Totally forward.
It's an apt description of the 2015 S-Class. A coupé
roofline and fall-away feature line below the door handles give the S-Class
forward presence, without bulk. While a finely tuned interplay of convexity and
concavity endows it with a lean, contemporary muscularity.
There's not a single light bulb in this car – another
S-Class first. Within the sharply-defined intelligent headlamps up to 56 LED
illuminate the way forward. That being said, the S-Class never leaves style
behind: a standard panoramic sunroof, aerodynamic side mirrors with
chrome-trimmed indicators and standard 19"" twin 5-spoke wheels see
to that.
The surfaces and character lines of the vehicle's flanks
draw tautly inward to the rear, leading the eye, while the horizontal contours
of trunk lid and bumper create a satisfying visual breadth to the back end.
Upgrade from first class. To S-Class.
When the door of the S-Class is opened to you, you know
you've arrived. This interior is a world apart. All materials – leather, exotic
woods, solid aluminum for the controls – are of the highest order. Your comfort
and well-being are pre-ordained: the Warmth & Comfort Package drives away
chills by almost instantly heating the wheel, armrests, and seats.
Drive-Dynamic multicontour front seats erase tension with a hot stone-style
massage, while the AIR BALANCE package filters, ionizes, and discreetly
fragrances cabin air – for an especially refreshing atmosphere.
The S-Class was also the first automobile to employ 100% LED
interior and exterior lighting. In the 2015 S-Class, you’ll find no traditional
incandescent light bulbs whatsoever. It’s a vehicle that allows you to
experience the future firsthand.
Toward a more efficient future.
In its approach to efficiency, the S-Class truly is a
harbinger of the future. Highly efficient engines generate the most power from
the least fuel; systemic lightweight construction – hybrid
steel/aluminum/plastic components being an example – saves up to 95 kg,
compared to the previous S-Class; all-LED lighting conserves energy. And the
drag co-efficient of the vehicle is just 0.27. So less energy is needed for the
S-Class to slip ahead.
