The 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class ranks 1 out of 6 Super Luxury Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, as well as reliability and safety data.

Opulent, powerful, packed with technology and now available in a coupe, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is one of the finest luxury cars on the market, according to critics.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 comes with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, and reviewers agree that it provides forceful acceleration in town and on the interstate. A seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard. All-wheel drive is optional. The S550 gets an EPA-estimated 17/26 mpg city/highway, which is in line for the class. The S-Class is also available with a hybrid powertrain and a V12 engine, in additional to the high-performance S63 AMG and S65 AMG trims. Though critics say the S-Class is a large, comfort-oriented sedan with light steering, they think it feels fairly agile while cornering. Test drivers report that AMG models are noticeably more nimble, and models equipped with the Magic Body Control system allow you to glide over bumpy roads in absolute comfort.
