2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 (S-Class) Test Drive Video Review

www.autobytel.com/mercedes-ben... Mercedes says their design goal for the S-Class is the “essence of luxury” and they sure have hit the nail on the head. With a base price of $92,900 the S550 is reserved for those who can live the life of luxury. On the inside of this luxury sedan there are high end materials everywhere. From the perforated leather trim, to the 2-tone dash, to the warm wood; the interior is a great place to spend time.
The driving experience is what you would expect from the luxury flagship that is the Mercedes S-Class. Under the hood there is a 4.7 liter twin-turbo V-8 that makes 455 horsepower. Keep in mind this is the entry level model. But cruising along in quite comfort and luxury is the way to go.

It's either this guy is small or this is a huge car.

[@CrAzymiXes]

Both

[@prettyboy1970]

I was just about to say the same thing.

[@sperlongatours]

Vincent Dale loool this is my first thought, hes as tall as two wheels

[@mikey2111]

Vincent Dale At least he doesn't have problems with the leg room in the back :)

[@VincentDale]

Lolol, Good one Maikel K

[@fonfobells]

people who buy these kind of cars don't care about a $10k difference..they want to travel in top notch comfort, safety and luxury. This is why this Mercedes sells more S Class than Audi A8, BMW 7series & Jaguar XJ combined! COMBINED! this car is everything

[@liltjoke1335]

100% agreed

[@rare6499]

Beautiful car. This is the car I would have, and I would choose it over anything in its class. Mercedes did an incredible job.

[@Nightbird.]

This car is cute for everyday driving..but nothing beats a RR Phantom for special nights out on the town. RR craftsmanship still makes this S Class look like a common car.

[@georgewebb1837]

This ride is nice.. Imagine being in your twenties with one of these :)

I've been around this car many times. I've sat in it, and I'm not kidding, this is actually the only car I've even been in that's more comfortable than my own bed. It's just a stunningly beautiful car inside and out. Nothing touches it. Now, granted, this is the S Class. This is a car that is seen rolling out of estate communities. And no one should say that this car is overrated. Almost every big thing that happens to a car usually happens to this car first. It deserves every amount of respect, like the Mustang.

[@Nightbird.]

You need a better bed, baby..lol. I love my S Class but it's not more comfortable than my memory foam bed. Memory foam..it's the bomb!

[@NA-du5vm]

Awesome review. This isn't a car, it is a work of art.

[@notmasterchief]

This reminds me of 2014 when I used to watch so many car reviews like a mad man

[@TheSmartPresenter004]

This car is NOT expensive. It really deserves the price tag because if you compare it to Rolls Royce and Bentley, its just 1/3 the cost. It may not be as exclusive as its British rivals, but its just as luxurious and comfortable, and the technology and functions are SUPREME. You never get first class reclining seats on RR or Bentley at any price, neither an intelligently located picnic table and so much more...

[@fritzrottmann2955]

thats the best guy who reviews a car who i had seen ever

Hey! It's Aaron Gold! That was a nice surprise. Heard you on TST podcast a few times and you are a funny man.

[@minhazkhan4093]

Nice review

[@MrBluvenom]

the A8 may have a technological edge, but the level of sheer luxury or "plushness" in this car is not to be matched by any of the competitors.

[@onemoretime107]

WTF is going on with those side burns? I can't stop looking at them

[@darrenjohnson2912]

i will definitely keep seeing it in the videos and Pictures for the rest of my life :)

[@SimplyCloud70]

what a beautiful car!!

[@ChrisGugliuzza]

what's with this guy's sideburns

[@Fussinated]

Without the side burns you would listen to him what he says about the car, So obviously he does not want you to listen to him.

[@SaturdayCarFever]

Looks weird :D but focus on this awesome car mate. Interior color combination is also weird though :) FYI in Poland where I live, entry model of S-Class S400 Hybrid! V6+ electric motor long wheel base costs $120K. S500 = $140K. Sick prices! S600L V12 :D entry model = $220K. The most expensive one is of course AMG S65 = $300K.

[@MrBamcito]

Mercedes W205 because the amg s65 is the most powerfull sedan ever.

[@AaronGold]

+Chris G A poorly-executed experiment which I plan never to repeat!!

