S-Class W223 [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223)

[Sniper]

Yeah, it doesn't look good in this color.

No, I do not agree, it does not look good not because of color, but because of poor design

It's a taxi cab spec in a terrible color with terrible wheels, but I expect these comments.

On these pics I don´t get it why they made this bad hood shut line

The 222 looks more S-Class, it looks more expensive, aristocratic. The 223 looks more sporty and with the rear too much like an A8/7er (because of their horizontal 2-piece rear lights).

One of if not the most evolutionary S-Class generation transitions ever. Pertaining to exterior design, of course.

What a beauty the W222.

I would love to see what W222 owners have to say about W223.

And I say this , because I really like the W223 interior. And W222 is not as perfect as many of you think. It had issues also (design wise)

My W222 does a whistle when I open 1cm of any front window. My dash is misaligned with the door trim ( from the pictures I see that W223 is not) . The front chairs squeak . The rear windows + rear boot buttons are broken ( I see that W223 do not have classic buttons anymore for this ) .

And other small quirks that are really annoying from time to time . In 7 years , I got used to most , but I am looking forward to change it with W223.

we r hungry for more non-official pics

You can always expect them on nowhere but on here.
And here I come up with another "problem"..

 

[MAJESTIC]

Out of curiosity, how would you describe the execution in the W222 then?

Flawless. Different from the 223 by a small margin but both accomplish the same goal of a sense of occasion.

Not by choice. A lot of automakers are forced to add high profile tires to cope with horrible roads.

Which do you prefer? W222 or W223? I’m torn . The W222 still looks boss. Will wait to pass judgement once I see the W223 IRL

That is true. In some cases the manufacturers even raise the ride height.

I think the W116 > W126 takes that cake but certainly more evolutionary than the last few. I love how imposing the front end is on the W223 though.

The W126 appears to me as being a forerunner of the wedged, longer bonnetted, cabin back design paradigm. Arguably a bit less frivolous with its' "Sacco Plank" flank protection and plastic front and rear skirts. Regardless-both the W116 as well as W126 were highly influential automobiles that served as frames of reference for many later large automobiles. They were both miles ahead of their relative competition-perhaps in a manner that has not been replicated since.

I love those vents

Both yes and no. The tail lights are not quintessentially Mercedes like the vertical lights on the W222. I think the same of the slim headlights. However I welcome the change.

Two generations with 8 to 10 years of difference between them and with the same wheels, other times

I prefer the W221 . Joking aside, I would have to wait to see the 223 at the dealership to make a final judgement, but in pictures and video it shows as stunning. The 222 still looks amazing and I actually prefer the pre face lifted version. The 223 just has such a high-tech futuristic look to it that I really like and (for right now) wouldn’t be confused with a C-Class.

I want a W140 with W223 interior and tech
