Motor Trend – 2016 BMW 750i vs 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 – Video

 

Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman head down to the L.A. River to answer the hundred-thousand-dollar (and then some!) question: S Class or 7 Series? When you think of fullsize luxury sedans, the first image that pops into your mind is most likely the Mercedes-Benz S Class. A true giant of the automotive field, the S Class not only defines the segment, it—along with the E-Class—defines Mercedes-Benz. Imposing, potent, opulent, safe, technologically advanced—for a six-figure price, the S Class has it all. Buying one is something of a no-brainer. That doesn’t mean there aren’t alternatives—the Jaguar XJ, Audi A8, Cadillac CT6, Lexus LS, and, of course, the BMW 7 Series. Now in its sixth generation, the 7 Series is bigger, more powerful, more leather-lined, and more technology robust than ever before. The 2016 BMW 750i presents the first credible challenge to the W222 S Class since it debuted. Is the BMW better than the Mercedes-Benz?
