the topic that interests you most we have a lot of ground to cover let's get going first of all even before you sit down behind the wheel you are greeted by an atmosphere of pure luxury it's like entering a different world and you know right away this is an s-class i especially love the cool way to log into the car i either need my face my voice or just my index finger the car instantly recognizes my fingerprint and authenticates me from my individual settings hey future here i come but the real deal is this new huge oled display here it really transforms your cockpit into a high-tech command center compared to the previous model this screen gives you 60 percent more display surface you can control navigation connectivity entertainment and car functions here what sticks to the bottom of the display though are the climate controls a very clever way to match the digital features with analog haptics all in all mercedes has managed to get rid of 27 hard keys compared to the predecessor everything is about minimalism and ease of use i like that inside there's an evolution of the famous operating system mbux it now allows you to control the vehicle functions even easier and more intuitively all in all you can control mbux not only by this touch screen but by the touch control buttons and via voice control hey mercedes how can i help any option is really intuitive so it's a personal decision what to use when on top you can activate certain functions via gesture or gaze control the first time the driver display is available in 3d just one tap on the screen and this function gives you a spatial view 3d glasses like these are now a thing of the past with this cutting edge visual impression various styles allow to personalize the system along your personal preferences understated sport exclusive and classic that way the display makes it easier to focus on the important things the software in the new s-class has made leaps forward you'll notice while using the mbux voice assistant the most intuitive control option in the s-class now it's not only capable of even more dialogue some functions even work without the famous wake-up words hey mercedes i'll show you show the navigation map please where is the first aid kit located the first aid kit can be found in the boot on the right hand side secured with a velcro strap how's the weather in frankfurt currently it is cloudy in front foot with a temperature of 14 degrees the augmented reality for navigation has already proven really helpful for finding your way around the city in complex traffic situations by layering arrows and signs directly in the camera feed the s-class takes this a step further with the head-up display when you navigate the system will virtually display animated arrows in your line of sight projecting it right on the road ahead with the mercedes me service online route calculation this feature can even be enhanced live traffic and other events are taken into consideration while calculating the route online in the cloud now the best route is set let's hit the road there is simply nothing more comfortable than road tripping in an s-class sedan aside from the immediate driving comfort you feel in the new s-class there's groundbreaking innovations hidden inside the car check this out now we are driving in the long version of the new flagship and while that comes with extra space for comfort you would expect it to come with a disadvantage in terms of handling thanks to rear axle steering however it feels almost like a compact car giving you a turning circle up to two meters smaller than before i could do this forever just kidding in real life this opposite steering angle comes in handy when parking when we reach 60 kilometers per hour the rear wheels steer into the same direction as the front wheels increasing your driving stability and handling safety the s-class is available with a new range of powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines including a plug-in hybrid option talking about bringing the engine power to the road every s-class has the 9g tronic transmission as standard it produces the typical smooth and superior driving feeling that this car is known for let me just enjoy this because you don't get to do this every day right okay i didn't just shut my mouth for a while because i'm lazy i wanted you to notice the quietness in the interior it is almost silent inside maybe you're gonna ask what did they do to the car that others don't well the secret is a bit more advanced than my hardware store diy knowledge but basically they fill the raw chassis with special acoustic foams that kill most of the noise and vibrations if you want to use that on your noisy neighbors please don't quote me or the guys for mercedes okay on the inside the s-class is designed as your feel-good lounge for many the car is the third place after home and work and therefore should give you the same levels of coziness quality and cutting-edge technology when it comes to luxury and comfort the newly designed interior appears to be a revolution the dashboard is wide and clean the digital screens look cool and work perfectly and the materials are just so greatly crafted look at these trim elements you've got a mix of high quality fabrics here and aluminum inlays here and there very stylish when i was anticipating driving the world's best car i imagine some nice seats but reality is even better you might call them best seats in a car ever and that really means something they just feel soft yet stable right where you need them to be on top you have numerous adjustment options and plenty of comfort features one of them is the energizing seat kinetics which supports minimal changes in the seating posture by means of minute changes to the inclinations of the seat backrest and cushions because sitting in almost the same position for hundreds of kilometers and many hours is not good for your back and discs in addition the s-class also offers a bunch of climate functions and massage options to all seats this is definitely very refreshing during a long drive keeping you more alert on what's happening on the road the active ambient lighting is a real technological leap and what i love the most the ambient light strip now comes with a spectacular multi-color