[@matejgrim]

The most impressive thing to me is that this car cruises at 200km/h reving 2000rpm. In most cars you would have to hold near full throttle, rev 5000 and get a ton of noise at that speed. Truly a royal-like experience...

[@Lowrider992]

As he said in the video, the Merc has 9 gears, so thats your answer why it cruises at that speed at low revs.

[@Guuggel]

Being diesel also helps

[@horvathr95]

I would say its more like 2300rpm but still impressive. Sorry for the nitpicking

[@Brokeniggashateme]

Diesel automobiles tend to have very low RPMS compared to gas engines due to the more torque they provide . Most of them top out at 5k Rpm’s

[@1GTASANANDREASCJ]

It's also the same on a BMW X3M Competition. At 200km/h, it's around 2300rpm which is crazy for a petrol engine.

[@e39lwd]

Green is seriously underrated and underused in the car world. Dark green + Cognac interior is where it's at for me.

[@ataipacquiao5713]

Gorgeous car. Definitely, my dream! Super smooth, silent, good performance, efficient!

[@Squilliam-Fancyson]

this car makes much more sense than the EQS and actually looks good

[@SwiftHDX]

I wouldn't say it looks good, but you're right about it making much more sense than the EQS, and depite not being good looking, it still looks miles better.

[@AA-vr8ez]

@@SwiftHDXthe S class is a phenomenal looking vehicle.

[@SwiftHDX]

@@AA-vr8ez I beg to differ. The W222 looked great, particularly the facelift. The W221 was elegant as a luxury limousine should be. Those designs are truly phenomenal. The W223 doesn't do it on any level in comparison to its predecessors. It looks aggressive, ghastly with strange design details front and rear, specifically the weird light shapes which make no sense in the context of the rest of the design and the oversized sticking out grill which looks like it could suck in a football pitch in one go and just had botched plastic surgery with the way it extends forwards. It's not just Mercedes though, BMW has completely lost the plot with the G70. Both companies have forgotten what proper proportions are, but BMW takes Mercedes' mistakes to a whole other level with the new 7 and its ridiculous looking light-up grill surrounds. That car has so many offensive design choices, I'm surprised it even got the green light from BMW executives.

[@martinsv9183]

@@SwiftHDX I think it looks ok. A bit aggressive front with no weird lights or grille. Like it should be. Classic receipt. Even though nothing special. I would change the rear lights though. Doesnt fit a big car. Old one was better. There's no weird parts in the design otherwise. You have to be thankful for that nowadays. I dont like the big focus on screens in the interior though. Looks tacky and is always an ergonimic disaster.

[@Tuck31r]

@@SwiftHDX I agree but I think the front is not bad at all , I would put this new front to the predecessor

[@golfdriver18]

How this color looks in the sun, beautiful

[@kebanetseRari]

emerald green.

[@playstation1331]

inline diesel , just like the good old days, I LOVE IT

[@juanbugatti490]

That color combination though 🔥🔥🔥

[@GOINFINITI]

Its the best combo for sure- huge limo with a nice big diesel engine. Always drove that config :)

[@AlexRemus]

Same goes for SUVs. A strong diesel + a big practical, comfortable car is match made in heaven (for now).

[@naftyloescher]

I actually did my Bachelors Thesis at Mercedes-Benz Untertürkheim working on the LDS coating in this OM656. Very good engine and it will last for sure.

[@doctorleitz4795]

That’s good to know. I’ve owned an E400d 4 Matic wagon for 4 years now. Had it since new. Best car I’ve ever had. What an engine, although mine is obviously without the 27hp assistance found in the S450d. I’ve never felt short of power or torque, and it will worry some sports cars on the autobahn.

[@user-cw1fp3xb6b]

I have also had the E400d wagon for the last 4 years in UK. Stage 1 tune to 400hp and 800Nm! Tremendous family car. Taken it to northern Scotland, Spain, Portugal and through all the countries to get to Poland with over half a ton of aid for Ukraine 2 years ago. Need to decide if I will keep it or get another. Maybe the GLE? Same engine though! 400d/450d.

[@shitsugane]

It's beautiful. The sound of the doors...the color...

