Winter driving
So, I’m getting closer to pulling the trigger on replacing my 2010 E350, likely with a 2019 S560 4matic. As my only car, it would be a daily driver year round. I hope that doesn’t sound terribly crazy. I occasionally cringe when thinking about covering this car in snow, sand, and salt.
That all being said, what should I expect for winter driving dynamics. My E350 was a beast through many snow storms, and I’m curious what others have experienced.

My 2015 S550 4Matic behaves very well in the snow. Ground clearance is adequate, traction is excellent. Unfortunately it is a large car and that makes it a bit more difficult around snow banks and in parking lots full of ice.

Don't forget you can raise the car suspension from the center console. It will stay that way unless you go over, I believe 60MPH to keep the car aerodynamic.
