Summary

The S 500 4MATIC Coupe with 9G-TRONIC gearbox is distinguished from earlier versions for a higher highway efficiency and smoother gearshifts. The non-pillar B design remains the strongest aesthetic point, giving the tool an unmatched elegance. Air suspension comes standard, providing an over-the-road navigation, while the 4MATIC system guarantees that all the power of the V8 BiTurbo engine is transmitted safely to the asphalt. Attention should be paid to the vehicle's electrical system and multiple safety sensors, which are quite complex. Also, Swarovski crystals on the front lights (if ordered as an option) require special care against scratches or damage.
