The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a series of
luxury sedans produced by German automaker
Mercedes-Benz , a division of German
company Daimler AG. The classification was
officially introduced in 1972 with the W116 S-
Class, which succeeded previous Mercedes-
Benz models dating to the mid-1950s. The S-
Class has served as the flagship model for
Mercedes for over fifty years in its various
incarnations. The S-Class has debuted many
of the company's latest innovations, including
drivetrain technologies, interior features, and
safety systems (such as the first seatbelt
pretensioners). [1] The S-Class has ranked as
the world's best-selling luxury sedan, [2] and
its latest generation, the W222 S-Class,
premiered in 2013. As in previous iterations,
the W221 S-Class is sold in standard- and
long-wheelbase versions; I4 , V6 , V8 , V12 ,
diesel and hybrid powertrains are offered. All
models built in Mexico or sold in the United
States are only available in long wheelbase.
" S-Class " is the anglicized version of "S-
Klasse," a German abbreviation of
" Sonderklasse, " which means "special
class" (in the sense of "a class of its own").
In automotive terms it refers to "a specially
outfitted car." Although used colloquially for
decades, following its official application in
1972, six generations of officially named S-
Class sedans have been produced. Previous
two-door coupe models of the S-Class were
known as SEC and later S-Coupe. In 1998 the
S-Class coupe was spun off in a separate line
as the CL-Class , however it will be re-
designated as the S-Coupe for the W222
model coupes.
