Used 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a large luxury vehicle offered in sedan, coupe and convertible body styles. The sedan is available in five main trim levels: S 450, S 560, S 560e, AMG S 63 and AMG S 65. The coupe and convertible are limited to the S 560 and AMG S 63. Feature highlights include:

S 450
Comes well equipped with:

  • 362-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine

  • Road-smoothing Airmatic air-ride suspension that adjusts ride height
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Hands-free power trunklid

The S 450's technology features include:

    • Frontal collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
    • Automatic high-beam headlights
    • Lane keeping assist (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
    • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)

S 560
Is similarly equipped to the S 450, but adds:

  • 463-hp 4.0-liter V8 engine
  • Rear-wheel drive (standard on sedan) or all-wheel drive (optional for sedan; standard on coupe and convertible)

S 560e
This plug-in hybrid variant differs by including:

  • 3.0-liter turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine
  • Rear-wheel drive
  • Rechargeable battery pack and electric motor
  • Combined output of 469 hp plus 19 miles of all-electric range

AMG S 63
This high-performance variant spices things up with:

  • 603-hp turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine
  • Performance-tuned 4Matic all-wheel-drive system
  • Adaptive sport suspension
  • Upgraded performance brakes
  • Sport exhaust
  • Unique exterior and interior styling cues
  • Surround-view camera system
  • Multicontour seats with massage functions

AMG S 65
The ultimate S-Class tops off the lineup with:

  • 621-hp turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine
  • Rear-wheel drive
  • Seven-speed automatic transmission
  • Magic Body Control suspension that scans the road ahead and counteracts body roll

Depending on the trim level, there are several option packages available:

  • Premium package
    • Ventilated front seats with massage functions
    • Surround-view camera system
    • Rear-seat power window shades
  • Executive Rear Seat package
    • Multicontour rear seats with massage functions
    • Reclining right rear seat
  • Driver Assistance package
    • Traffic-adaptive cruise control
    • Enhancements to standard safety features

Which S-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?

Since the non-AMG S-Class models are similarly appointed, the decision comes down to how much power and performance you desire. Odds are you'll find the entry-level S 450 to be plenty appealing. To that, we suggest adding the optional Premium package (for the extra comfort and convenience features) as well as the Driver Assistance package (its added driver safety aids can make commuting in heavy traffic less stressful).