[@agentpiggles6685]

The fact that these are selling for 35k now it seems like a steal for basically a 2019 s class except without as much tech but still the tech is insane for 35k also the fact that this looks like a 2019 model and the only real difference is the infotainment like i just still cannot get over how great a deal this is when I’m like able to drive i wanna buy a 5 year old s class although i will say you cannot get one that was this expensive for 35k but such a great deal

[@raspy1135]

Where are you finding them for 35k?

Did he say Alumidium? Haha!

[@fabiolazzaroni]

wait, I didn't get the shoe joke! Love this guy anyway

[@simsimmanow]

I am in the market for a pre owned car. I test drove a 2012 S 550 4matic. It's a beautiful luxurious car, but there was something missing from the driving experience. I just didn't feel it. I prefer the driving dynamics of Porsche and BMW. I don't know if I'm stupid but I just love the handling of my 2007 335i

[@colincebolanga8391]

BMW and Porsche require more driver input...

[@DutchVanHelsing]

He lives in the boot !

[@MR_RN_NYC]

Great review but I saw you press a button to close the trunk!

[@hmjs13]

2 things that bother me 1-the shiny black bezel surrounding both screens. It looks cheap and not very well integrated. 2- the fact that i actually prefer analog speedometer which in my opinion looks classier especially in this car segment. Otherwise, this car is as close as it gets to perfection. I am curious to see what bmw has to offer in the upcoming 7 series.

[@OviWanKeno9i]

Ok, the jedi and blue collar masses jokes made me subscribe. Me and this guy would get along well.. hehe. I'm thinking of this S550 4Matic as my second car. I have a 400 hp 2013 wrx sti as a daily driver now. It's fun as hell but lacks any luxury and will eventually be replaced by the Alfa Romeo 4C as of now. :)

[@exquisitememes7341]

I’m turning 16 soon and I everyone tells me I’m a good driver so I found a 2014 Mercedes s class for 25k and only 40k miles and it is right at my budget so I thing I’m going to go for it because my mom has a Mercedes sedan the amg gt 4 door coupe 2020 and she lets me drive it up and down our long driveway and I want to keep Mercedes in the family

[@chuemoua6834]

I know you’re lying but who cares . A s class with that kind of miles wouldn’t be 25k .. try 45k

[@exquisitememes7341]

@@chuemoua6834 it’s been 3 years the market has changed drastically.

[@bmwpowercn]

In Australia, s550 or we call s500, the price is $340,000, s350 for $240,000. S63 amg is $400,000.

[@Danny-qb3mk]

In the UK the entry level S-class is the S-350d

[@brawlnemesis8998]

I always recommend buying using s class bcuz it contains the best from mercedes can offer

[@olansogbes6705]

That Jeans !!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!

[@carlosimportexportsilva770]

Great review. I'm thinking the A8 4T or S8 blow it away, but then they are not the cars of dictators.

[@Netho1995]

In Australia we can just get a base model E class for that kind of money. The S class over here starts at $232,500 AUD!

[@globanxiety]

Theres that something i can't really put my finger on that the s class lacks. Its a great car but i kind of feel the BMW 750Li is brilliant. it might not be as comfortable as a S class but to drive though. PHEW !! may be thats why they call it the drivers luxury car

[@DominionTRK]

nice

[@bolaa.5655]

I'm surprised you recommended the audi a8 in place of the S klasse. . . I think if anything if you couldn't afford an s-klasse you should get the bmw 7series.

[@angel_machariel]

The S-class has been reviewed by somebody who's dressed like he's going to do your plumbing any second.

[@3089280288]

he makes the car look huge by standing next to it

[@TheRevolutionary465]

i like this car, but jaguar xj for me. they're rarer, look if not nicer, better exhaust note, and offers a supercharger.

[@vyseerx]

He is no more than 5'2" and hence the car looks huge. It is like any other Luxury sedan in size !!

How does the movie screen exactly work so the driver can't watch the movie? Does the panel swivel towards the passenger or does the LED crystal change directions? Anyone?

[@Fussinated]

"Its 8-inch screen with a diagonal of around 20 cm takes the form of a backlit colour active-matrix display (TFT-LCD). Two different images are presented on this screen simultaneously on adjacent pixels. A mask in front of the display splits this double image such that only the pixels for one or the other image are discernible, according to the respective seat positions. Driver and front passenger respectively thus see different images on one and the same screen. "
