The updated S-Class sports a massive new grille, which is the most noticeable change. The new grille is taller and more aggressive than the current model’s grille, and it gives the car a much more commanding presence.

The new S-Class also features a redesigned front bumper, which is sportier and more aerodynamic than the current model’s bumper. The new front bumper is also equipped with a smaller central intake, which gives the car a more streamlined look.
The rear of the new S-Class has also been updated, with a new rear bumper and updated taillights. The new rear bumper is sportier and more aerodynamic than the current model’s bumper, and it gives the car a more athletic look. The new taillights are sleeker and more modern than the current model’s taillights, and they give the car a more luxurious look.
The interior of the new S-Class has also been updated, with a new dashboard that features a Hyperscreen display. The new dashboard is sleeker and more modern than the current model’s dashboard, and it gives the car a more futuristic look. The new dashboard is also equipped with a front passenger screen, which is now in vogue.
The new S-Class will be available with an assortment of engines, including a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six developing 442 hp (330 kW / 448 PS) and 413 lb-ft (559 Nm) of torque.
