The update will be conservative on the exterior IMO. Changing taillights to the current design language and the headlight design is driven by the latest Lighting tech with a different eye brow to make sure its S-class different.
Plus the bigger grill.

Based on Wolfman's previous comment about the chassis, they will be abandoning the 14 year old chassis that underpinned the W221 and W222. Which I would guess will result in a more efficient and better driving car.

I for one, would have liked to have seen something different, rather than just another evolution of the current car with a starship enterprise dash lol. I think a modern rendition of the beloved w126 would have been amazing. I also agree with another poster here (can't recall who it was, that said the w223 looks more and more like an E). I think the S's need to make a separate statment and not just by a larger size and some fancier appointments etc. than their lower class and too close cousins...

Still waiting to see if they can actually tie in the large iPad screen with the dash to give it the luxurious look. Unlike the Tesla or even Ram pick up now. Outside to me is to E class but then again I had a s63. I still miss my 18 S63 but the wind voice drove me nuts. My only thing with the touch screen is now you constantly have to take your eyes off the road. I understand they are pushing you to use hey Mercedes but I also don’t feel like saying that to change the temp ...

Looks like it handles pretty well. Guessing it is lighter than the current car.

Whoa this is a huge departure. I've been critical of other Benz cars in the past only to warm up later but not sure if I can ever come around on this. The rear is a total fail. As for the interior, where to start?
