There was a list of differences posted when the model was new.
The US models do not have the speedtronic speed limiter, manual transmission program appears on AMG models only (at least not on baseline I believe), at some point rear door child locks were missing, I guess this has changed now? Side markers are more of the km/h versus mph issue.
How about this brake hold, since the car may have Distronic Plus, it must have brake hold too but I did not find it from the US manual, is it named differenly?

So the SWB is higher? Pre-facelift is the same?

No, the LWB height is the same, pre and post facelift. The point in the dimensions figure is that those are for standard options, the LWB model does not have sunroof standard which makes the front interior more spacey.Originally Posted by Armadillo888

Wow, interesting, the SWB has more headroom. If you notice the roof of the SWB is a little rounder, and the windshield seems slightly less raked, the B-Pillars also seem less raked (maybe these are just illusions I'm seeing?), and the roof seems a bit more upright.
If the U.S had a SWB S550, I'd be all over it.