[@heinzrotzoll2237]

Great job, Max, thanks.

[@bigpeeler]

Great review...as usual. 👍

[@Receptor91]

My brother has the 2023 GLE in this emerald green. This is by far the best colour I’ve seen in a long time.

[@SachaKDrums]

Those art-deco pinstripes in the door handles are boss.

[@d.s.2868]

The best S Class is always the S600L W140

[@XDMIIIIIIIII]

Bentley-esque

[@akrs3005]

no

[@dwoolwichpoly9086]

Definitely up there for being the best for sure! For me the shape and technology of the W221 S65 AMG was a sweetspot. W222 got the better updated M279 engine with a better 7 speed gearbox and a tonne more technology. Though the shape never fully grew on me like the W221 did. The W140 was a tank in all aspects and if you are a person who doesn’t need the useful technologies in the more modern vehicles, then its a fantastic choice

[@LilRick96]

​@@dwoolwichpoly9086 the W222 S65 facelift was absolute perfection for me. My dream car. Followed by the W126 560sel then the W140 body style.

[@horvathr95]

I mean that is your preference. If I have to take a guess, its because you grew up in the 90's. I would say though the W126 was a bigger milestone in the S class history. Or the 6.9 W116.

[@agerautimate8272]

The autobahn part is always the best

[@EdD-ym6le]

Wow that's nice . Paint looks deeeeeep . Beautiful .

[@anonime_dancer]

Such an impressive car

[@roselynnfrancis222]

Beautiful. I wish they did chrome gold grills, rims and exterior outline designing. That would look so awesome on this emerald green.

[@Michu6728]

Pretty sure current 740d has 299hp, not 340

[@Anders_HeymSR30]

Indeed, it is just a relabelled 30d engine

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

Bmw started uplifting their models for no reason other than to sell "prestige". They moved 50i to 60i without a bump in horsepower, same as making the 730d into a 740d with a slight 13 hp boost. Older gen with the same name had more hp than newer models with the same name, really wierd.

[@NiceMan12684]

The best 6cylinder ever made

[@HansKlopek]

The electric mandates wont last. People simply aren't buying them. The internal combustion engine can't be replaced.

[@rebelroad401]

We’ll have to buy them when ICE cars are no longer on sale.

[@HansKlopek]

@@rebelroad401 nope. The used car market for internal combustion engines will take off and remain more popular than electric crap. Companies will have no choice but to abandon the electric market. It's already happening in the United States.

Dam I agree, I would want this spec for the states, proper combination. I’m sure a proper renntech/weistic tune will make it even better!

[@opachki8325]

in all honesty you don't need more power in this. States got like 85mph max limits, this engine is torquey enough for that :) more is always better but I've done 160mph in a 740d G70 on the Autobahn and that sadly only has 300hp :)

[@petemolnar6073]

@@opachki8325 I hear yeah I like a engine to it's full potential and usually diesel motors are choked from the factory.

[@opachki8325]

@@petemolnar6073 We gotta be honest here: Emissions are a thing and Diesel engines just are restricted by laws of physics. They can't rev as high and you'll wanna keep it stock in order to preserve longevity. BMW apparently stopped their 50d lineup (400hp btw) due to reliability and emissions issues as far as I know. 300hp is enough to go 160 mph. I had the 740d for the weekend and the torque it has is more than enough. I did go 160 mph with it. It's fine. More is always nice but at what cost? Diesel engines do behave differently from gasoline/petrol powered ones in the way they deliver power and they really are made for high mileages. You don't really need the high end power all that much if you have the torque to properly move you even at low revs.

That’s why they don’t sell many short wheel base s class and people prefer the longer one. It’s good they still offer both because some people enjoy driving their cars and they don’t need the longer version

[@websterh530]

@@nmvi226 I understand people what to have a luxury car with all those features and have fun driving it at the same time. For me if I buy a super luxury sedan I’d like it to be more comfortable, I guess that’s what a S-Class was built for. Or i’d rather choose a AMG GT 4-door for driving pleasure. In the end it is not possible to have one car that satisfies every need so a standard wheelbase S-Class is not a bad one.
