What Edmunds Says

After a minor refresh last year, the S-Class is once again a top choice when it comes to a no-compromise luxury sedan.

Pros

Elegantly appointed and spacious cabin, feels nimble for its size, state-of-the-art safety features, strong resale value.

Cons

Complicated COMAND system, not as athletic as some of its competitors, a few low-grade interior materials.
