@@pjm760 can you even afford a current gen merc? How about bmw? Nope, that’s what I thought, shut up with your fanboy nonsense. Let the adults who can afford these items speak. Mercedes is incredibly for delivering a very luxury ride while removing some of the driving dynamics, while BMW does the reverse. Is one inherently better than the other? No, it’s all about how you use your car. I drive my 7 series everyday for deliveries and moving my 5 dogs, all while enjoying a very engaging drive. My Mercedes was incredible for just driving my wife around in without worrying about bumps upsetting the ride nor going 170mph like I can my 7 series.

At the end of the day, they’re using press cars as they’re provided for free, making it much cheaper than a rental.

Try sitting down in the current 7 series.

The only thing the S will do better is probably comfort but not by a large margin. Especially with the huge screen, the 7 is just THE current benchmark. Also, I really like that you still have some feel on the road. Even the LED bar looks like higher quality. And it's just stable at top speed. Even braking it will just stay the way you want.

Great review (as always). The only issue that I have with your review is, that you have compared considerably cheaper model of Audi with BMW M Sport and the S class Merc with the rear wheel drive. Why not use the like for like comparisson, or the comparisson at the same price point. Audi S8 is closer to BMW M Sport in price, performance and the equipment levels.

[@fatmancustoms5537]

The 7-series might win the test, but every day you go out to your car you have to look at that design aswell... There is some tradeoffs that isn't worth doing xD !

[@TR-Youtube-Channel]

BMW currently has the best workmanship. This is so well known in Germany. The A8 looks like my A6. 🙂 The old Mercedes is still shown in the video. The new one looks a lot better from the inside.

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

I'll never be in the market for any of these! But still, the Merc has the vital badge and that ride comfort for this end of the market. Felt the verdict mixed this BMW M with that 750 not tested. In the mid range, the 5-series, A6, E class, fine, more the toys and perf but these are luxo barges.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Fully agreed if someone feel posh and want something special Mercedes has a backup cover by Maybach for extra stuff (power, style, features even extra options like +armored) so yeah Mercedes won for me style inside-out no doubt, the new BMW exterior style i really don't like so much & white interior although is nice is very sensible for spotting dirt by back passengers.

[@Datoda]

​@@poplaurentiu4148 And BMW has Rolls Royce which blows the Maybach out of the water. The new Maybach are just a longer S-Class with higher quality materials (although the S-Class has gotten cheaper for sure). The back is incredibly comfortable yes (I almost fell asleep) and everything feels high quality, at the end of the day it is just an S-Class with a bit of make-up. I sat in a new S-Class right after the Maybach and it looked the exact same but felt cheaper. Rolls Royce completely destroys the Maybach in every way though.

[@WesternRailwaysAnimation]

​@@DatodaRolls Royce costs twice as much as Maybach though

[@Datoda]

@@WesternRailwaysAnimation If you go base Maybach vs base Rolls Royce yes, then it does cost almost twice as much. Maybach S580 starts at 182k€, S680 with the V12 at 237k€ while the Rolls Royce Ghost starts at 317k€. However a base Maybach is actually a BASE base Maybach and has literally no options. Literally nothing. I just specced out the S680 to the max, which is what the base Ghost comes with since the only thing you can still configure on a Rolls Royce is visuals and a full S680 Maybach costs 358k€, 121k€ just in options that are included on the base Ghost. After choosing exterior and interior on the Ghost itll be slightly more expensive, probably somewhere around 370k€ ish but this is nowhere near the "twice as much" that you're talking about. The new Spectre starts at 380k€ aswell so same price category as the Maybach. And for that price the Ghost or the Spectre for that matter are much much nicer than a Maybach that looks exactly like a 180k€ Mercedes, which you just paid double for to have the bigger engine and all options so the car is actually drivable. Compared to that the new i7 M70 is a bargain considering it is essentially a Spectre coming in at 240k€ fully optioned.

The Bmw is equipped with M sport Pro package, which means stiffer/ harsher ride compared to normal one, also for the Road noise/ wind noise you have to check if the car has the optional Acoustic package which costs about 2.5K...

[@purwantiallan5089]

BMW M SPORT PRO should've had TDI engine option.

[@hooyabaaa2]

For me it´s a bit strange an M badge on a car that should have a greater focus on confort... Big wheels and smalll sidewall tires alone arent good for confort, but that ALSO have harder suspension. I think that Mercedes is more spot on with those things, aside except for missing the rear screens.

[@ginco_bnz]

@@hooyabaaa2I agree, stupid to have an M badge and stiffer suspension if it’s not their top of the line model. The S class only has 1 top performance model, the S63, so people buying those know they aren’t getting the best ride, but it makes 800hp. But this BMW makes no sense, stiffer suspension on a car that isn’t fast and is meant for comfort.

[@hooyabaaa2]

@@ginco_bnz The actual market are a bit ''strange'' these days, because people want ALL THEY CAN in cars that arent suposed to perform that good by simple ''physics''. What kind of sportness to expect on a 2,5 ton car? If you want a ''luxury'' car with performance... McLaren offers the Artura... 600+ hp with almost a ton in diets... You lost some confort, space and so on, but at least you can expect a good performance in a car that is a ''luxury'' GT car, not a boat that want to be ''sportier''. Why having an sport setting with vague steering?

[@malaykumar9802]

Great video as always. Matt being the entertaining and informative reviewer as always. Being a petrol head myself, sad to see the flagships coming in with a mere 6 cylinder engine. Missing the good old v12's in these luxury limousines.

I totally agree with you. From this 3 cars I would also choose the A8, but when money was no issue it would be the Bentley Flying Spur for me too. Such a classy car and it stands out from all others.

[@tobimael]

keep in mind, even tho the audi had a facelift last year, it‘s still a d4, so 2017 tech. it‘s also noticably cheaper than the other two. if audi were to make a completely new generation it‘d definitiely be my choice. as of right now i‘d choose the s class tho. i think it looks the most classy out of the three (even tho i usually don‘t really like mercs). the bmw doesn‘t do it for me. yeah sure, they stepped up their game and the screen in the back and atuff is cool, but the looks are just ugly imo. i can clearly see why many politicians and celebrities choose the a8 or the s class.
