I like it, but still prefer the previous gen interior.

The Mercedes-Benz S Class : the once and future king of luxury sedan.

This channel has grown so much. Well done Sofyan, Rob and everyone involved!

“First time I’m seeing a wireless charger in the 2nd row.” Me: thinks back to the 2018 Kia K900.

06:30 This isn't a "new" luxury safety feature. Audi introduced this a couple of years ago

The interior is gorgeous.. just wish it had a regular gauge cluster instead of that tablet thing.

I can't wait to see the ambient lighting and heads up display at night on this thing!!! great review sofyan!!

Nice car the S class has always been that beauty of flagship cars and it still is

Love the interior. Not sure about the exterior though. Last Gen model, there was no question about the exterior. It oooozed luxury and sophistication and it stood out without being overbearing. Seems like they played it safe with this one.

Mercedes continues to have the best interior in the segment!!!!🔥

Been waiting for you to review this... I must say I am Here to Find Out... Well Done

This car isn't for me BUT I love how honest you are and you sprinkle your thoughts where it doesn't derail viewer's opinion during the review. And my favorite is you explain what the buyers look for in the vehicle. Not a lot of journalist review cars like that, you have a great balance.

Sofyan… I’m willing to bet that the “piano black plastic” is probably real lacquered wood my friend lol

I just love watching at things I can’t afford

Dude you're the Best!!! I love your reviews!

LOVE THE NEW OPENING!!!!!!!! BEEN WATCHING SINCE 2018

24:35 - Fun Fact: The 6th-Gen Toyota Crown Royal Saloon was the first sedan to introduce a rear-mounted refrigerator.

Damn this interior is from planet mars. Exceptional

the legend continues

If ever there was a $150,000 bargain this is it. Congratulations on being nearly [if not the] first channel to post an W223 driving review video here in America. It actually made me feel more comfortable with the changes. Instinctively you understand how the S-Class experience seduces us into a sensation of superlative wealth.

I like how sofyan always has something to complain about hate when car reviewers say only positive things

Here for the comments saying "the last generation was better" and "this looks like every other Mercedes" even though this is exactly what people said when the last generation was launched and then they learned to love it.

The interior is spectacular, absolutely gorgeous!! Enjoyed your review.

Love your reviews!

Damn Sofyan u been dropping reviews like Gucci Mane mixtapes, lol slow down I'm trying to keep up

I am slowly getting accustomed to the logic behind the design language of this car, which is quite well executed. The Engine's power and torque levels are also quite reasonable. My only gripe lies in the fact that the cockpit mimics that of the Tesla, for me detracts somewhat from the quality Daimler Benz AG should have put into this car, given the superior quality of the cockpit in the EQS, which should also been given to this car. Overall, this is such an amazingly Beautiful and Capable automobile for family men and women, who happen to be captains of industry, who do the school run with the children, in addition to also transporting elderly family members in great comfort. Nicely Balanced, and a lovely Review dealing succinctly with the initially with the initial impressions of a fine Automobile. If I had to choose between the Mercedes Benz S580 and the BMW 750Li, I would always choose the 750Li, I am a Driver at heart, and the 750Li brings me a 523 BHP V8 Engine that has a very strong power delivery throughout the rev range, and I am more at ease with the cockpit of the 7 Series than the S Class - it's really a personal preference. Nonetheless, the 2021 S - Class remains a Great Car.

Mercedes Benz it’s my favorite car 🚙 and for Sofayn I always keep watching your videos cuz it’s loud and clear simple to understand keep it up

Absolutely right about the learning curve I'm still learning something new everyday with mine even though I have had for 2 months now lol

Love it! Great video

A delightful and comprehensive review, as always. I have to say though, I'm not moved by the new S-Class design. I remember in the 80s and 90s when an S-Class had a certain imposing presence. That seems to be largely absent from recent designs. In fact, this new car looks like it's trying hard to look smaller than it actually is, but maybe the impression is different in person?

