The W224 is not two years away.

It's now E-Class Plus.

Its on a different platform no?
But I thought it was the E class EV that was pulled forwards...?

 

[kiki voinea]

I read the press release. There's nothing new. There are partial updates to the engines. The other features are related to the MBUX computer. We've already seen those.

So...Where are those "over 2700 new parts" ???

 

[Jacke]

This is the best Mercedes interior

How can you go from this to whatever Mercedes has been doing lately

It is from everything we’ve seen. It doesn’t make sense tho for them to introduce it that far in advance of the ICE version. Since they’re supposed to look alike.

Perhaps the urge to get the much maligned EQS off the roster.

It looks stately in black. The rest of the shown colours make the front look tacky. It's interesting what the 7er FL will bring to the table, because no other competitor can endanger the sales success of the S class.

 

[Uygar]

It's funny cause it looked more premium without the facelift, smh.

 

[leylandi]

There's no more wood in the cockpit. S-Class customers will have to settle for the wood in the center console. Pathetic.

 

[Ozy]

This interior is miles ahead of the FL

 

[LaArtist]

I think the king is dead.

No one gives a shit about what you think

 

[Luca]

It's a shame they changed the light control knob, but how does the new button work? What if you need to turn on the low beams, for example?

 

[Merc1]

It’s like hearing dogs bark in the distance.

[empower77]

At least you will be able to take selfies now

 

[klier]

The front and interior are completely butchered, and I don't know which one is worse between the two.
Only thing I like is the new rear lights' shape. The more rounded design suits the car, but then those childish star graphics kinda ruin this new thing too.

Launching in black is funny too. Looks like they full well know they f#cked up.

*sigh*

Not sure about this one…. Maybe it will grow on me in person? The interior is exactly what I feared however.

As time passes, I’m more convinced I should just get a clean and meticulously maintained FL W222 S63/65 even a 560 and not worry about the latest and greatest. Peak modern S-Class imo. This is coming from someone who’s owned a W223 for 3 years and different generations and variants since the early W221s came out.
