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

[Serpens]

I am surprised that the facelift doesn't have electrically assisted doors. It's increasingly a common option - even for the full fat range rover.

Heated seatbelt is a nice touch. I also like that rear screens have webcams for Microsoft teams meetings. For some people, the sclass is used as a mobile office.

Mercedes isn’t too keen on this. The EQS has electrically assisted opening and closing front doors but they seemingly aren’t in a rush to take that further.

Just another failure point. I’m glad they’re not pushing it this time.

I think the Maybach has it.

I think the Maybach has it.

Of course for the rear doors, even with the gesture wave, but I don’t see the point really of the driver and front passenger doors, where a quick entry/exit becomes delayed each time.

I had a i7 for a weekend and I found it to be a solution for something no one thought was a problem in the first place.

I love the looks. Mercedes should consider themselves lucky they have enough goodwill that the flaws will be largely excused.

Agreed. I hate the fact that I find it so desirable despite the obvious design issues. The fundamental underlying qualities of the S-class remain.

And these new manufactur interior and exterior combinations are just delicious:

The standard look is better. The ridiculous black strip on the grille is still a pain in the eye.

That's hilarious, the video title contradicts the video's content.

M177 EVO

I’ve driven Mercedes’ new shape-shifting V8 engine, and it’s blown my mind | Evo

Mercedes is keeping the V8 alive through the use of some very clever engineering, and it’s coming to the next generation of AMG products

It remains to be seen what this engine will do in AMG models.

The live state of the console design doesn't look bad.

Did you hear the sound of the V8 in this S580?

After seeing quite a number of S-class videos with different colours and trim, my overall impression of the FL S-class is it seems to be a jack of all trades. The exterior looks fantastic in mostly all the colours shown, whether its a red AMG car with night package or a grey avangarde with chrome intakes on the bumpers or even this black with chrome and smaller 18 or 19inch wheels.

The interior is a mixed bag. It has some items that look brilliant, like I love the stitched leather on the doors, the center console wood trim and the seats with the diamond quilting as well as the Burmeister speaker covers. The interior colour with cream or white with a similar coloured leather wheel looks extremely smart and luxurious and the Manufaktur colours to me is a must as it makes the interior look much more expensive.

Its the small details that let it down. The black piano black trim on the doors sticks out on the door like a sore thumb, the superscreen design with ultra thick bezels will date very quickly and the black piano plastic used for the venter surrounds front and back looks cheap. The steering wheel design also is looking dated, I dont like those capacitive buttons and the regular wheel looks cheap with the piano black plastic spokes.

I guess we all hope and pray the W224 S-class will be something special and lift Mercedes up to be a great luxury car brand again and give its rivals in Germany and China a serious beating.

This article is sh!t and below the exacting standards of EVO of old.

Let's read what is written here:

The M177 Evo features a special exhaust crankshaft mounted to a magnetic actuator, which is designed to offset its position at startup and below 3000rpm purely to replicate the uneven exhaust flow of a crossplane crank engine. At higher revs, the crankshaft will switch back to its typical flat-plane crank position to take advantage of the efficiency benefits

crankshaft should be written as camshaft FFS. Magnetically actuated crankshaft - yassus.

I was confused reading it.
Once is a typo.... But this is quite poor.
