Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe gets new S 400 4Matic variant for a more affordable entry-point

Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse Coupé (C 217) 2015

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe model range is currently comprised of five models that include three AMG models – the S 500, S 500 4Matic, S 63, S 63 4Matic and S 65. Now, the Three Pointed Star has added a new entry-level S 400 4Matic to the model line-up, priced from 99,960 euros (RM468,410), making it 23,740 euros (RM111,245) cheaper than the S 500 (123,700 euros or RM579,973).

The sixth model for the S-Class Coupe comes equipped with a 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine with 367 hp and 500 Nm of torque on tap. If those numbers sound familiar, it is because this is the same engine that is deployed on the SL facelift, C 450 AMG 4Matic and GLE 450 AMG 4Matic. Here, the engine is mated to a seven-speed 7G-Tronic Plus auto box and 4Matic all-wheel drive system.

From a standstill, the S 400 4Matic will make the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 5.6 seconds. Top speed of the coupe is registered at 250 km/h. Mercedes-Benz claims the car is capable of achieving a combined fuel consumption figure of 8.3 l/100 km, with C02 emissions marked at 193 g/km (combined).

Standard equipment on the S 400 4Matic include the Thermotronic two-zone automatic climate control system, LED Intelligent Light System (with variable light distribution, active light function, cornering light function, enhanced fog light function) and Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus. The Comand Online multimedia system, Airmatic air suspension system, Active Parking Assist with Parktronic, Collision Prevention Assist Plus and Pre-Safe are also part of the standard equipment package for the new model.

In Malaysia, the sole S-Class Coupe variant with an official price list is the Mercedes-AMG S 63 Coupe, priced at RM1,493,888.
