Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Mercedes never fails to deliver supremacy, but the S-Class series is one above the rest. This tantalising design is a result of state-of-the-art innovative technology, top-quality materials and the promise of pure class.

In our books, this car is practically a 10/10 on the eyes. The seductive model is fringed with ultra-long-range LED headlamps that can reach up to 650 metres ahead and bursts aesthetic precision with its smooth curves and slim waist.

Although visual attractiveness is one of S-Class’s greatest qualities, it wasn’t the only attribute that had us sold. Inside is a luxurious heaven for even the most prestigious chauffeur with wellness features including massaging seats, climate control, perfume, lighting and musical elements. In all its supreme functionality and elegance, the S-Class has been described as a ‘first-class jet on wheels’. Ok, now we’re sold!
