Is it ugly though ?

 

[GTA45E]

You don't need 200 buttons, you need a few and the rest of the functions can be relegated to the main screen. Both the Panamera and the Continental GT have nailed this and managed to do something so much more beautiful then a huge vertical screen.

^Clueless

The Panamera and Bentley CGT don`t have the customization features or advancements of the S.
The S-Class is the most interactive production vehicle on the planet right now. It is very close to being a cyborg on 4-wheels.
The vertical screen offers choices in logical menu configurations and luxury features, some which are not found of the Flying Spur or Panamera.

The fact that you called me clueless and went on to write that post is frankly hilarious.

[Mr. Mercedes]

I find this photo particularly fetching.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Personally, I am no longer a fan of owning a fresh first year model anyway.

I never was, Luke. My philosophy with new cars is, wait one, better yet two years.
Must say, it was quite an ordeal for you, with your new G.

I have a fried who's driving only S classes for the last 30 years and his leitmotiv is: wait always for the facelift.

Yet , before you post something stupid AGAIN , I will let you know that the future of Porsche is button-less . You posted the Panamera , yet you did not post the flagship future-proof Taycan , who is almost all button-less...

Here you go a picture. Go count the buttons

Do you have some sort of reading comprehension problem ?

Did I at any point say anything at all about the future of Porsche? No, I didn’t, I was making the point that even today it’s possible to have buttons in the center console and make it look beautiful.

Maybe instead of counting buttons, you should be counting neurons.

I for one will be glad when we can see the car in person. The bark blue picture above looks absolutely bland, just meh. Nothing special from the outside. I have no allegiance to this or any other brand and this car was indeed on my short list. I am hoping it looks special in person.

MB Passion describes the rear seat options a bit.

THE S-CLASS REAR: A KEY SUCCESS FACTOR

Especially with the rear, the S-Class has been scoring for generations. The new edition in the 223 series offers new features not seen before. In addition to the rear airbag for more safety, the new generation also enriches the seats with more visual and tangible intelligence.

Compared to the previous 222 series - each in the long version V223 / V222 - the knee room in the rear increased by 19 mm and is now at least 197 mm or 218 mm at maximum. The headroom is now an additional 8 or 16 mm - depending on the scope of equipment with a full roof or reduced with a sliding roof - at 1,003 or 974 mm. The elbow room has increased by 11 mm to 1,572 mm.

Three seat variants - Executive seat with a continuous lying surface and legrest

In the seat variants, the standard bench is rigid and has three seats in the rear with a backrest angle of the outer seats of 27 degrees (30 degrees in the middle, not adjustable). The headrests are adjustable and retractable, the center armrest is foldable.

With the equipment of the electrically adjustable rear seats, the outer comfort seats are electrically adjustable, the front passenger seat can also be adjusted from the rear. The seats by the windows can be adjusted from 19 to 37 degrees, the middle seat remains at 30 degrees (not adjustable).

The executive seat (code 453) on the passenger side (long version V223 only) creates a continuous lying surface with an electrically extendable leg rest. The outer seats can be adjusted between 19 and 43.5 degrees, while the center seat is still not adjustable at 30 degrees.

Chauffeur package

With the chauffeur package (P07), the front passenger seat can be electrically moved and tilted further, with 77 mm more maximum knee room compared to the standard setting (foldable headrest, heel support). With the seat comfort package in the rear with multicontour seats and massage function, neck and shoulder heating is also available in the rear (322).

First-class rear in the 4-seater configuration

A 4-seater configuration is created with the first-class rear (224) including a continuous business console and other options such as folding tables (449). Among other things, the armrest contains a shelf for the separately bookable MBUX rear tablet (447) and a classy decorative element in black glass look. In the 4-seater S-Class in particular, the occupant can determine what they want at the moment according to their personal rhythm: a multifunctional work environment or a lot of privacy with pleasant tranquility.

The rear can also be upgraded, among other things. through the rear airbag (code 302), which protects the occupants in the rear like a front airbag - only at the rear. Other features include the ENERGIZING rear package (PBT) or the MBUX High End Rear Entertainment (854) and the new Burmester High-End 4D Surround Sound System (811) with exciters in the outer rear seats.

Extensions include the MBUX rear tablet, which can also be used as a remote control for certain functions, or the warmth comfort package with heated armrests, THERMOTRONIC in the rear or climate control on the rear seats. Designer belt buckles are also available, as are beltbags (as in the 222 series) on the outer seats.

Depending on which seat variant or equipment is ordered, a practical armrest or a continuous business center console for the rear is distinctive. Further equipment:

• folding rear center armrest with double cupholder and decorative element, with electrically adjustable with rear seats including memory function (223)
  • expandable with wireless charging for mobile phones in the rear (898)
  • 2 additional and quick-charging USB-C ports under the rear center armrest, in combination with USB package Plus (72B)
  • accepts the MBUX rear tablet (447) on request
• Continuous business center console with black glass-look trim, cup holders with double temperature control and storage compartment below the armrest, in combination with First-Class Fond (224)
  • Integrated wireless charging for mobile phones in the rear (898), optionally with alternative smartphone position in the rear (326)
  • 4 fast-charging USB-C ports in the storage compartment
  • Storage space for optional MBUX rear tablet (447)
  • Expandable with folding tables in the rear (449), business telephony in the rear (856), cooling compartment (308) or ashtray inserts in the front and rear in the storage compartments as well as cigarette lighter in the rear (301) ( when choosing the 230 V socket in the rear (U67) no 2 USB-C ports)

Don´t think this is true nowadays. They are aiming at high quality right from the start of series production.

Interesting how the 19” wheels are looking small on the W223, although they are 19”.
Looking almost like 16” on a W220.

It is because of the wheel arc

There's no point in having a car like that without the right wheels, it doesn't look good.

[J.E]

Looks like the backseat will be a hot place to be...

It's terrible that the S-class still doesn't come with rear climate control.
