Mercedes-Benz Korea said on the 18th it has officially launched the facelifted versions of its flagship sedan, the New Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the New Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.
The New S-Class is regarded as a model that concentrates the expertise Mercedes-Benz has built up across generations. The company improved more than 50% of the vehicle’s components compared with the previous model, marking the most extensive change since the S-Class first launched. Beyond the sedan’s signature comfort and digital experience, it also significantly enhanced its driving and safety technologies across the board.
The New Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has been upgraded into a distinctive top-tier luxury vehicle, applying its own refined craftsmanship and carefully selected premium materials. In particular, its cabin, reminiscent of a first-class lounge, delivers the finest rear-seat ride comfort.
“The New S-Class raises the bar once again by adding cutting-edge technology and the utmost comfort on top of the brand’s heritage, while the New Mercedes-Maybach S-Class expresses the essence of top-tier luxury by combining this technical refinement with Maybach’s distinctive craftsmanship and dignity,” said Shirin Emira, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Korea.
Mercedes-Benz Korea began taking pre-orders on May 18 and had secured more than 2,500 contracts by the 18th of this month. Deliveries to customers begin on a rolling basis this week.
