2020 S560 4Matic
S500 Straight 6 petrol turbo with 48V electric super charger mild hybrid design is plenty fast for us. Could have had the V8 if we wanted; picked the 6 for ease of repair if needed and its silky smooth running. Also we did not want any engine with cylinder de-activation included in it's design Don't get me wrong, we like German engineered V8's and still own a S500 4-Matic wagon. The V8 is easier to drive however, by that I mean the transmission downshifts less as the V8 has more torque so keeping the vehicle at speed take less thought with the gas peddle position.
I would think the 4 wheel steering would be more stable at high speed on the curves and lane changes but I'm not sure at what top speed, if any, it may cut out.
251 kph (155 mph) how fast do you need to go?

hi I have seen them both that is the SWB and the LWB but have only driven the SWB and have done that now on 3 occassions. I found that it had ample and smooth power and for me I wouldnt want the LWB. i have stated before that i would have difficulty fitting it in my garage and besides it would be my daily driver and most of the time i do not carry rear seat passengers.In fact the S500 in Canada is only sold in SWB. My difficulty is that my name is on the next S500 that should be arriving in April but I will not take the car unless it has the multi contour seats and head up AR..i believe it has the latter but even my dealer can not confirm 100% that it will have the seats. If it does not have the features that I want I will pass on it and wait until they are avaialble. My current lease is up in August and if I have to extend it I will. The dealer is ok with all of this.Incidentally the S 500 that has my name on it is Obsidian Black with a black interior. It also has the 4.5 degree rear wheel steering and the digital light package ..

Just ordered my first S class this week. I wonder if I”ll see it this Summer. Too much going on in this world to know for sure. I settled on solid black and sienna interior. It”ll be my new daily in good weather. Really excited to drive it.

Thanks for the comments. So just finishing my order. I can’t order the 4D Hifi only the 3D which is 16 speaker model.
Pretty annoying as I really wanted it. My question is how are you all liking the 3D system is it still a good system.??
I went for the S580L obsidian/ Beige. 4 wheel steer , and fully loaded apart from the Hifi.

I think the base system is perfectly acceptable for the average person.

Low end bass isn't great. It gets very loud without distortion. Treble is a little bright for my ears. The highest end stock setup I've had was in my 2018 LS500 with I believe 20 something speakers and 1000+ watt amp. That sound quality was actually comparable to the base system in my S580.

[QUOTE=johndong888;8388860]Finally had time to pick it up last week. Augmented reality was really cool. All the active LEDs definitely tickle my fancy. Took it straight out to the track.

Looks great. What are the wheel code.? Also are you happy with the Hifi system. Thanks a lot.

Got delivery of my S450 in HCM City Vietnam. Unfortunately we do not get 4matic in Vietnam (which sucks given you are shelling out close to USD300k). We also just get a smaller HUD unit.

And how come a smaller size HUD? I suppose the size of the HUD is the same for the S-class. Any pic?
BTW, is your S450 a SWB or LWB?

I get my car back in 2 days and will take a pic for you then but basically the HUD does not have the trailing light blue arrows of this diagram.
All S class in Vietnam are long wheel base as standard

I understand now. What you are referring to is when navigating, at times the center screen will display the front view camera and interlayed symbols for navigation (light blue directional arrow, etc. ). I’ll try and take a pic and share.
