2008-2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan
Full-size Luxury Sedan
Mercedes-Benz's flagship five-passenger sedan is often so innovative that during its time on the market, that even the examples that are a few years old have more advanced features then their brand new competitors. This version of the S-Class is no exception with options massaging front seats and exceptional interior space that rivals the competitors extended wheelbase models. The engine lineup included everything from powerful gas motors, a hybrid, and even a turbo diesel rated at 31 mpg highway (a standout in this class.) Consumer Reports recommended this model S-Class when it was new, and all-wheel drive was optional.
