The steering has plenty of feel and the S-Class is surprisingly composed for such a big car. The ride is great, too, thanks to the air suspension system.
The S-Class also comes packed with technology designed to keep passengers safe and the driver in control, but look out for some great options such as infra-red night vision, to help spot hazards in the road, and Active Body Control, which enhances the car’s handling.
Inside Mercedes Benz S Class
As you'd expect, the cabin is beautifully finished, with high-quality metal detailing, bespoke switchgear and swathes of double-stitched leather.
However, it also feels very modern, because the dashboard is dominated by two widescreen TFT displays; one has the main instruments for the driver, while the other incorporates sat-nav, vehicle settings and infotainment.
As in other Mercedes, you scroll through the various on-screen menus using a rotary dial that's positioned between the front seats. This time, though, the shortcut buttons for individual systems are by the dial, where they're easy to find and use.
The fact that some of the buttons have raised, Braille-like dots also helps you tell them apart, plus the telephone keypad doubles as 12 programmable shortcuts, and the voice control system works well.
Finding a comfortable driving position is easy, too, thanks to an electrically adjustable seat.
Meanwhile, in the rear there's a choice of layouts, including a three-person bench-style seat, and two individual chairs separated by a centre console with aircraft-style fold-out tables and cupholders that can heat and cool drinks.
Those who intend to be driven can even specify a Chauffeur Pack, which allows the front passenger's seat to be moved right out of the way so the person behind can recline their seat (electrically, of course) and bring out a footrest.
Other options include everything from rear entertainment screens and a 24-speaker audio system, to an adjustable fragrance system and heated motors designed to replicate a 'hot stone' massage.
The boot of the new S-Class is easily big enough to swallow multiple sets of golf clubs, although the boot-mounted sub-woofer that's part of the range-topping audio system does reduce the width of the load space a little.
Should I buy one?
Absolutely. The new S-Class is more comfortable, refined and luxurious than all its rivals, yet it's also capable of more than 50mpg if you opt for the S350 Bluetec – our favourite version.
If you're after the best luxury limo money can buy, this is undoubtedly it.
