Testers’ notes

RICHARD LANE I watched a lengthy video detailing the new S-class’s ADAS array and there’s no doubt it’s superbly comprehensive, effective and capable of saving lives. However, the car isn’t half paranoid. On several occasions, the emergency braking triggered apropos of nothing significant, which wrecks the relaxing atmosphere.

I was surprised just how much the ambient lighting affected my mood. Get it right and the car becomes twice as calming in an instant.
