See all Motoring NewsThe new generation S-Class has arrived in Ireland. Showcasing technology that, in time, will likely appear in future Mercedes- Benz vehicles, its introduction prefaces the arrival of a veritable chorus line of new models, including electric and hybrid units, scheduled throughout the year.
Designed with what Mercedes calls ‘a high-status grille’ highlighting its 200 sq. cmslarger front, its classically elegant and more contoured body shape has been given a subtle dash of sportiness evident in its imposing presence and posture.
There will be two petrol and three diesel engines available initially. A plug-in hybrid will then follow.
Commenting, Ciaran Allen, sales manager for Mercedes-Benz in Ireland said: “demand is expected to focus on the standard wheelbase 350d launching at €121,865. Beyond that, most models are likely to be bought by special order, fitted with features according to individual preference”.
