S-Class (W223) Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223) Facelift 2024

The GLS and X7 are no competition to the S/7er in terms of quality, comfort, driving characteristics, etc.

With the exception of the Maybach GLS with E-ABC and with white interior, otherwise you still have lots of MBTEX inside the car.

And this need to change. The GLS should be twinned with the S from here on. No visible relation to the GLE.

The E-class and GLE should merge their tech and interiors and the same with the GLS and S-class. Making the GLS a 7-seater version of the GLE is not good for its image. Many cars from US (Lincoln Navigator/Cadillac Lyriq) and China are even better inside than the GLS, the next model needs to go upmarket alot.

Reshaping the bodywork means significant expense. This is not the case with a facelift.

It's a facelift. Don't know what you are trying to say here.

Looks as if the wrap was inspired by someone .

Yes by a guy that used to drag cars with flames on the bonnet lol

It looks like the rear bumper and exhaust on the MOPF S-class is unchanged. It would have been nice if they actually fitted proper exhaust outlets like Audi and BMW are doing.

Unless the camo is very misleading, the shape of the tail lights looks quite a lot different between the two.

Just good camo.

The headlights and tail light will be 100% compatible for a retrofit

Nice camo

Another thing they sorted out is the standard front bumper. The current W223 front bumper looks pathetic.

The facelift S580 gets the M177 V8 from the S63 with 517ps, basically an AMG tweener.
Most likely, the facelift gets better driving dynamics. There are some big changes coming to the S-Class.

The M177 V8 in the S580 should get a power boost to at least 400kw (544PS) and torque to 800nm to match that of the BMW 760i available in the US.

Don't really think thats necessary. 525PS is easily enough. And unlike the 760i, there is an S63 that sits above both the 760i and the i7 M70.

What they need to do, is balance the S63 more towards comfort.
