For a third consecutive year, the S-Class has won the title of Best Luxury Car in What Car?’s annual awards. It’s also the eighth time in the last decade that the S-Class has secured the title, confirming its status as a benchmark for exceptional style, luxury, comfort and safety.
As Steve Fowler of What Car? commented, it offers “… the finest materials, scrupulous attention to detail and total focus on what buyers of the finest saloon cars expect”. Little wonder then, that the S-Class accounted for 21% of all sales in the luxury car segment in 2008.
The latest S-Class upholds a long tradition of trail-blazing design and safety innovations from Mercedes-Benz. It is the first vehicle in the range to feature safety equipment such as Night View Assist, which provides drivers with an infra-red view of night roads, and Distronic Plus, sensor-based cruise control which anticipates obstacles ahead by braking the vehicle. It was also the vehicle chosen to pioneer Pre-Safe® anticipatory safety protection, which has since been included on vehicles across the range.
More aesthetic details, too, set the S-Class apart from its competitors. Features like high quality leather upholstery, luxury climate control and the highly advanced COMAND communications system place drivers and passengers in a superbly luxurious environment. Harmonious design throughout creates a sense of relaxation and well-being that’s unmistakably Mercedes-Benz.
Dermot Kelly, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz cars, recognises that “The refinement, efficiency, comfort, safety and luxurious feel of the S-Class all contribute to its success. Our customers demand the best.”
