What is the reason for choosing S class now?

"Category Standard" that is in a difficult position during the transformation period

S -class that has undergone model changes without changing the first product concept (= style, driving system, character, etc.).The first generation was W116, which appeared in 1972, but the large saloon of Mercedes -Benz existed before that.It can be said that the ancestors of the type 220 (W187) born in the 1950s were their ancestors.The S class is, in a nutshell, is the main maintenance of Mercedes -Benz, a best and long -selling model that everyone recognizes.

The latest model W223 finally entered the seventh generation as an S class.Of course, there are some other cars that have sold a lot of the same name for a long time, but it is rare to have a model that the core of the basic concept was not deviated as the S class.This is very interesting, but the popular German models, such as the VW golf and the Porsche 911 series, which are the opposite of the product character, are the best and long -selling models that are similar to the S class.
