If i want a symbol of success i want something unique.

Thank you for this excellent review. 👍

There’s a watch that is more expensive than both the two cars combined, incredible.

Like the cars, dislike the pricing Mercedes seem to think we drivers can afford for luxury, where as most of us can not. Cheers Vicky.

Wouldn't the S580e have the full ABC suspension system whereas the S350d would have just non active airmatic suspension unless Mercedes are being more generous with the full active suspension across the model variants these days but she did say the S580e is more comfortable and this could be why

I'm a bit confused about the RRP and price difference, having replayed the first segment again. The high trim 350d L gets to £105k where the 580e starts from ... ? Anyway (besides looking it up), I love Vicki's presentation / delivery. Two things I wonder: Is that 350d steering wheel THAT thickly rimmed. It seems enormous. I have small hands as 62yo ex HNW chauffeur - I broke my left wrist in July that never fully recovered flexion and can now drive a Cayenne part - time for a family but find their E300 coupe difficult as the wheel has a deeper rim on the sides. The other thing and I may have missed it but how is the brake feel on the hybrid. I hope it's not hampered like many PHEV'd. I won't be driving one again I suspect. Good video. Thank you.

I so much enjoyed your outcome of these twin test. Many car guys and girls seem to follow a narrative that diesel is out and EV and PHEV is The Future. 🤔 I think they're wrong. You apparently too. ❤️🔥✨😘

It’s a shame they don’t offer the rear steering in Uk

If I was rich enough to buy one the mpg wouldn't be top of my list I would go whatever feels best or at least the most powerful diesel

Great Review Vicky - I am looking to buy the 580e for personal use which is largely going for weekend occasional long drives or trips to Central London. UK is not getting the versions and options some of the other countries are getting including the rear wheel steering. How did you find the turning circle for the S class (says 12.5 meters on website) but I wonder how it feels like? Thank you so much !

A shame, cause MB Aust have dropped just about every diesel variant from our market apart from 2 oilers In the GLE & the G 400d Wagon . A handful of E400d All Terrain wagons are on sale here that were excess stock for Australian police use. This variant was never sold In Australia, only the E200d All Terrain was sold as part of the E Class lineup here. The E400d AT's currently on the market have been modified by MB Australia to meet local compliance .

😍Big Question, is the S580e coming to North America?😍

2022 Genesis G90 vs 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-class comparison, please. 🤔

Seat adjustment on the door?!?! Is it just me or does it look a little similar to the door handle?

nice

The limited cargo space in the PHEV version is pretty sad!

Unless you have a chauffeur, who like to drive such a limo in uk city ! Wonderful for long distance trips, so a diesel is a better choice!

8:50 Yikes look at that humongous pot hole!

BMW in-line engine is still the best diesel. Am surprised you did not have 1 them with the Hyper screen .

19p per kwh. this video didnt age well…

I have the PHEV on order and the majority of my, very low, mileage will be done on electric what concerns me is that will the petrol deteriorate and damage the engine?

Great video love

Lovely car’s 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👍

wow

Yes, give me diesel

To be honest the interior looks kinda outdated now compared to the eqs interior with the hyper screen

A chauffeur car should have a crappy cockpit. You're paying for a lower status minion to live a life of luxury. No! Early 90s 306 for your slave.

What is this fascination with diamond quilted seats/trim in so called luxury cars these days? the height of tacky! and all that lighting in the S-Class makes it look like a 90's night club, and to think Mercedes use to churn out understated vehicles of class and now they make stuff like this :-(

I will take the s class please

Hello love it's a Rick person's car

Who cares about their fuel economy if they have purchased a £100,000 plus vehicle ?

Lucky girl🙂!!!

Distance highway driving, diesel wins.

Plug-in cars are so shlt,for example this one has 5.18m and a smaller trunk space than a Golf

DIESEL❤️

2 great 🚗 🚘 and 1 very well dressed 👗 👌 lady...what's not to like?💖

Very good review - until you show your driving. YT car presenter syndrome in spades: hands off the wheel to wave about, looking at the camera, faint hold on steering wheel... When will someone demonstrate skills to match the quality of the S-Class?

Nice sweater. 😌🥹
