Visually, the refreshed S-Class adopts a revised exterior design highlighted by an upright Mercedes star on the bonnet, reinforcing its traditional flagship identity. Inside and beneath the surface, the car introduces the latest Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS), bringing next-generation digital functionality and connected features to the cabin. Buyers will also have access to expanded Manufaktur Made to Measure personalisation options, allowing for a higher degree of bespoke luxury.
Ride comfort sees further improvements through an enhanced Airmatic air suspension system with intelligent damper regulation, promising an even smoother and more controlled driving experience.
Commenting on the update, Källenius noted that the S-Class continues to define benchmarks for safety, comfort and engineering, building on over 140 years of Mercedes-Benz innovation.
The S-Class preview follows a series of similar teaser videos from Mercedes-Benz, which have previously showcased upcoming models including the electric CLA, electric G-Class and electric GLC, ahead of their official debuts.
