2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan Trims Comparison

The S 500 uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six (442 horsepower, 413 lb-ft of torque) while the S 580 gets a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (496 hp, 516 lb-ft). The S 580e uses the S 500's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six paired with an electric motor, which together produce a combined 503 hp and 553 lb-ft. The 28.6-kWh battery is estimated to offer 46 miles of electric-only propulsion on a full charge and can be replenished via DC fast charging. All powertrains come mated to a nine-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive.

The AMG S 63 E Performance sports a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine that is paired with an electric motor that is mounted atop the rear axle (791 hp, 1,055 lb-ft combined). Its 13.1-kWh battery should offer around 20 miles of electric range.
