There was a time when the S-Class was the pinnacle of the Benz range and from it everything percolated down to the lower models. Now it seems this has been reversed, with the S-Class having controls from the E-Class and even engines first seen in the C-Class.

I struggled trying to make up my mind which I liked better the XJ or the S-Class and though the new XJ is really really fantastic looking, a luxury limo should have a superlative interior and the XJ doesn't have a peep on the S-class in that department. It's almost like Jaguar did a fantastic job designing a new car on the outside and left the inside as an afterthought. For me that keeps the S-class top of the class.

In April 2022 I test drove a 2019 Mercedes best 560 and I’m sorry to say that I felt every bump crack and other imperfection on the road. I don’t know what is the hype about its great suspension. It honestly did not feel any different from my existing 2018 Toyota Camry, in terms of the smoothness of the ride on those road imperfections.

Have always loved the S-Class, but the revised model nomenclature is becoming increasingly confusing. Here, in our market, the 3 liter straight six with 48v architecture is called the S450, and the new V8 with 48v architecture is called the S560. Having said that the most confusing are the model designations for Audi like 50Tdi dan 55Tsi. Great review, Mate!
