Key features:

Maintains the desired speed for you.You will be grateful for the convenience of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in flowing and stop-and-go traffic. The system takes the strain off you by automatically adapting your own speed to that of slower-moving vehicles in front. The desired specified distance can be set in several stages.

Maximum seating comfort in the rear: the multicontour seats are impressive not only for providing the optimum seat position. A range of massage programmes ensures that they can also have a revitalising or relaxing effect. Likewise a real boon is the heating system for the neck and shoulder area that is integrated into the additional cushion.

Individual climate comfort for the second seat row: an additional air conditioning system extends THERMOTRONIC to four independently controllable zones. Passengers in the rear can select the desired temperature and ventilation intensity. In addition, the heating or cooling effect can be set even quicker.

With the Chauffeur Package the front passenger seat can be moved significantly further forward, while its EASY ADJUST luxury head restraint can also be folded down. This allows the rear-seat passenger on this side to benefit from a better view of the road, while they can also rest their weary legs on the fold-out footrest behind the front passenger seat.

Identifying the risk of a rear-end collision and activating PRE-SAFE ®. PRE-SAFE® PLUS can identify the risk of a rear-end collision for you, warns the traffic behind you by flashing your rear hazard warning lights, locks the brakes of the stationary vehicle to reduce forward motion and, by extension, minimise the loads acting on the occupants and the risk of secondary collisions. In addition, the reversible PRE-SAFE® seat belt tensioners can be activated immediately before the collision.

Innovative air cushions make travelling in the rear an even safer experience. The  rear airbags are integrated into the backrests of the front seats and deploy in the event of a severe frontal impact. They unfold gently to protect passengers in the outer seats wearing seatbelts against contact with the front seats. In this way the head and neck can be subjected to significantly lower loads.

AIRMATIC combines the advantages of several suspensions in one – choose between comfort and dynamism. The set-up range is particularly impressive. The air suspension provides outstanding ride comfort even on difficult roads or a powerfully sporty performance. Practical: automatic level control according to load.

Superior ride comfort in any situation: E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is a synthesis of comfort, precision and dynamism. Experience the first-class pitch, body roll and shock compensating effects of this modern, fully active suspension – on the motorway or on winding or poor roads.

The rear axle steering offers three advantages: even more superior roadholding, significantly enhanced agility and, last but not least, better manoeuvrability – such as when parking. - The rear axle steering with 10° steering angle adjustment reduces the turning circle by almost two metres. As such the new S-Class almost handles like a compact car when manoeuvring. At higher speeds, on the other hand, you drive with the effortless superiority afforded by the long wheelbase.
