The Best S-Class of Our Time: Mercedes-Benz W221 Review

When it comes to luxury cars, your first impression may not be the BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8, or the Lexus LS, but the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Although the W140 in the 1990s was considered to be the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz, it's a pity that the 1990s was long before me, and the W140 did not have such an impact on me. In comparison, the Mercedes-Benz W221, in my opinion, is the best Mercedes-Benz S-Class of our time.

What a review! The most entertaining and charismatic I have ever seen. W211 and w221 are my favourite Merc cars. They can be costly but the driving experience is on the next level.

[@WhatWeDrive]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@vitaminq4348]

Hear hear. I've owned the W211 E-Class and I look forward to getting the W221 for collection, some of the best work Mercedes ever did.

I am still driving the w221 2013 everyday over my w222 2018. W221 speaks for itself as the king or the Godfather of its class. W222 is young and fun but loss its touch on the classic mobil refinement. Unfortunately w223 looks like a tuned up Tesla....

[@MGT600]

Really love my w140 & w221 generation!😎👍 For me, The w221 is the last great S-class besides w140 & generation before that.. the newer ones looks good with the gadgets & big screen but it will not last long in terms of reliability.. at least on the w221 you can find a really basic ones with less gadgets but still can experience the comfort of the sonderklasse😎

[@fupang3776]

My collections are 2 of 140, 2 of 220 and 2 of 221, all are 600, but I only love 140s

[@iTsTHumpa]

Happy to see somebody that agrees. A lot of people say w222 is the best modern s class. It is beautiful and I love it, but for me the W221 is the breadwinner. The widened fenders give it so much road presence, and starting in 2014 ( C w205, E w213, S w222) they all began to look the same, literally the only thing setting them apart is the size. They have the same lights and body lines. You could NEVER confused a w204 c class, w212 e, and w221 s class for each other. But as I said with 2014+ they can very well be confused from afar.

[@todortashev1822]

As an owner of W220 320 and W221 500 4matic I totally agree. Whoever has the chance to drive an S class he would never love any other car.

[@carsten9168]

I agree that this generation of the W221 engine S 300L, 350L onwards to the 500L is truly the best Mercedes Benz models to be sought after. Even this 2012 model of 9 years still stuns the driver with its looks, performance, supreme comfort and elegance ! Great buy indeed and stick to the Merc if you can.

I have a pearl white S550 in U.S and it's a good looking car . It feels heavy and firm on the road like a armored car . I enjoyed every amenities of this car . The negative part is that the maintainence is high , it had costed me over $20K over 3 years of the ownership. Two OEM Batteries $650 , front ONE air suspension strut $2200 , soft door close module $650 , interior ambiance lights $800 , plus every service A and B from $550 to $2500 every 10K miles ....If you buy please get your extra money ready !!! Another suggestion , if you want to spend same money , buy a Lexus LS460 , I have it since 2010 and costed me almost nothing , just $200 every 10K miles , it's known for its reliability !

[@kevin9c1]

The key with cars like this is to do your own maintenance and repairs. I realize this is not something everyone can do. But DIY could have cut your bills in half or even a third.

[@iTsTHumpa]

That is because you paid for a dealer battery, dealer air strut, dealer this, dealer that. Arnott has remanufactured air struts for way cheaper, and you can use a damn battery from Autozone.

[@derrickhannibal1433]

I have a rare 2012 S class "blue-tec" S350 turbo diesel. It's a keeper. The 2013 redesign has more glamour and tec inside but the exterior from a distance can be mistaken for a C or E class. They look the same!!!! It's called an assembly line cost cutting measure. Perhaps I'm wrong. In any event, my 110k gets me a giant C class. Bummer......As for the new Benz, I guess it may grow on me. The interior is full of tablets i.e Tesla and the rear end styling screams Japan or south Korea. Note to S Class Benz: Don't punch down to your competition! Notice the front end styling on the new Benz. It actually looks closer to the 2012 version!!!! That's why I agree with the video presentation.

[@ccinc.7377]

What a perfect description of the newest generation! W221 is the most aesthetically pleasing and class distinctive generation in my opinion. You cannot confuse a w221 S-class for any other car within the MB lineup or in the industry as a whole. The w222-223 look like Hyundai knockoffs from certain angles...not even improved versions but actual knockoffs which is disappointing.

[@oa799]

Agreed. Especially the tablets in the W223 takes away from the feeling of a prestigious vehicle with many years of pedigree. They should incorporate the larger screen and the latest technological features within a more traditional dash design

You need to do a transmission reset. That'll get that 2-3 second acceleration delay down to .5 seconds in no time. Also if you've notnyet had a chance to experience an S-Class w/the 4.8L/5.0L/5.5L/5.6L *_Twin Turbo_* w/4-Matic & either 7 or 9 speed transmisson power train, you're in for a major TREAT! After owning and leasing 7 or 8 vehicles ranging from: '05 Ferarri F430, '13 Range Rover Supercharged '12 Jaguar F-Type R '08 Bentley Flying Spur My last three in a ROW have all been S550/S560s! That should rewlly tell you something right there. I even got such a deal on a W221 i was willing to go about a decade older on my 3rd ('09) vs my 2nd one ('18 S560) & 1st another W222, '15 to be exact.

It's interesting that the W221 S350 in the US and Canada is a diesel bluetec. I was excited when I saw S350 on the back of the car thinking that you were going to review the diesel. I've driven it. The performance and the "snap" you get when you hit the pedal is very impressive. You made an exceptional video. Thank you.

