Luxury flagship moves to all-wheel drive platform, but it’s the cabin experience that sets a new standard
Mercedes-Benz S 450 and S 450 L
Local Launch
Yarra Valley, Vic
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class limousine has long been the model that pioneers new technology from the German luxury car manufacturer. Larger but lighter than its predecessor, the new W223 series embraces all-wheel drive across the local range for the first time. Other variants will follow in due course, but the S-Class launches in Australia with just one powertrain variant: the S 450 4MATIC, and its long-wheelbase version, the S 450 L 4MATIC. We’ve driven (and been chauffeured in) both on the launch drive of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and it’s immediately apparent that Benz has raised the bar again.
