The latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is pretty much the car to beat in the luxury segment. Daimler AG thinks so, but they're not alone in having this opinion.
With ground-breaking technologies like the Magic Body Control or the Distronic Plus with Steering Assist, the model introduces what we'll probably see on lesser cars in at least a decade from now.
Both aforementioned systems rely on a stereo camera which technically “sees” in 3d in front of the vehicle, apart from a host of other sensors which take notice of pretty much everything going on outside and make the car act accordingly.
Edmund's editors seemed to be the most impressed by the S-Class' interior though, having also tested the first class package for the rear seats, which brings Maybach levels of comfort for the passengers. The seats, for example, now even include a hot stones massage function, apart from being either cooled or heated or even both for the undecided.

Not long after, Alex entered the New Media realm with the autoevolution.com project. Full profile
