Cons: Sky-high prices; complicated control layout takes lots of practice to use

CG Says: After its redesign for 2014, Mercedes-Benz’s flagship large-car line adds V12-powered S600 and S65 AMG models, as well as a touchpad COMAND controller instead of a keypad. Carbon-ceramic brakes and a heads-up display are newly available on AMG models. Also, a coupe body style officially joins the lineup, as the former CL-Class coupes are renamed S-Class. An S550 Plug-In Hybrid sedan and an ultra-luxury S600 Mercedes-Maybach sedan will join the S-Class lineup as early 2016 models. The S-Class lineup grows much stronger as Mercedes-Benz adds desirable new variations that suit a broader range of luxury tastes. Although it’s not perfect, make no mistake that the S-Class remains a luxury car of the highest order, easily competing with the best sedans and coupes in the world.
