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

[mr.Mister]

Bu videoda W223 S Sınıfı'nın düşen kalitesi ortaya çıkıyor. Aracın her yerinden bu sınıfa uymayan sesler geliyor. Ne yazık ki W223, tüm S Sınıfları arasında en düşük üretim kalitesine sahip.

DISASTER!!!
what happened with Mercedes-Benz??

 

[Rolf]

Personally, I have problems with the W223 in general.
I think it's the weakest design of all S-classes so far (we've been driving them at home since 1973, so W108, W116, W126, W140, W220, W221).
For me, the W140 is the bossiest S-class, the W220 has the most beautiful cockpit. The W222 is the most perfect S-class in terms of design, especially as a MOPF with the beautiful ''stardust'' graphics at the back - simply superb. My W221 is also a very nice car to me, especially with the AMG package and bulging fenders, it almost looks like a widebody. Also the rear, which slightly resembles a Maybach. I think it will be a nice future classic.

The W223, first of all, doesn't have that 'bossy' presence. The headlights are too narrow and you can easily mistake the car for an E or even a C class from afar. As Dr. Storp (father of most of the newer S-classes) said, "With the W140, the company's ramp rose by itself, because it was known that the boss had arrived."
The biggest mistake is definitely the rear headlights. Gorden Wagener himself said in Canada at the presentation of the W222, "we are the only ones in this segment who have a rear headlight made of one piece - all the other competitors have it made of two pieces." And what does this same Wagener do with the W223? He makes two-piece headlights for it, where the factory is so incompetent that they can't assemble them so that they are horizontal with the chrome strip, which is a shame.
Now you have the rear part practically the same on the W206, W214, W223 - now that the W223 also gets stars in the graphics and certainly the W206, you won't even be able to tell them apart anymore. The interior is the biggest disappointment, first of all in terms of design, as it has 2 identical screens, like the W206, which should never happen for such an expensive car, and above all there is a lot of plastic, cheap plastic, plastic that cracks when touched, squeaks, creaks. For example, how terribly they save, just the control bar for the seats can be: While in the W221 there were buttons made of cold aluminum, for each function its own button - today you have 7 functions on 1 button, which is plastic and in piano lack. Shame.

Nothing like this has ever been in the S-class before and Ola's cost cutting will destroy the soul and image of this brand.

The W223 is realy a big disapointment...its like a Škoda of all S-Classes (but still with a price like all the good build S-Classes had, actually even higher), which should NEVER happen.

Personally I think the W221 S-class had one of the best interiors of any modern S-class. It had the perfect combination of modern tech with old school buttons and controls that were all metal and expensive to the touch. The leather and seat materials were all expensive feeling and the car was built like older Mercedes cars.

Yep, i also think the same.
Althoug i would like to upgrade to an 222/217, i'm aware, that even the 222 is not as good build as the 221 was. You can see it on the inferior leather, which on the 222 is already in much worse condition at the same km as the 221 (on the 223 it is even worse - cracked or already torn leather on the door armrest at, say, only 50,000 km). Then you look at the materials in the new Genesis G90 or the Chinese BYD U7 and you see what inferior build quality the Germans offer us.

Isnt the interior gonna have the EQS layout?

I think it will be more like the W214 E.

@Mr. Mercedes already answered the question and I agree.

Well we'll see what they look like in 10 years with 150k miles on the clock.

so same like EQS lol

E CLASS

EQS

 

[Kukobana]

@Jacke The W214 and EQS have similar-looking interiors, but they are different. They also sit differently and the experience is different. In the EQS, the dashboard is too high.

Exactly some comment without experience..

 

[empower77]

Does anyone know the take rate on the 214 regular screen vs super screen?

yes i can see its slightly different but both have the hyperscreen and if it gets translated to the S Class its gonna make it look cheap as hell

 

[Mick Briesgau]

@Jacke I was thinking it will be more like this (W214 superscreen)

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

so same like EQS lol

E CLASS

EQS

The driver display is seperate from the 2 additional displays in the E class with the superscreen. This is different to the hyperscreen equipped EQ models, where all 3 displays are integrated into one panel. Its not apparent in the photos, but this, probably along with the traditional platform, means the E class maintains a more traditional driving position and a less bulky dash.

The EQs suffer from a high dashboard line and drivers display that creates an impression of reduced visibility.

@Jacke I was thinking it will be more like this (W214 superscreen)

Ok,this is a lot better. Do we now that theyre using this for the S Class tho

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

EQE hyperscreen

E class standard screen

E class superscreen

S class

The S dashboard will most likely accommodate a superscreen like the one optionally available in the E class.

 

[leylandi]

E class standard screen

what

This is an old and poor rendering of the interior before Mercedes presented the official interior photos of the w214

Hahaha thanks mate. Copied an incorrect image.

 

[Ghost1]

lol here it is. The same glued iPad bs for a driver . I was hoping for the long horizontal dash like in the new Escalade.

 

[Ghost1]

Now this is how it should be done. The horizontal dash looks so much better.
