These days, Mercedes-Benz classifies its luxury cars and SUVs according to certain “Classes,” with vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Mercedes-Benz S-Class all leading the way. What many American customers don’t realize, however, is that the nomenclature does actually have some rhyme and reason to it, as in the early days the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was given the name Sonderklasse, which is German for “special class.”
That is where the “S” in “S-Class” comes from, and it shows just how big an impact this model has had on the brand since its introduction almost 45 years ago, with predecessors dating back all the way to the 1950s.
When it was introduced in its modern iteration back in 1972, the idea was that it represented the very best of what the Mercedes-Benz brand had to offer, and to date that is exactly what has happened. Even today, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the top-of-the-line sedan offering in the automaker’s stable, which proves not only the model’s longevity, but consistent excellence.
The newest generation of the vehicle debuted in 2013, featuring a complete redesign and the inclusion of a lot more technology than previous models. Obviously, the amount of tech and luxury included in this vehicle only has expanded with time, which explains why this luxury sedan remains one of the most popular at Mercedes dealers in Florida.
