Only a few days have passed since the company showed teaser photos of the restyled SL model, and now, without hiding the new charm from anyone, it is sharing official high-quality photos of the declassified new sports roadster under the letters SL.
The 2017 Mercedes SL received a new front end that brought it closer to recent models in the Mercedes lineup. The 2017 SL has a new grille, redesigned headlights combined with LED daytime running lights inspired by the more expensive SL, a redesigned bumper and an updated hood. The side mirrors have also been slightly redesigned.
The rear end has been modified with redesigned taillights (they are all in red), a redesigned rear bumper with a new diffuser, stylishly combined with the top-of-the-line SL63 AMG quad sports exhaust system that you actually see in the photos. Added a small but useful device on the trunk lid spoiler. On the AMG version of the model, carbon inserts and accents on the bumpers and side sills are visible. Rounding out the roadster are multi-spoke black wheels wrapped in Continental ContiSportContact tires.
Looking into the salon, you will probably notice a slightly enlarged one, which is controlled through the same joystick. The driver will have a new multifunctional, flat-bottomed steering wheel in their hands, and a hand will grab the new gear knob. Switching between ride modifications, Individual, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Race are selected via the new controller. Throughout the interior of the sports version of the SL, carbon fiber inserts are visible, especially a lot of carbon fiber is used on the center console.
They say that there are no economical executive sedans. This is wrong. At least now that the hybrid Mercedes-Benz S 500 e has arrived. Moreover, under certain conditions, this car can do without gasoline at all!

Comparison test
This is not the first time these three have competed against each other. And not the last one. Now the new generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class aims to set new standards in the executive class. Let's see if the Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series can compete with him.
From big to big: Volvo S60, BMW 5, Mercedes S-Class, Audi A8, Porsche Panamera
Comparison test For many, the choice of a car from business class and above began with a visit to the dealerships of the “big German three” and in most cases ended there. Of course, there is also Lexus, Kia Quoris is rapidly rushing to the Russian market, but this does not negate the fact that Europe is still in charge in the “business” and “representative” segments.
In April 2017, the world premiere of the updated Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2018 (W222) took place at the Shanghai Motor Show. The restyled version received a different exterior and interior design, while several new engines became available for the model, and its equipment became richer.
In Europe, sales of new items will begin in July, while Russian dealers of the German brand will have updated sedans in August.
Exterior
From the pre-reform car Mercedes S-Class 2017-2018 model year differs not so much. From the front, it can be recognized by the enlarged air intakes in the front bumper and a different grille, which has three double horizontal slats.
The new S-Klasse W222 also received optics with three lines of curved running lights (previously there was one). At the same time, all lighting equipment is diode in the database. The swift profile of the sedan immediately makes it clear that we have a car with a sporty character.
Even at rest, the restyled Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2017 looks dynamic and smart. The designers managed to achieve this by alternating concave surfaces and smooth edges. The window sill line here does not rise up, but, on the contrary, goes down to the stern, the windows received a stylish chrome trim.
The stern of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 222 sedan received a modified bumper and an adjusted shape of the taillights. The 4-door rims of a new design complete the look.
Salon
The interior of the S-class in the new V222 body after restyling has changed slightly. The Germans added several trim options with wooden inserts and installed a new multifunction steering wheel with a two-spoke design in the cabin, in the center of which a large brand logo flaunts.
The steering wheel trimmed with Nappa leather has touch buttons with the same functionality as a smartphone, which means that from now on the driver can control the multimedia system by keeping his hands on the steering wheel, which is not only convenient, but also safer.
The dashboard and infotainment system of the 2017 S-Class received new screens that visually look like one large display. This solution is also used on the pre-reform car, but now the screens are additionally placed under a single protective glass, so now they look even more harmonious, forming a fully digital cockpit.
You can control the multimedia functions in the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2018 both through the touchpad and using the voice command system. It should be noted that the screen of the entertainment complex itself has three display modes: Classic, Sport and Progressive.
For the restyled version of the model, the Energizing Comfort system became available, which can influence the mood of people in the cabin with the help of special climate control and massage settings, as well as playing this or that music. In addition, the sedan was equipped with atmospheric LED lighting with 64 different colors.
Characteristics
In the process of restyling, the overall dimensions of the 2017-2018 Mercedes S-Class have not changed. The sedan still reaches a length, width and height of 5116, 1899 and 1496 mm, respectively. The wheelbase of the model is 3,035 millimeters.
