Compared with its predecessor, elbow room is 38mm wider for the driver and 23mm for rear passengers. Headroom in the rear has increased by up to 16mm, despite a seemingly sloping roof.

Boot capacity has grown by 20 litres to up to 550 litres. The car has rear-wheel steering to reduce turning radius.

A plug-in hybrid variant will have an electric range of up to 100km. With a drag coefficient figure from 0.22, the S-class is one of the world’s most aerodynamic cars, despite a larger frontal area.
