For the last decade, the S-Class has set the benchmark for luxury saloons. So as Mercedes-Benz celebrates 140 years of innovation and craftsmanship, there’s no better vehicle to represent that legacy than the new S-Class for 2027.
But will the upgraded S-Class be enough to successfully see off competition in the saloon market? Watch our video to get a full look at what’s changed and uncover a few surprises.

What’s new with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2027?

Whilst the new S-Class may look similar at first glance, more than 50% of the vehicle is newly innovated.
From the outside, there are a few bold upgrades to the S-Class, from a newly designed grille to enhanced lighting features. Inside the vehicle, comfort remains a clear priority with a range of heated comfort features, a highly advanced filtration system and a business-class inspired rear seating that brings the boardroom to you, creating a luxury meeting space on the go. Personalisation also plays a major role in the S-Class upgrade, with customers able to choose from different seat configurations, wheelbase options and powertrains, including a new six-cylinder engine. Plus, the Mercedes-Benz Manufaktur Made to Measure Programme offers a full spectrum of paint colours and interior finishes to choose from. Be sure to watch the video to catch a glimpse of a striking new finish infused with glass flakes. So, with new technology, unmatched personalisation and design updates, does this S-Class move the benchmark forward?
