Used Vehicle Review: Mercedes-Benz S-Class, 2007-2013 (W221) - Autos.ca

One of the world’s foremost flagship sedans, the last-generation Mercedes S-Class was available from model years 2007 to 2013 inclusive, and packed industry-leading pedigree, technology, styling and presence. Competing with big-dollar rides from BMW, Lexus, Audi and Jaguar, the S-Class offered up numerous engine options, available All Wheel Drive (AWD) and special versions, including performance tuned models, hybrid-powered models, and many more. In the used market, S-Class examples with the AMG designation are equipped with upgraded engines, brakes, chassis components and track-validated driveline upgrades for a high-performance package. Look for options like navigation, voice-command, adaptive xenon lights, night-vision, adaptive suspension, premium audio, climate controlled seats, an emergency calling system, heated steering wheel and plenty more. S-Class owners rate the style, comfort, presence and exclusivity of their rides very highly. World-class comfort and a very quiet ride are also reported. What Owners Dislike: Owners of cars in this price range are typically reluctant to list any complaints, and the S-Class is no exception. Common Issues: Plan to spend an hour or more for a test drive of a used S-Class, as you’ll want to confirm proper operation. Source: www.autos.ca
