The MercedesBenz S-Class has consistently been the technology leader for the brand.
Safety features that seem first at this amount steadily drip down the remainder of the range. But, it has only comparatively recently joined some of its stablemates in offering a form.

Drivetrain
It is supposed to burn 8.5 litres of fuel every 100 kms.

Outside
Stretching over five meters long and almost two meters wide, the S320 CDI exudes a feeling of presence and luxury comfort.
Bixenon headlamps with dynamic range adjustment, Active Light Function and tinted infrared - reflecting glass all round are only a few attributes that suggestion in the outer edge technology that Mercedes have applied to their top end vehicles.

Inside
There's also a TV tuner, SPEEDTRONIC varying speed limiter plus a multifunction steering wheel and screen.

DRIVING
The enormous Benz is a significant piece of metal, and also you're constantly conscious of this on the street. It's solid and calm. However there's no awareness of it being bloated... it's more an almost imperial atttitude.
The diesel engine is meaty and powerful, but there was scarcely a feeling of urgency about its functionality until you sunk the spurs deep into its flanks.
However, you waft along on an air suspension system that melts everything your course while preventing your body from entirely marshmallowing around the bends. There continues to be a pleasing number of control, although you never have the impression the sedan is inviting you to chuck it around.
The cabin is a hushed, hightech stateroom, bristling with enough gear to make life needlessly complicated if it weren't so intuitive. Even the Command Control system that ties within the nav, entertainment, climate and communication attributes is simple enough to use without resorting to a manual.
The radar-driven cruise control that tracks traffic in your course within the sort of security technology that'll hopefully one day wind up in every automobile, not only every Merc.
No matter how the forward infrared camera vision within the instrument panel - although impressive in the way it can see further than the individual and send back a clear monochrome image - was a distracting inclusion in case you ran it always, but proved to become a bonus during significant rain.
This is the sort of car that you simply'd picture could have a chauffer, as you relax pressure-free within the rear. But to give the S - Class manages around to somebody else would be to refuse some to yourself of the most relaxing driving to be had on our roads.
