Used Mercedes Benz S-Class 2015 Automatic

The 2015 S-Class has five turbocharged engine options: a V8 with 449 horsepower (S550), a V6 hybrid with 436 horsepower (S550 Plug-In Hybrid), a larger V8 with 577 horsepower (S63 AMG), and a V12 with 523- to 621 horsepower (S600 and S65 AMG, respectively). A seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard; 4Matic all-wheel drive is available. If this sounds like a lot of power, that's because it is. All of these engines are capable of hustling the S-Class from zero to 60 mph in under five seconds, and each provides mammoth passing power on the highway. The seven-speed transmission is a highlight as well; it earns praise for its quick yet smooth gear changes.

Most shoppers will be perfectly happy with the Mercedes-Benz S550 models. These variants offer plenty of muscle, yet they still get decent fuel economy. The S-Class is surprisingly agile and fun-to-drive for a vehicle of its size. The steering is light yet responsive, and the brakes slow the car down with confidence. The S-Class’ ride quality is even more impressive. All models are equipped with an adaptive air suspension (Airmatic), which continuously adjusts to deliver a comfortable ride no matter the road surface. For an even silkier ride, opt for a model outfitted with Magic Body Control. This system can scan the road for bumps and adjust the suspension to minimize their effect.
