Love by day, love by night.
Mercedes-Benz S500L, a car that is more beautiful at night than during the day, shines brightly against the background of the gorgeous night view of the mountain city.
If the previous generation of S-Class created the interior template of the automotive industry with dual screens and interpreted luxury to the peak, then the new generation of S-Class opened up the future of smart technology and humanistic technology. Don't worry, the designers of Mercedes-Benz still create a unique luxury and elegance in this generation of S-Class, a feeling that can only be perceived when you are immersed in the scene, through sight, touch, hearing, smell - trying to evaluate through photos, one-sided.
In particular, this set of leather, chrome, paint and solid wood is perfectly matched, and the elegant temperament is pushed to the extreme. As we all know, white is known as "aristocratic white" in Europe, which is a symbol of status and status, therefore, the high-level of light white interiors requires deep skills, on the one hand, designers are required to have super high aesthetic ability, on the other hand, they also put forward ultra-high standards for materials and processes. IMHO, while white interiors are becoming more and more popular now, there are only two brands that can truly perfectly express their elegance: one is Mercedes-Benz and the other is Bentley.
I was also fascinated by two things: One is the Burmester high-end 4D sound system, which has clear treble and thick bass, especially suitable for classical music or opera. 4D surround sound with the vibration of the seats brings a theater-like realism, the charm of the Live version is here you can fully feel; the second is the colorful atmosphere lights, 263 LED light source ambience lights not only create an elegant interior atmosphere, but also take into account the function and practicality. For example, adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, man-machine dialogue, safety warning will bring about different light changes.
The birth of the Mercedes-Benz S has brought leading technology and technology, and the new generation of the W223 S Class is no exception. The 12.3-inch new naked-eye 3D instrument screen has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, and its interpretation of the sense of science and technology may make it difficult for the new forces known as intelligent pioneers to decipher. 12.8-inch OLED central touch screen, the picture is delicate, the texture is excellent. The second generation of MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system integrates all the functions that the current car networking system should have. After the owner registers, he can choose new biometric recognition methods such as fingerprint, face, and voice recognition to enter the personal account.
The oversized HUD heads-up display with augmented reality is the world's first. It consists of a high-resolution imaging matrix of 1.3 million micro-lenses and an efficient light source, with rich real-world content and clear picture quality that makes the information display clear at a glance. After turning on the navigation and driver assistance system, the display information is extremely rich, and when you turn on the turn signal to turn on the automatic lane change, the green animated arrow is virtually projected into the actual environment 10 meters in front of the driver's windshield, which is very realistic.
The driving texture is a symbol of the new S-Class Million status. 3.0T six-cylinder engine, the S450 L has 367 horsepower, we test-drove this S500L to 435 horsepower. For a D-class executive limousine, it doesn't have to be grumpy. But when you need to overtake at high speed, every time you step on the accelerator pedal, it will give you enough confidence, continuous acceleration, and calm.
The new S-Class comes standard with air suspension, which acts like a big ship when it passes through bumps and seams on the road, and is more like sliding past. This sense of calmness and stability is the performance that millions of executive-level luxury cars should have. In addition, it is equipped with a rear-wheel active steering system, when bending low or turning, the rear wheels and the front wheels rotate in reverse, so that the turning diameter of the new S-Class is less than 11 meters, even smaller than the C-class. Even on narrow mountain roads, the new S-Class is flexible.
"Write at the end"
If in the C-class, 3 Series, A4 or E-Class, 5 Series, A6 in the middle of you still have entanglements, but at the top level, Mercedes-Benz S-Class is undoubtedly the first choice of the vast majority of people. It has gone beyond the attributes and strength of the car itself, and more to assume your personal label, identity status and taste.
Since the birth of the first generation of the S-Class in 1951, Mercedes-Benz has brought the world's best executive luxury D-Class. Through eleven generations, each generation of S-Class has made an important contribution to the progress of the automotive industry and created countless classics. Looking back at the more than 100 years of automobile development, many brands have a representative model. For example, golf for volkswagen, 911 for Porsche, S-class for Mercedes-Benz. They are totems and benchmarks. If the tenth generation of S-Class wrote the last peak with extreme luxury, then today's new Eleventh Generation S-Class continues to lead the future with smart technology.
Today, the electrification transition is irreversible, and the S-Class has brought about electrification EQS. We're not sure if EQS can continue the myth of the S-Class, but what is certain is that the W-Series fuel version of the S-Class is still one of the best cars on the planet.
