Synonymous with prestige and luxury, the S-Class will retain the title of pioneer in innovative technologies in its next generation as well, before these are passed on to the rest of the mass-produced models.
Either we like super luxury cars or we think of them as a utopian sign of vanity, the Mercedes S-Class has its own distinct interest. The German limousine has been around for decades, in every generation, carrier of important technological innovations that ultimately make it a true pioneer, since its systems are gradually and later transferred to the rest of the smaller mass-produced models. This is expected to happen in the next generation of the S-Class which will be presented 2013 and which we reveal here exclusively.
With important new comfort and safety technologies
The "package" of sophisticated comfort and safety technologies that the S-Class carries today is expected to pass, in an even more sophisticated form, in the new model. Choosing the most important of them, we expect the next S-Class to incorporate, including, systems such as Advanced Night View Assist Plus (infrared night vision and many possibilities), Speed Limit Assist (Speed limit recording and display technology on the instrument panel), Αctive Body Control (Active body control).
Emphasis on ecological profile
The S-Class could not fail to become an ideal field for the development of new ecological technologies. After the hybrid version S400 Hybrid which has been around for more than a year now, Mercedes engineers now seem to have invested even more in this area, preparing a more complete hybrid version with the possibility of recharging even in an outlet. (plug-in).
Considering that today's S 400 Hybrid has a motor 3,5 liters with 279 horsepower, average fuel consumption 7,9 lt./100 km. and CO2 emissions barely 186 g/km, then it is estimated that we will see the new model with an average consumption close to 7,0 lt./100 km. and CO2 respectively with those of a small and medium model.