Remember though the maintenance needed is still that of a £80,000 car. We had one highest specced examples and it was FANTASTIC but an accidental downshift led to its demise. If you want to own one (and you should!) just ensure that you our are willing to pay S class maintenance prices

This car is so much better. If you’re going to upgrade then do a facelift W222 2019-2021. The 21+ W223 is a shame. But the car you have now is actually the best s class ever made. It looks so much better, it actually looks like an S class. The models after this are cookie cutter looking, they do not hold a candle to the W221

... as a matter of fact, this W221 will go down in history as the last true S-Class. Everything newer feels like a a bunch of plastic glued together to maximize profit for the company. No heart, no soul ... like a slightly larger C-Class. I will keep my W221 until my last breath 🙂

Yet another great review by the son I never had. Doug Demuro just called and wants to know if you could tutor him on how to do car reviews. I told him: "don't call us, we'll call you." Now I have to go find a '13 year model W221 to park next to the W140. I find it amusing that you keep pointing out these S-class cars have massive body roll. I come from the old Cadillac and Lincoln days when the cars would literally roll over in a corner and we just had to go buy another one.

Fantastic review. I'm actually awaiting delivery of a W221 Mercedes S-Class that I purchased, a 2011 model, though mine is perhaps a bit different from this one (S 65 AMG)...can't wait to drive it (though it's snowing right now, so I'll have to wait another couple days or so).

[@iTsTHumpa]

I hope youre enjoying that beast of a machine.

[@WatashiWannabe]

Well, the unfortunate truth of it...I'd purchased it from Carvana, and they never delivered it. So, having not put anything down for it other than a month of insurance, I'm not really out anything except time (literally waited nearly 3 months before cancelling), but I'll never buy anything on that level from Carvana ever again (this is mb7241, but my new main account). So I'm still looking, but I might actually be looking a bit beyond the normal scope of things (currently considering a 1997-98 Toyota Century V12, as those are now legal to import)...interest rates, however, are nowhere near the 3.5-4% they were before...

[@globalnetworkz3255]

good review about this w221 as i enjoyed watching, i would also like to know which year is the best model of d w221. Speaking about the maintenance how is it like?does it cost much on repair?

[@WhatWeDrive]

In my personal opinion, the later models (e.g. 10, 11, 12) are a little more mature than when it was first introduced (though I personally like the side mirrors on the earlier model better). It should be noted that these car cost you to maintain. I still go to the dealer where this car was originally purchased from and they did very good job on this car as far as I know. Both front suspensions and the alternator were the two big things that I replaced. They were expensive indeed. Scheduled Maintain costs aren’t too bad and they car is in general one of the more reliable cars I have driven. Now, when I say reliable, I am referring to the general engine performance, steering, etc, but because these cars are packs with electronics, some will probably require attention or replacement after years of ownership. For example, the rear window curtain on the right was re-programmed in order to work perfectly, and the rear middle seat headrest won’t fold back until another reprogram and repair on the semiconductor board. Overall, if you found one with mint condition, and you saved up at least half the money of the price, you will be good to go.

[@gusf8451]

11-13 they changed the engine to a 5.5 twin turbo, much faster and more fuel efficient, amongst other stuff that have improved like the ABC system, I own a 2011 S63 and I love it.

[@39papilindo]

Ok the closer you can get to purchasing a 2013 the more trouble free your s550 is going to be. I have a 2013 550 with a v8 there's been a few minor things that comes with Normal wear and tear but really huge are costly. So if you can find a 2013 with low mileage with a v8 consider taking it for a test drive

[@matsujarvinen]

@Shinya Good writing.However,a couple of things I´d like to comment: "Many things in the W220 were experimental and had to be sorted out." " It's just not a vehicle that you can simply daily-drive, you expect something to break. It's a nightmare to own as your only car." I have owned S320 -99 for several years,and it´s been extremely reliable.I´ve been able to do myself all the repairs,quite simple ones and not many of them.All old cars need some fixing now and then.Many people seem to think that w220 is some kind of carworlds Windows 98..With my own experience,I can´t agree.Everything works,airmatic,soft closing doors etc. Rust is the biggest problem with this era Mercedes cars.

[@12123188]

Beautiful walnut wood like the type in this car was always the ultimate sign of class and luxury. It's expensive, beautiful, needs craftsmanship to be made and it's from all times. Walnut is the top tier of luxury for centuries and maybe even millennia. I really can't understand how people can chose carbon, piano lacquer or aluminium finish above any type of wood (especially walnut). It's a shame that leather nowadays is the only luxury option you can choose. What about velours/Pullman interiors. Those were maybe even more luxurious.

In my personal opinion, w140 and w221 are the best S Class ever made

[@dual7779]

Beautiful review. I always wondered is this s class really that comfortable to sit in and drive? Do you feel any bumps on the road with it? Are the seats comfortable? How does it compare to BMW 7 series F01 and Audi A8 D4? Also, what about the transmission? Is gear shifting fast and smooth? Or is it kinda slow, rough and jerky? And the last, is it worth buying this car only equipped with 4matic 4x4 system? Or RWD is just as good and comfortable in this car?

[@WhatWeDrive]

Thanks. In my opinion, the car is comfortable in its category, and perhaps one of the most comfortable. You will feel the bumps, but they are softened enough to a point where they usually don’t disturb the ride. I think it is better than the Audi A8 but the BMW comes close, which is really down to personal preference. Transmission is pretty much “invisible” as you normally could not even tell if it shifts because it shifts smoothly and quietly without you realizing it. The transmission is definitely comfortable, and fast enough that you still get smooth power delivery. If one is looking to purchase this car, I say the 4 matic is the way to go, because that’s what gives the W221 that advantage in the way it drives. The RWD is definitely not as good the 4 matic, and once you go 4 matic, you will never want to to turn back.
