New (2014) Mercedes S-Class highlights on video

The new Mercedes S Class (pictured) boasts a wealth of technology

The new Mercedes S Class was launched last month as a styling evolution of the current S Class, but with a wealth of new safety and technology systems lurking under its, still familiar, skin.

The S Class may be portrayed as a bit of a ‘Merchant Bankers’ car, but anyone who’s lived with one for any period of time will know there’s really nothing quite like it (well, if you ignore the mistake that was the W220 S Class), and now Mercedes has got its quality Mojo back, the W221 is once again a very special S Class, and the new W222 promises to be even more special. We know that the 2014 S Class will get a range of engines from frugal 4-cylinder to potent V12 – with engines to suit all in between – but whatever engine you choose there will be a raft of technology at your fingertips (some at extra cost depending on the model you buy), so Mercedes has been busy producing a ‘Story’ video highlighting much of the new S-Class’s tech.

There’s a focus on safety technology in the video, but we get highlights of the Ambient Lighting, Air Balance Package, Magic Body Control, Rear Suite, Energizing Massage Seats, Pre-Safe Brakes, Distronic, Stop&Go Pilot, BAS Plus, Active Blind Spot Assist, LEd Lights and much, much more. It seems the new S Class can even find you space to park exactly where you want to be.

It’s a slick overview of some of the new S Class’s technology highlights, and makes you start to wish you actually were a Merchant Banker.
