I was initially told that the 2018 S-class coupe would be a short run and the 2019 would be available in spring 2018. Obviously that didn't happen.
I was then told the 2019 models would be available 3rd quarter 2018. Obviously that didn't happen either.
Lastly: I was told the 2019 S-class coupe would be available for order in December 2018. All this information was from the dealer.
Question: Does anyone know if/when the 2019 S-class coupe and brochure will be available?
Thanks in advance for any creditable information.

I can contribute this...I placed an order for a 2019 S 560 Coupe back in July for European Delivery on October 16, 2018 in Sindelfingen and received confirmation of the order and a VIN number earlier this week. The car has been confirmed completed as of earlier today and is awaiting pickup.

One other tidbit to throw into the information bin…The car was ordered with Premium Package "01", which was to have included the heads up display and this was confirmed on the original order sheet. However, when I received the final order documentation earlier this week, the premium package no longer included the heads up display and is now discounted $800, from $3500 to $2700. I have confirmed with Mercedes through my salesman that the heads up display is not currently available either in the package or as a standalone option and is on indefinite worldwide backorder. Disappointing, but not a deal killer.

Rad 22, Thank you for your input. I understand that factory(German) deliveries are possible and the S-class coupe is now available in Australia. However, should one view the M-B website you will see that they still promote the 2018 model and no mention of the 2019. Further my dealer says December is the only date they have for DOMESTIC availability/delivery.
I would appreciate any information anyone could provide about DOMESTIC (US) availability/delivery of a 2019 S-class coupe.
Thanks in advance .

I'm not sure if this is helpful because I ordered a '19 cabriolet, not coupe, but mine was ordered mid-May and has been sitting at the VPC in Baltimore since early September waiting to be "released".

jsdhade,
Thanks for your input. I can only say "have patience grasshopper". My 2017 cabriolet took 7 months from the time I ordered until delivery.
Checking the M-B website they still only promote the 2018 version of the 560, S63 & 65 coupe.
Any other input is appreciated.
Thanks again.

This isn't the first time HUDs have been restricted. I think for the coupes available units are preferentially allocated to the S63/65, as it is standard equipment on those cars.

I've had the DOG for MY2019 S Coupes for a while, other than a price increase and new carbon fiber steering wheel option, I don't think there were any changes from 2018. I know MB does not officially release production numbers, but seems S Class coupe is being made in far fewer numbers than in 2015-2017.

Mercedes would be wise to add some of the new AMG GT 4-door features to the aging S63 C217 - particularly the U88 AMG Drive Unit steering wheel buttons, the 630HP tune on the M178, electronic LSD, active rear wheel steering, and executive rear seat package. The GT console and shifter would be nice too, I've never liked the steering column shift.

DCT would be nice too but that's obviously verboten since they recycled the same MCT 9-speed auto in the GT 4-door, unlike the GT/GTS/GTC/GTR.

I'd like to replace my 2015 with a new one, but given the overall minor changes that have been made since then, I'll either hold off until the next model is released and order new, or trade for a pre-owned 2018+ that has already depreciated.

jbattan,
If you would sir, please explain the term " open a ticket with them on the web". I am not familiar with the term nor what action I should take. Also, what response I could expect from MBUSA? Your response is greatly appreciated.

ron104

Heisenberg,
Thank you for your reply.
Are you recommending that I place my order for a S-class even though 2019 brochures are not available and MBUSA website continues with 2018 model information?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Can't advise on that. All I know is there is no substantive change from 2018>2019, and you can probably save money if you find a suitable 2018 in some dealer's inventory. Even better if a CPO pops up from a trade-in or early lease surrender. The car will be the same either way.

MBUSA website in my experience doesn't update until right before and even sometimes after the cars begin to show up. I"ve been checking it too and wouldn't be surprised if it were another couple months before the 2019 model and pricing is posted. The German Mercedes Benz side updates much, much quicker - for instance they have had the GT 4-door configurator online for a while now, yet it's still listed as a "future vehicle" on MBUSA.

Heisenberg,
Thank you for your cogent advice. It was most valuable to me as I am only a recent (2017) MB owner and appreciate your sharing of MBUSA knowledge.

MBUSA site has been updated for the 2019 models

At least for the S63, no changes from 2018 except for small price increase and new carbon/DINAMICA steering wheel option
