Mercedes-Benz S-Class with ‘new level of comfort’ now available at NBK Auto
Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles, the authorised distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, has presented the new MercedesBenz S-Class.
The new S-Class, which is at the top of Mercedes-Benz’s range of cars, comes with new specifications, technology, comfort and luxury.
The new model “truly reflects the essence of the MercedesBenz motto, ‘The Best or Nothing’, and is available now at the Mercedes-Benz showroom on Salwa Road”, NBK Automobiles has said in a statement.
The new flagship model has been comprehensively modernised and is confirming its role as a technological trailblazer with new engines and enhanced driving assistance systems. The top-of-the-range model of Mercedes-Benz takes another big step towards autonomous driving and elevates Intelligent Drive to the next level. It is the undisputed leader in the premium segment regarding comfort and wellness, setting new standards in the interior. Its precise attention to detail is seen within every corner of the car, from the wood-leather steering wheel to the crystal-look tail lamps.
The new S-Class offers a new level of comfort for the driver and passengers. Thanks to the world-first ‘Energizing’ comfort control feature, the driver and passengers can now link various comfort systems such as climate control and massage functions. The new feature also allows customers to configure
specific wellness set-ups to suit their mood and enhance physical comfort and performance on the road.
The new Mercedes-Benz S 560 boasts of a new V-8 engine that comes to the starting line with 345kW (469hp) and 700Nm. The new bi-turbo engine is among the most economical V-8 petrol engines in the world, and consumes about ten percent less fuel than its predecessor. To lower fuel consumption, four cylinders of the new V-8 are simultaneously deactivated under partial load with the help of the Camtronic valve-lift adjustment system. This reduces gas-cycle losses and enhances the overall efficiency of the four firing cylinders by shifting the operating point towards higher loads. The turbochargers positioned in the V of the cylinder banks represent another special feature.
With the previous S-Class, comfort and safety blended into one, which Mercedes-Benz referred to as ‘Intelligent Drive’. Now, the new S-Class adds an additional layer of excellence by incorporating and enhancing a host of innovative driving assistance systems initially introduced in the previous model. These include the Active Steer Assist, Active Braking Assist, Evasive Steering Assist and PreSafe Sound.
Modern luxury in the new SClass is affirmed with the highest quality materials and uncompromising workmanship. All models are fitted with a new radiator grille: the versions with six and eight-cylinder engines sport three twin louvres as well as vertical strips with a highgloss black finish. The V-12 model variants are fitted with additional chrome-finish vertical strips in the radiator grille.
Another Mercedes-Benz hallmark is the high-quality look and feel created with the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship in the interior of the new S-Class. These include open-pore woods as well as leather-trimmed doors and dashboard.
‘World-first’ wellness while driving: the ‘Energizing’ comfort control is a world-first entering series production and can be experienced in all seats. This optional feature links various comfort systems in the vehicle together. It systematically uses the functions of the climate control system (including fragrancing) and the seats (heater, ventilation, massage), the panel heating as well as lighting and musical atmospheres, and enables a specific wellness set-up tailored to the mood and need of the customer. This enhances the physical comfort and performance while driving and during a break. The interior of the new S-Class is characterised by two new high-resolution displays, each with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches. Visually, the two displays under one shared glass cover blend into a widescreen cockpit, and as a central element emphasise the horizontal orientation of the interior design.
