Chronology
Predecessor Mercedes-Benz S-Class W221
Maybach 57 and 62

The Mercedes-Benz W222 is the version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class produced since 2013, and the successor of the Mercedes-Benz W221. The W222, designed during 2009 by Robert Lešnik,[5] has a similar design theme to the CLA-Class and Pre-Facelifted E-Class (W212).

In Europe, sales of the S 400 Hybrid, S 350 BlueTEC, S 350 BlueTEC Hybrid, and S 500 began in September 2013. US sales of the S 550 also began in September; the 4Matic four-wheel drive model went on sale in November, 2013. Additional models, including V12 models and those from AMG were released in 2014.[3][6]

The newest S-Class debuted on 15 May 2013 in Hamburg, Germany and entered production in Sindelfingen, Germany June 2013.[7][8] A new Burmester 24-speaker surround sound audio system is available.

Technology

Mercedes-Benz W222

The W222 is the first S-Class using very-high-speed FlexRay optical fiber data bus technology,[9] which interconnects (data fusion) all electrical/electronic systems, particularly the COMAND Online control interface (with Intel Atom processor[10]), MBC road scanning active suspension[11] and the multitude of new driver assistance systems, since all these require very high data bit rates.

Suspension

Mercedes' Active Body Control hydraulic active suspension has been updated with a system dubbed Magic Body Control (MBC) that is fitted with a road-sensing system (ROAD SURFACE SCAN) that pre-loads the shocks for the road surface detected. Using a stereo camera, the system scans the road surface up to 15 meters ahead of the vehicle at speeds up to 130 km/h (81 mph), and it adjusts the shock damping at each wheel to account for imperfections in the road.[6][12]

Safety innovations[9]

The massive COMAND Online all-LCD navigation and information system, standard on all S-Class models.
The all-LED headlight assembly found on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222).
The all-LED tail light assembly of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222).

The W222 S-Class has a unique lighting system: Exterior and interior lighting is composed only of LEDs, the first automobile to do so.[20] All models include all-LED lighting, though the number depends on the equipment of the specific vehicle. Around 500 LEDs attended to all the lighting functions on a car for the first time on the S-Class in 2013.[21] The LEDs are placed as follows:

It can also park itself.[22]

Main article: plug-in hybrid
Plug-in badge of the Mercedes-Benz S 500 e plug-in hybrid production model.

The S 500 e is a plug-in hybrid version of long wheelbase S-Class sedan with 3.0-litre V6 twin turbo engine rated 333 PS (245 kW; 328 hp) and 480 N·m (354 lb·ft), electric motor rated 109 PS (80 kW; 108 hp) and 340 N·m (251 lb·ft), externally rechargeable battery, 4 hybrid operating modes (HYBRID, E‑MODE, E-SAVE and CHARGE), second generation recuperative braking system, haptic accelerator pedal, pre-entry climate control of the interior, Intelligent HYBRID with (dis)charging management based on COMAND Online navigation data, 8.7kWh battery pack.[40][41]

The all electric range range is about 30 km (19 mi) under the New European Driving Cycle.[40][41] Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests, the S 500 e has an all-electric range of 14 mi (23 km), with some gasoline consumption (0.1 gal/100mi), so the actual all-electric range is rated between 0 to 12 mi (0 to 19 km).[42]

The EPA, under its five-cycle tests, rated the 2015 model year S 500 e energy consumption in all-electric mode at 59 kWh per 100 miles, which translates into a combined city/highway fuel economy of 58 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPG-e) (4.1 L/100 km; 70 mpg-imp gasoline equivalent). When powered only by the gasoline engine, EPA's official combined city/highway fuel economy is 26 mpg-US (9.0 L/100 km; 31 mpg-imp).[42]
