The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has almost been popular gold since its arrival for what a luxury car deserves to be. Not only that, but it has constantly changed the goal of what luxury will mean in the future.
That’s why it’s so important that Mercedes show uncoated images of the interior of the next Sonderklasse on Wednesday. Chances are that what The S-Class is doing today, the rest of the industry will do in a few years.

With that in mind, what exactly are we looking for? Mercedes now considers the S-Class to be a “third space”, i.e. a safe haven position between the house and the office. According to this notion, it has made the interior of the giant sedan even more spacious and comfortable. This is achieved in component thanks to a design fostered through luxury yachts.
“Our S-Class consumers are very demanding. With the new S-Class, we invite you to enjoy a whole new luxury,” Hartmut Sinkwitz, Mercedes’ head of interior design, said in a statement. “It is underlined through our design philosophy ‘Sensual Purity’ and our absolute commitment to quality and attention to detail. The result is a revolutionary interior delight between virtual and analog luxury.
The influence of sailing inside the new S-Class is easy to see on the board.
There’s more to do with S-Class seats. For example, there are speakers on or around the front headrests (Miata’s taste) for advanced sound, and the rear seat headrests have neck masks. Mercedes also prides itself on its kinetic seat adjustment systems that make slight changes in seat position to increase blood flow and alertness on long journeys.
We expect the rest of the interior to be manufactured, as always, with world-class fabrics such as super padded perforated and padded leather, genuine wood, genuine metal, etc. Mercedes doesn’t waste these things on its most expensive vehicles. In addition to the interior, there are still many things about the new S-Class that we don’t know, but we’re excited to know more in the coming months.
