With a base price of $93,825--and prices likely to range to near double that for a well-equipped S65 AMG, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class lineup isn't cheap. That's always been beside the point, though; the S-Class continues to showcase the leading edge of automotive technology--including some world firsts for active safety--and in ride comfort and interior ambiance.
With Mercedes-Benz' Pre-Safe technologies, you get some of the most sophisticated accident-avoidance systems in the world. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is also the first regular-production car to move entirely to LEDs for lighting--with the entire car now using more than 400 LEDs, including up to 56 for the headlamps.
