I thought I'd do a detailed tour on one of the most underrated and unknown cars. I tried to show all the features which people would probably not know even exists.

4 years on and the W222 S-Class still looks the part with many features still lacking on luxury cars today.


Please have a look and let me know what you think.

Thanks very much

Thanks, the video illustrates all but two components that make the V12 such a superior automobile.

1) the engine make a lively noise (voom) at a muted volume (<pianissimo>voom)
2) the engine is so buttery smooth that no V8 will ever satisfy me again.

Thanks for watching. You re 100% correct on the V12. It is a shame that we will probably not see another V12 S-Class. These are a really a drying breed.

Agree.
I bought the 63 because it is more practical for me in Chicago (20k miles/year, a lot of it in snow and rain) with it's superior traction.
However, it does not even come close to 65 in the level of smoothness, refinement and the way it responds (never any hesitation, jerkiness or transmission "confusion") to every throttle input (..and that is the true luxury not just the amount of leather or wood in the interior).

What was the last year of production for the non-Maybach 600?

To be honest I don't even know why they bother trying to make the S-Class a sporty car. Its supposed to be lacked cruiser. Trying to make the car feel all dynamic just ruins the ride quality and its specialness.

To my knowledge they still in production and you can order them with the facelift.

Probably 2017 (but it could have been 2018)

It's amazing that there is a 2015 in my backyard for $62k with 39k miles at my local MB dealer I go to. LOVE THESE S600's! Thanks for the great video showing off all the goodies. Most 2017's for sale are $99k. A bargain to me.

My pleasure. Making this video made my appreciate the car even more when you step back and realise how advanced the S-Class truly is.

Indeed the 2nd hand S600s are a bargain. For the amount of options, tech and comfort you get it still unparalleled. Unfortunately, the bargain prices aren't good for the owners
