Don't let yourself fooled by the all-black attitude of our 2014 Mercedes S550 test car. The new S-Class has the same visual character no matter what color it's dressed in. This is a car that covers the tons of luxury and protection it offers in a design that doesn't want to draw attention.
The twin-turbo V8 up front holds enough firepower to rival military ships. Nevertheless, this is delivered in such a way that those inside the car are never aware of too many changes. It's all quiet.
While the headlamps have an IQ that allows you to keep the high beam on all the time, the taillights also have a trick of their own. These offer three levels of intensity, depending on the light outside and the state of the car. By the way, the 2014 S-Class only uses LEDs - not a single light bulb can be found in this car.
Forget the front seats, the S-Class doesn't treat its driver with too much attention. The rear is the place you'll want to be in. You can choose between five different seating packages in the back.
We could talk all day about the atmosphere inside the car, but we won't. Instead, we're inviting you to throw a look around the cabin via the HD photo gallery of our 2014 Mercedes S550 test drive.
