As the flagship model of Mercedes-Benz, the S-Class continues to set new standards in the luxury saloon segment. With its pioneering design concepts, cutting-edge technologies, unparalleled safety and comfort, and exceptional craftsmanship, the range currently possesses the richest lineup in its class. The world premieres of the four new models of S 400 HYBRID, S 300, S 600 and S 65 AMG at the show, reflects the automaker's dedication to the development of the best-selling S-Class product portfolio. Designed to meet the diverse needs of its customers, the new generation S-Class signifies Mercedes-Benz's perseverance to bring the finest vehicles into China, a market of strategic importance for the automaker.
The complete range of new generation S-Class models is equipped with sophisticated technologies, satisfying the tastes of the most discerning customers. Mercedes-Benz has incorporated the new SPLITVIEW technology into the innovative control and display system COMAND. The integrated display screen now allows the driver and front passenger to view navigation information and entertainment programs simultaneously. The new S-Class also features Active Body Control (ABC) with Crosswind Stabilisation - Mercedes-Benz's active-suspension technology that significantly enhances in-car stability. Both the driving experience and comfort are greatly improved with the ABC system. Mercedes-Benz has also installed the exemplary ATTENTION ASSIST. Observing the driver's steering behavior has proved to be a particularly strong indicator of tiredness, which pose serious safety risks. The system automatically alerts the driver when it detects that the driver has lost his focus - this further strengthens the S-Class' top safety features. The artful combination of cutting-edge technologies has set new standards in the auto industry and further solidifying the leading position of the S-Class in the top luxury saloon segment.
Mercedes-Benz's S 400 HYBRID makes its world debut at the show as the champion of low CO2 emissions for a luxury saloon, priding itself with a fuel consumption of merely 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers, the only model among its segment with the fuel consumption less than 8.0 liter. Acclaimed as the leading eco-friendly luxury saloon with a petrol engine, S 400 HYBRID redefines the technological standards of the luxury sedan and becomes the first series-production vehicle with hybrid drive powered by a lithium-ion battery. With this particularly efficient battery, S 400 HYBRID achieves incomparably low CO2 emissions, while also producing a high performance. The arrival of Mercedes-Benz S 400 HYBRID demonstrates that luxury, power, safety and environmental compatibility can indeed be reconciled, thereby disproving the claim that eco-friendliness can only be achieved by small cars.
