Whether it was needed for a CEO or a head of state, the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class was ready in two wheelbases and with plenty of options.
The S-Class was the top vehicle from the German car-maker. It was the benchmark for comfortable cars all over the world. It was also on the front of the automotive technologies for safety and luxury, for more than five decades.
The new flagship model by Mercedes-Benz was larger than its predecessor in every respect. There was a choice of two body lengths - 5076 or 5206 mm (199.8" or 204.9"). The wheelbase has increased by 70/80 mm (2.75"/3.14") to 3035 and 3165 mm (118.4" and 124.6"), respectively. That meant plenty of legroom for the rear, most important, seats in the car. These new dimensions created the conditions for an interior concept, with first-class comfort.
The suspension featured the standard AIRMATIC air-suspension system that could be programmed for comfort or sport settings at the touch of a button.
Under the hood, there was a choice of V6 or V8 engines from the start, with the 3.5-liter as entry-level. Since in Europe there was a high demand for diesel units, a 3.0-liter was offered for the S320 CDI. Top of the range, the S600 V12 engine was available since 2006. For the transmission, the S-Class installed the 7G-Tronic as standard for the V6 and the V8 engines.