Looks are everything, and this one is incredibly understated! Giving me A class vibes...

This is a much more competent review than some other quirk/feature "reviews".

This thing is insanely nice!

The piano black trim pieces on the dash and the doors are actually lacquered wood, not something as pedestrian as plastic, haha! I believe the metallic lines in the trim are painted (don't quote me on this), but MB actually does offer trim with aluminum sandwiched between wood, labeled "Silver Aluminum/Fanned Walnut wood" (a $3,200 option).

I saw three hours ago an S63 AMG cupé it was black with dark tint windows and it had a most magnificent presence on the street surrounded by Fords Hondas and old GMs. It caught my eye because it didn’t look like a MB it looked more like a love child between a Bentley and something Italian. I had to drive up quickly before it got away and I got a glimpse of the back side batches and a bit of the right side sculpture. No MB look a like. No bigger than an E Class but taller and wider. A beauty rolling down the street.

Love the S Class but the LCI previous generation interior was far nicer. That version of MBUX was solid and there were still hard buttons for the most commonly used features. Also, I would hope MB offers different wood choices and matte finishes because that shiny plasticky looking wood will only look good for a while plus it reflects sunlight like crazy.

King of sedan!!!

Love the cleaner look and new tech😝

I've pre-ordered the Maybach s class 680, black exterior black interior fully-loaded and now I just need to wait. mind you this is a 21st birthday gift that my parents let me buy myself.

The S Class is a real Mercedes-Benz.

For some weird reason I simply cannot unsee Doc from the Cars movies portrayed in the front of this car.

Storage you can tick option (4 different central storage), cup holder you can option cooling/heating

I see where the Genesis G80 and 90 got their taillight design inspiration

About the feature that raises the suspension for a side impact, Audi introduced that on the current gen A8

I just subscribed. You earned it like few others.

That side crash feature where it raises the car on the side it detects a crash, actually isn’t “new”, it debuted on the Audi A8 first, it is new for Mercedes. Anyway, I like this car maybe a different wheel option or aftermarket option, I’d like to wait and see the AMG versions also Brabus makes their own versions which are pretty damn sweet.

WOW, what a car! I could not afford a door handle on it, but sure is nice to look at. Great review!

the four-wheel steering and the safety feature which lifts the suspension when it senses a crash on the side are features first seen on the Audi A8.

This is everything!

Love the interior 😍

Mercedes really puts their money where their mouth is every time with the new S-Class. Great work as always Soyfan 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

There are one thing that you didn't really talk about related to a safety feature, the blind spot monitor is actually work with the ambient lighting.. That was a big thing in a S class, that was the first Mercedes that had this feature.

Out of my price range, but if I was in the market I would prefer the exterior styling of an Audi. This new S Class looks too much like a budget knock off of a Mercedes.

What a ride!

Wow that interior though 👌

I never thought I would say this it looks like a genesis

This new interior with the last-gen exterior would have been the best version of this car ever.

That screen and piano gloss plastic looks extremely cheap. The entire center point of the interior is a screen, there's no flowing lines or geometry like the last generation which frankly looks better than this. You can't even tell this apart from a C class or anything else anymore, they all look the same from the outside. The S class always had the 3 distinct DRL LEDs which signified you were driving the top of the line, now it just looks like everything else.

I love my E Class. I'll upgrade to an S Class after theres a refresh. The exterior seems to safe vs previous models.

nice review. I'm also waiting for Doug's review

Very luxurious beautiful design nice interior 😎

Does anyone else like the previous-gen interior more?

Does that back seat middle console go up? It look like it does.

Mercedes didn't Introduce the car raising in a side crash, Audi did like three or four years ago.

Welcome to my beautiful little state of Rhode Island

That’s a Very busy interior, I like technology and all but damn.

Sofyen, hope all is well! We are using Summit Point for our autocrosses these days....stop by!