function it not only lets you control the lighting fitting to whatever your mood or condition is the lights also support the driving assistance system visually for example they can blink red to warn you when you open the door and let's say a car or a bicyclist is approaching from behind personally i love driving but in a car as luxurious as this many owners don't always drive on their own they get driven the boss sits in the rear the s-class is designed with this in mind that is why passengers in the rear enjoy the same infotainment and comfort features as the front seats and more as a matter of fact writing in the s-class the rear is like flying first class the space in here is ridiculous i'm about 1.8 meters tall and i can stretch out like crazy the seat comfort package includes seat heating and the massage function even in the rear to control the settings conveniently use the screen in front of you or just say this hey mercedes how can i help turn on the seat heating i'm switching on the seat heating well i guess you notice the famous mercedes voice control is now available in the rear as well let's try another one hey mercedes how can i help i'm a bit tired you should take a break at the next suitable place until then i will turn on the vitality program now a range of programs direct the climate control ambient lighting music and seat functions such as massage heating or ventilation hey you want more of this mind-blowing luxury with the mbux tablet you can remotely control the mbux multimedia and comfort functions looking for a perfect match then consider these two 11.6 inch displays that come with the high end rear seat entertainment package they have similar functions as the tablet but come with two amazing features that just make my day one is full mbu x experience with direct access to vehicle functions the other content like this film can be moved from display to display from each seat in the s-class mercedes offers a wide range of online music now also including spotify with amazon music and tidal already in place mercedes offers its customer a wide range of streaming service up to their choice with one click i can also go directly to all my favorite personal playlists that really feels like being at home hey mercedes play synesthesia by lozo i really love this song and i have to admit that i've never heard it in such a superb quality the burmester sound system now comes with 4d surround sound this technology lets you enjoy music with all senses the mentioned fourth dimension comes courtesy of speaker like exciter's vibrating and pulsating in sync with the rhythms giving you a sound massage on top more surround speakers are integrated into the seats and for the bottom end you find bass speakers in the doors and an additional subwoofer in the boot should you be left with a little bit of work the in-car office functions come in handy hey mercedes how can i help show my emails what would you like to do open email one what can i do for you reply to this mail could you please tell me what text you would like to enter hey julia let's meet for dinner in frankfurt tonight and talk about

solitude castle here in stuttgart what a fitting backdrop for a ca this classy let's check out the sleek exterior design of the new s-class the front is dominated by this mighty radiator grille the flanks look clean and strong what i personally think is key to the prestige of any s-class but my most favorite detail is at the rear the split tail lights lend an allergens to this big car it really makes it stand out from the rest adding to the cool exterior are the flush fitting door handles that really blend into the surface with keyless go i could just leave the key in my pocket now when i approach the car the system detects the key now all i have to do is touch here and the handles pop out let's check some more details this s-class here comes with the amg line consisting of the front apron with air intakes and fins and splitter in chrome this amg rear apron with a diffuser and those tail pipe trim elements to round it off this s-class stands on amg design 20 inch wheels it's a totally fitting package don't you think another stunning innovation is digital light basically it gives you all the ideal lighting for every situation we know from the multi-beam led on top of that it can indicate symbols or lanes giving you or others a better orientation in dark or unclear scenarios the leds here contain 1.3 million pixels on each side that's 2.6 million pixels in total working as precise as an hd projector incredible what a beauty right now let's get going the road is calling again the safety in the new s-class is really next level it comes with revolutionary innovations that are partly derived from the esf 2019 the brand's experimental safety vehicle active and passive safety systems have been integrated more closely along with driving assistance systems that go another step towards a future of autonomous driving the driving assistance system comes as standard what that basically means modern sensors greater range more safety on longer journeys the active distance assist istronic is really essential it acts as a super smart cruise control because it can automatically maintain a desired distance to the car in front of me one of the new features you can now adjust the dynamics of the distronic in the mbux moreover the system uses map-based data and road sign recognition to automatically adjust the car's speed to the correct speed limit if necessary fancy a world record here it is the new s-class will be the first production car to optionally equip airbags designed to protect rear seat passengers on both sides in a frontal impact the innovative tubular structure is unique and as a result it deploys more gently compared to a standard airbag with this footage you can get a feeling of how the technology works another optional feature package the car comes with is urban guard with this mercedes-benz is the first car brand that offers this all-round monitoring of the part car it includes amongst others break-in and anti-theft alarm systems should your car be touched by another road user when parked you will receive a message on your mbux once you enter the car if you have the mercedes me app connected to your car you can get
