Could be Better	Low ground clearance. Expensive. Too big for urban driving.	Lacks driving pleasure. Limited engine choices. Expensive.

2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class First Drive Review

By Abhishek Nigam3 years ago

The art of making consistently brilliant cars is a difficult one and no one does it better than Mercedes-Benz, particularly with the S-Class which is incidentally also known as ‘the best car in the world’. With each new generation the S-Class brought in benchmark technology that placed it a step ahead of the competition every time. The car is question here isn’t a new generation car but a facelift of the W222 model. So you get minor updates on the outside, new features and technology and more importantly two new engines.