I expect nothing less from a Mercedes-Benz S Class~~ Absolutely amazing :) Although, I'm just here as a normal person who can't afford one, which is probably everyone in the comments xD

The Mercedes Benz S Class is extremely nice, I can just imagine my chauffer drive me while I relax in the back..

They did a great job

Very Nice!

Is MBUX built upon Android? I can't seem to find any answers online other than vague references to using Nvidia's A.I. Does anyone know what hardware they use and if you can find samples of the software?

The in-line 6 entry level is as smooth as the Maybach V12

Sofyan - Would like to see your review on 2014/2015 S550 4matic. Will really appreciate if you can post one if you haven't yet.

hankook tires? It is like a Beverly Hills socialite wearing shoes4less!

Every model redesign goes from round to square or square to round 😂

I much prefer the sophistication and elegance of DIALS and GUAGES over the cheap looking flat screens. It's not like we don't already have enough flat screens in our lives.

Can you review the 2021/2022 lexus ls 500

I’m more pumped on the new bronco. Deff like this S class.

What shades are you wearing if you don't mind

Love the exterior, but agreed that the previous gen interior was better. For over $100k I don’t want to see any cheap piano black plastic, and touch sensitive buttons are a huge pain (no, you don’t get used to them). I’ll take our Volvo XC90 T8’s interior over the S550 any day.

Super nice.

You should do the same backseat reviews for other passenger-focused cars like minivans.

It's about time.

I can hear Scotty Kilmer in the background yelling, "endless money pit!!!!"

Redline review did you ever do a separate video on the infotainment?

Once the chip shortage is resolved and prices have come down, I`m a gonna get me a previous S Class.

This is a true boss’s car. Elegant and modern yet still classic. Luckily I cannot afford it since it will probably be very expensive to maintain when it gets older. Still I think it is a fantastic car.

7:00 I think global specs S class does come with sequential turn signals. Maybe they swapped it because of the US regulation something about the first flicker of turn signal should be as bright as the brake lights (something like that) and since if it's sequential, the first flicker would be deemed not enough to meet the regulation. Hence why Audi's turn signal is a bit ridiculous because not only you have the turn signal part moving in sequential, but also the brake light which doubles as the turn signal. Mercedes probably thought it would be better to have it not sequenting rather than having brake-share/red turn signals.

A flying mercedes to avoid traffic? Then you have to deal with air traffic 😂

That precollision side lift was introduced by audi on the A8 some years ago

Mighty fine a-class you got there

Just saw you in the AlexonAutos video.

I love that they are keeping the floating star. I do not like all the gloss on the interior.

The Audi A8/S8 actually rolled out the side lifting pre-collision prep feature first…I believe Audi’s been offering this feature for at least the past 2 yrs…by no means am I confirming which company actually created/patented the feature from inception

My third s class. The exterior design looks much better in person. The ride and drive are both improved. The dual screen layout is a step backwards for this series both aesthetically and in functionality . The center touch touch screen takes your eye off of the road to operate while you search for a menu or try something as simple changing the radio channel. It also takes away from the comfort experience because the ergonomics of the touchscreen are just far enough away from the user to make the driver move his driving position to operate it. The center console takes away the armrest for your forearm as well as reduces the cup holders size.The touch screen stays covered in fingerprints and the fingerprint id is an extra step that gets annoying on a daily basis. The touch screen is also hard to see at times with the suns reflections. The new air vents sit high and away from the driver and cause a distracting reflection on the windshield. The ride and drive are outstanding , but the electronics make it very frustrating to operate.

I definitely was hoping that the chauffeur would continuously flip you off like the Cullinan video, lol.

Kia K900 also has a wireless phone charger in the second row. Thought you had reviewed that too.

Why doesn’t the American version carry the flat bottom sport steering wheel I see in other videos? It seems smaller and thicker.

pretty sure audi introduced the lifting of the suspension when it senses a crash when they released the a8 a few years ago right?
