What's New for the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
With the next generation S-Class due to hit U.S. shores for 2006, the main change to the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the inclusion of the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system on every S430 and S500 at no additional cost. Also, a new color called Flint Gray is available. Disappointingly, free scheduled maintenance is dropped for 2005.
Advantages of the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class:
- Standard all-wheel drive on S430 and S500
- Superior passenger comfort
- High-tech safety features
Objections to the 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class: - Fussy controls for the stereo, navigation and climate systems
- Options quickly inflate an already high price tag
Editor's Advice:
The 2005 Mercedes-Benz S-Class resides at the peak of the large, luxury sedan mountain. Although competition from Audi, BMW and Jaguar are fresher, the big Benz still holds its own as a commodious and plush people mover. But if you're a true enthusiast wanting ultimate performance and handling, we recommend a look at the Audi A8 and BMW 7-Series.
