2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG S 63

The S-Class is the most luxurious coupe, convertible and sedan Mercedes-Benz offers. It has been providing discerning buyers with unparalleled levels of sophistication, refinement and class for decades. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is available in five models: S 500, S 560, S580, AMG S 63 and Maybach S 580. Each model is set apart by their engine, with the AMG model driving performance to the upper limits. The S 500 is powered by a turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder engine making 429 horsepower, while the S 560 employs a turbocharged 4.0L V8 producing 463 horsepower. The AMG S 63 gets a significant increase in performance, powered by a 4.0L turbocharged V8 making 603 horsepower and 664 lb-feet of torque. The Maybach S 580 tops the lineup with a 4.0L turbocharged V8 with 496 horsepower and 516 lb-feet of torque. The S-Class sends power to the wheels through a 9-speed multi-clutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmission offering multiple driving modes. Rear-wheel drive is only available in the S 560, while all other models come standard with the Mercedes 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The S-Class S 500 is a hybrid combining the 4L engine with an electric motor for 450 horsepower. Fuel economy is obviously markedly improved over other models, even though it is a large car. Standard features include LED exterior lighting, panorama roof, wood/leather steering wheel, heated power leather seats, soft-close doors, dual-zone climate control, cabin fragrance system, 12.3-inch instrument cluster, Burmester surround sound system, 12.3-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Sirius XM, navigation and inductive wireless charging.

Safety takes center stage in the S-Class, once again. As part of a Driver Assistance Package, prospective buyers can add the DISTRONIC PLUS radar-based cruise control, PRE-SAFE autonomous braking, the PRE-SAFE PLUS rear-facing radar warning system, BAS PLUS with Cross Traffic Assist (using stereoscopic cameras to help prevent an accident), Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Protection.
