The default choice for the discerning buyer who wants the best German luxury car available, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been designed to exceed expectations no matter how lofty they may be. Hit up YouTube and you’ll see videos of how the car has been meticulously developed over the years, with no expense spared on ensuring that it’s as refined, comfortable and technologically capable as humanly possible. Today’s 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580 4MATIC thus comes from a legacy that spans over sixty years of development, and is a seventh-generation model.
Exterior and Interior
This W223 generation 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580 4MATIC looks suitably restrained and sophisticated in its black suit, showcasing the sheer length of the car which enables its impressive interior space offering. The car features some chrome detailing on the window lines and of course, the front grille. It’s got LED headlamps, silver multi-spoke alloy wheels and twin tailpipes out back. Overall, this is a car that won’t attract too much attention, but one that will nevertheless be known as an automotive tour de force. The interior of this 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580 4MATIC continues the black theme with soft leather-upholstered seating and fine wood trim. The front seats are power adjustable, heated and ventilated. There’s dual-zone automatic climate control with rear passenger air vents too. Then, you’ve got a digital gauge cluster, a wood and leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel with touch pads, a full MBUX infotainment interface, a Burmester speaker system and plenty of USB charging ports. Automatic rear window sunshades, DISTRONIC, cruise control, automatic parking and a front plus rear sun roof are present too. Pop the trunk and you’ll find a cavernous cargo space too, highlighting this car’s abilities as a long-distance cruiser.
