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

[dalab]

as soon you entered a Mercedes, you felt like home again.

It depends on what your home is like

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Not when I’m driving.
What about a forrest (with typical sounds in the background like birds singing, a woodpecker or a bumblebee), a beach (seagulls, the surf) or a rainy day (hearing rain and thunder)?
@Mr. Mercedes notice the different colours of the ambient lighting to enhance to the moods.

Beautiful. Thank you for the photos Mick.

I wish we had the opportunity to get this option at the time. It adds another level of ambience.

The W222 facelift had this feature. What's different?

Probably refined the feature and extended ambient lighting.

Hi @Mick Briesgau - can you tell us which driving gloves are you using?

Been thinking about getting myself a pair to make driving bit more pleasurable.

Sure, my pleasure. Mine are from Kessler.

Für feinste Autofahrerhandschuhe gibt es kein schöneres Material als Peccary -Leder. Die charakterische Narbung und der weiche Griff überzeugt nicht…

Do you guys think the FL S-class will debut in September 2024? Exactly 4 years after W223 was introduced. Just another 6 months to go.

Surely we'd see mules if that were the case no?

The S580 is supremely quiet and luxurious inside with the red quilttered leather and headrest pillows. The only fly in the ointment in the current S-class interior is the black shiny trim on the center console, the doors, steering wheel and the buttons/panels. I hope they replace this steering wheel in the FL. They need to use an aluminium or even wood steering wheel and full stitched leather boss cover. For US make 4-zone climate control standard.

Sad to see MB quality is not where it should be. Not even in the mighty S-Class.

The absolute low point are the stalks for the gear stick and turn signal. In a haptical and visible sense. It is all screwed well together though, no squeeks and rattles and stuff like that (at least in my car). Shiny black plastics we see everywhere; Audi, Porsche and BMW.
But those stalks...

Agreed they should be at least aluminium in the S and E classes

What are people's thoughts on the pin striping. Exquisite or yuck?

I like it, especially combined with the tan/beige leather. Don’t think it’s exquisite as such, but the price makes it exquisite. € 3.808 it is more than twice the price of the piano black flowing lines or more than 7 x times the price of burl walnut wood and poplar wood.
