Mercedes decided it was time to refresh the S-Klasse, deciding to introduce a new version for the 2024 model year, which is already in production at the brand's plant. If you're looking for new looks, you should know the model very well, as the only changes to the interior and exterior are the addition of two new colors – gray and brown metallic, as well as cushions on the headrests of the front seats.
However, the new S-Klasse has also received more changes that may not be quite visible at first glance, but according to Mercedes will help drivers. The manufacturer introduced another function in the driving assistance systems. This includes automatic lane change support on two-lane highways.
In addition, Mercedes-Benz has expanded its video streaming offerings by integrating Sony's RIDEVU service. In addition, improvements have been made to the user interface of MBUX, Mercedes-Benz's infotainment system. Assisted parking suggestions are now more intuitively accessible in the menu, and in the future it is planned to expand the compatibility of the pre-equipped "Digital Vehicle Key" with Android devices, which will increase convenience and accessibility for users.
In terms of safety features, the S-Klasse now offers a person or pet presence reminder system, which aims to prevent people from accidentally being forgotten in the car. This function is activated and deactivated automatically based on the detection of people or animals in the rear of the vehicle caused by a prolonged opening of the tailgate.
