Very little if you look for the technical explanation but in real life the cars differ quite a bit as many features included in the base price of the S560 are chargeable options in the S450.
The DOG (dealer ordering guide) is a good starting point...

Other than the engine the only thing that is really worth mentioning is the S450 only comes with Airmatic vs the S560 has MBC on RWD and Airmatic on 4Matic.

in years past, the bigger engine provided for more std equipment over the smaller engine. for 2020 (and only discussing the two sedan variants), this is not the case any more. as was said above, mbc w/curve fx is only available on the 560 (non 4m). everything else on both the 450 and 560 in terms of equipment is identical to each save for the leather. the 450 gets the std leather grade and the 560 gets the nappa leather grade as std. you can upgrade both to the exclusive nappa leather and that will run $4,450 on the 450 and $2,160 on the 560. otherwise, all std and optional equipment mirror each other.

The S450 received better numbers than the S560 to promote the sale of the new model (not because the car retains a higher value). The residual is 5% higher on the 450. 50% vs 45% on the RWD model, 1% less for AWD.
The MF is also a bit better, at a very low .00037 vs .00057 (0.9% vs. 1.37% interest)

I guess I should clarify- it depends on which models they want to move at the time. When I was looking last summer there was a $90 difference between an S450 and S560 with a roughly $9-10k difference in price.

Either way, getting a S560 over a S450 is a no-brainer. The V8 is a better engine than the old V6.
