2018 Mercedes S560 & S500 Exterior, Interior, Test Drive – Video

2018 Mercedes S560 & S500 Exterior, Interior, Test Drive – Video

Exterior design: Status and technological competence are now even more tangible. All models are fitted with a new radiator grille. In combination with MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, the S‑Class has three prominent light torches as an exclusive design feature.

Control and display concept: Under a shared glass cover, the two high-resolution displays, each with a 12.3‑i nch screen diagonal, blend together to form a Widescreen Cockpit. The new S‑Class has touch-sensitive Touch Control buttons on the new steering wheel. The operation of DISTRONIC and cruise control via controls directly on the steering wheel is another new feature. The infotainment system can be operated via the touchpad, using the controller in the centre console and by LINGUATRONIC voice control, which now obeys over 450 commands.

Driving assistance systems: Active Distance Control DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist now provide even more comfortable support for the driver when keeping a safe distance and steering. The Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, for example, thus uses substantially more map and navigation data, can support the driver based on the route, and conveniently adjusts the vehicle speed.

Lights: MULTIBEAM LED headlamps enable extremely quick and precise adjustment of the headlamps to the current traffic conditions. ULTRA RANGE Highbeam generates the maximum light intensity permitted by law.

Suspension: MAGIC BODY CONTROL with ROAD SURFACE SCAN recognises road bumps in advance and compensates them. The curve inclination function is another comfort enhancement that is available for the S‑Class for the first time.

Engine technology: A completely new range of highly efficient engines with new six-cylinder in-line diesel and petrol variants, as well as a V8 biturbo with cylinder shutoff, has its debut in the new S‑Class. At the same time, ground-breaking technologies such as the 48 volt Integrated Starter Generator and the electric booster compressor celebrate their world première.

ECO Assist: The S-Class becomes an intelligent fuel-saver by using navigation data, traffic signs and information from the driving assistance systems. The driver receives advance notifications in good time for a particularly efficient and comfortable driving style. Coasting to a stop and decelerating are energetically optimised by “gliding” with the engine off or with recuperation.

Wellness: ENERGIZING comfort control (from September 2017) networks different onboard comfort systems and allows a specific wellness setup according to the mood or needs of the customer. The extended ambience lighting creates interior lighting moods like a work of art by composing colour worlds from different colours.

Infotainment: Mobile phones can be charged as standard wirelessly and without a telephone holder. Front and rear passengers now have more text messaging options. They can now receive, send, forward and use voice-to-text to dictate text messages. With the new Concierge service, Mercedes me customers are able to use a wide range of individual services.

The new biturbo is among the world’s most economical V8 petrol engines, and consumes up to six percent less fuel than its predecessor. To lower the fuel consumption, four cylinders of the new V8 are deactivated simultaneously under partial load with the help of the CAMTRONIC valve-lift adjustment system. This reduces the pumping losses while improving the overall efficiency of the remaining four cylinders by shifting the operating point towards higher loads. The turbochargers positioned in the V of the cylinder banks represent another special feature. The new V8 develops 345 kW (469 hp) and 700 Nm, and is installed in the Mercedes-Benz S 560 (combined fuel consumption: 8.5-7.9 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 195-181 g/km) and Mercedes‑Maybach S 560 (combined fuel consumption: 9.3-8.8 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 209-198 g/km). Both are also available with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.

 

 

The S 500 has an output of 320 kW (435 hp) and 520 Nm (combined fuel consumption: 6.6 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 150 g/km). Over a short period, the Integrated Starter Generator makes a further 250 Nm of torque and 16 kW of output available. Compared to the similarly powerful S 500 predecessor with a V8 engine, it has been possible to reduce the CO2 emissions of the engine by around 22 percent.

New, intelligent forced induction that includes an electric booster compressor as well as an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) provide outstanding power delivery without turbo lag. The ISG is responsible for hybrid functions such as boost or energy recuperation, while allowing fuel savings that were previously reserved for high-voltage hybrid technology. Below the line, the new in-line 6-cylinder engine delivers the performance of an eight-cylinder with significantly lower consumption.

Systematic electrification dispenses with the need for a belt drive for ancillary components at the front of the engine, which reduces its overall length. The slim design, together with the physical separation of intake/exhaust, creates space for near-engine exhaust aftertreatment. The 48-volt on-board power supply serves not only high power consumers such as the water pump and air-conditioning compressor, but also the Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), which also supplies energy to the battery by means of highly efficient energy recuperatio
