Mercedes Benz S-Class Coupe

The fact that the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is a German car makes it quite clear that you can only get top-notch fit and finish interior. And another fact that it is an S-Class adds opulence in the flawless cabin. Stepping into the S-Class Coupe is like traveling into a totally different world. There is luxury everywhere you look, and everything you touch. The level of refinement is jaw-dropping.

The latest S-Class Coupe gets a sporty three-spoke steering wheel with elegant chrome highlights and touch-control buttons. The wide display behind the steering wheel that starts from one end of the dashboard and continues till the halfway is mesmerizing. There is also Mercedes 'me connect Concierge Service' which offers personal support via phone, recommends, advises, makes reservations and much more.

The cabin of the S-Class Coupe is extremely quiet. Mercedes has done an incredible job of keeping the NVH levels at bay. It is so quiet that you are just listening to the sound of silence if there is such a sound. While you will always want to be in the driver’s seat of this sporty car, it is worth mentioning that the rear seats here offer a decent amount of space for adults.

It is said that looks are subjective. Well, they are not if we are talking about the S-Class Coupe. We mean that this car is exceptionally astonishing that there is no arguing about how it looks. The front end is extremely sporty and elegant, featuring a new radiator grille with the brand’s Tristar Logo sitting right in the middle. The uniquely designed high-performance LED headlights not only look great but work wonders in a dark environment. The hood is quite long to hide the gigantic V8 underneath. It also has got very finely chiseled lines to channel air as required to keep the coefficient of drag as low as possible.

The overall profile of the S-Class Coupe is low-down to keep it as aerodynamically efficient as possible. It also helps in giving the car a very sporty character and stance. The side profile is highlighted by the smoothly curved roof-line and the two dynamic character lines. Making the car more appealing from this view are the striking alloy wheels.

Moving to the rear end of the S-Class Coupe, the first thing that is going to grab your attention will be the pair of arresting LED tail lights. These aren’t just any LEDs but are the result of Mercedes’ innovative OLED technology. Then we also get a rear spoiler that is silently integrated into the boot lid.

Like we mentioned earlier, the cabin of the S-Class Coupe is very quiet. It is also very comfortable thanks to the properly contoured seats. Also, the AIRMATIC suspension setup on this car is a blessing. It adapts to the road surface automatically providing a plush ride. The car literally glides over the potholes.

Mercedes also implemented its MAGIC BODY CONTROL technology in the S-Class Coupe. This gives the car a curve tilting function that kicks in whenever you take a corner. It makes sure that the car stays planted at all times without compromising on the comfort level. Even though the S-Class Coupe is very much capable of being driven like a proper sports car, but it feels so much more at home when it is being driven on open highways. It is like a proper sports tourer.

The top-of-the-line car gets a similar engine under its long hood. Powering the S-Class Coupe is the 4.0-liter V8 bi-turbo engine that has got 612 horses and a ground-breaking 900 Nm of torque. This comes mated to 9-speed automatic transmission. The S-Class Coupe is capable of achieving the 0-100 km/h mark in just 3.5 seconds. This is made possible not only by the powerful engine but also the advanced aerodynamic design, blazing-fast gearbox, and the AIRMATIC suspension.

Apart from the usual safety nets like airbags, the S-Class Coupe comes with many other unique safety features. It gets Active Speed Limit Assist, Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist, and Head-up Display.

Then there is the Driving Assistance Package that includes DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist, Active Steering Assist, Evasive Steering Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, and what not.

Oh wait, there is more, a PRE-SAFE system. It continuously evaluates sensor data from other systems, such as the Electronic Stability Program and Brake Assist, and can identify scenarios such as heavy over or understeer and emergency braking. Depending on the equipment level, the front-passenger seat is moved into a more favorable position for the event of a collision, and the air chambers at the sides of the multi-contour seats are inflated in order to hold the occupants more firmly.

The S-Class Coupe ticks all the right boxes of being a grand sports car. It has a superior and energetic engine and a fast gearbox. It is loaded with advanced and latest technologies to offer safer travel and highest comfort. It has the looks to die for and a cabin from which you wouldn’t want to get out of. The S-Class Coupe is a car for a complete enthusiast. Mercedes has yet again created a masterpiece here. Of course, it is an expensive one but you really get a lot for the money.
