Mercedes-Benz S-Class buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The S-Class keeps a straightforward local proposition: one rear-driven, 509 hp plug-in hybrid saloon with five seats. Its price is higher than the Mercedes-Benz EQS, BMW 7 Series and BMW i7, but lower than the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS. The 2026 facelift gives the W223 a stronger technology brief through MBUX Superscreen and updated suspension hardware, though buyers should confirm the exact Malaysian S 580 e specification.
