Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a five-seat luxury sedan aimed at buyers who want a large, petrol-hybrid Mercedes rather than an electric EQS or i7. In Malaysia, the V223 generation launched in 2022 and the line-up starts and ends with the S 580 e, priced from RM 738,888.

S-Class in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the S-Class story is the facelifted W223 appearing in Malaysia for Mercedes-Benz’s 140th anniversary world tour, not a full model change. The update gains the MBUX Superscreen, while i-damping, trick suspension, Level 4 autonomy and a flat-plane V8 sit within the wider facelift programme. The Malaysian buyer range here remains the S 580 e petrol-hybrid sedan.

Verdict

The S-Class makes most sense if you specifically want the Mercedes-Benz luxury sedan with petrol-hybrid power. It is not the cheapest way into this class: it starts above the Mercedes-Benz EQS and BMW i7, and the BMW 7 Series and Jaguar XJ also start lower. The Mercedes-AMG EQS starts higher. The single-variant range keeps the decision simple, but it also leaves price and equipment as the main points to check.
