Mercedes-Benz S-Class Comparison

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the brand’s flagship luxury sedan, aimed at buyers who want limousine-grade comfort, technology and presence in a traditional three-box body. A substantially updated model is available to order in Australia ahead of a November 2026 local launch, bringing bolder exterior styling and a choice of updated six- and eight-cylinder engines. It remains a car for executive transport, long-distance touring and private buyers seeking a highly refined cabin experience, with the emphasis on quiet progress, effortless performance and rear-seat comfort. In Australia it sits at the top of the Mercedes-Benz passenger-car range, above the E-Class, with the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class due to follow in the first half of 2027 for those wanting an even more opulent take on the formula.