The base power unit of the car is a 3.0-liter diesel "six", available in two versions. In the S 350 d modification, such a diesel engine develops 249 hp, and on the S 400 d version - already 340 hp. A more powerful version of the S 450 is equipped with a new in-line six-cylinder petrol engine with 367 hp.
You can order the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 222 with a 4.0-liter petrol V8 biturbo. On the S 560 sedan, this unit produces 469 hp, and on the "charged" modification of the AMG S 63, its performance reaches 612 "horses". All engines are paired with a non-alternative nine-speed automatic.
It is also worth noting that the S 450 variant is the only version of the model that can be ordered with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive - all other modifications come exclusively with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
He made his debut in two thousand and thirteenth, and in the spring of the seventeenth, at the Shanghai Motor Show, the premiere of its updated version took place. The car received a number of cosmetic changes, an improved interior, several new powertrains, as well as a semi-autonomous control system.
Outside, the new 2018-2019 Mercedes S-Class model differs from the pre-reform car in a modified radiator grille with three double horizontal chrome ribs on six- and eight-cylinder versions. On and on V12 machines, chrome vertical slats have been added to them.
Options and prices Mercedes S-Class W222 (2019)
AT - automatic 7 and 9-speed, 4MATIC - four-wheel drive, D - diesel, L - extended
For the sedan, the design of the bumpers was revised - already in the base of the Mercedes S-class 2018 in the new body, it received enlarged side air intakes, which made its appearance more sporty. At the rear, the car stands out with the exhaust pipes united by a chrome strip. And of course restyling did not bypass lighting.
If earlier the “tseshka”, “yeshka” and “eska” could be confused from afar, especially in the dark, now the Mercedes S-class V222 cannot be confused with younger models. And all thanks to the three "eyebrows" of diode running lights instead of one. For a surcharge, debuted on Multibeam headlights with automatic dimming of individual sections are available when approaching an oncoming car.
This is the work of the Intelligent Light System technology, which is here complemented by an Ultra Range beam for high beams, generating light output in excess of one lux for distances up to 650 meters. Retouched and rear lights that shimmer with a scattering of crystal sparks when locking and unlocking the doors.
By the way, the company also decided to change the design of the car keys, making them more stylish and solid. In addition, buyers of the updated S-Class can choose from rims with new patterns (five options have been added), available in diameters from 17 to 20 inches. Plus a couple of color schemes for interior design (combinations of gray magma with brown espresso and a red-brown version with beige).
As for the interior, the restyled version of the Mercedes S-Class 2018-2019 has a completely new three-spoke steering wheel equipped with touch panels for controlling the functions of the multimedia system, and two 12.3-inch displays on the front panel are hidden under a single glass, hiding the jumper between them. . The right screen never became touch-sensitive, but it has a split view function that allows you to show the driver and passenger a different picture.
And the car also got an interesting Energizing Comfort Control system, designed to create a certain mood due to the special work of the climate, heating and ventilation of seats, massage, aromatization of the cabin, as well as the game of 64-color lighting and even a specially selected melody. Six mood options are offered: Freshness, Warmth, Vitality, Joy, Comfort, as well as three types of Workout.
Autopilot and electronics
As for the autopilot on the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, it is able to control the sedan on the highway, not only keeping the distance from the car in front, but also making lane changes if necessary. To change the lane, it is enough to turn on the corresponding turn signal, and then the electronics will analyze whether it is possible to make a safe maneuver and, making sure of this, will perform it.
This autonomous driving system constantly checks with GPS data and works in conjunction with traffic sign recognition. Based on the received data, the autopilot can independently reduce the speed to the permitted speed or slow down when approaching the toll booths.
The new 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class can maintain speed and distance to the vehicle in front when driving up to 210 km/h, and change lanes on the highway up to 180 km/h. As for the adaptive cruise control, it can independently move off after stops lasting up to 30 seconds, although most analogues require confirmation from the driver for this.
Also, the restyled version of the S-class W222 received a Car-to-X system that allows the sedan to “communicate” with other cars (for example, exchange information about maneuvers and send appropriate warnings to drivers on the route). Plus, this system can receive information from infrastructure facilities (for example, about the imminent inclusion of a red signal at a traffic light).
In addition, the car is equipped with an active blind spot monitoring system, active at speeds up to 200 km/h, while at low speed (up to 30 km/h) the electronics are able to automatically brake in case of a risk of a side collision. The Evasive Steering Assist function has appeared in the list of security systems, which, in emergency situations, twists the steering wheel in the direction set by the driver, allowing you to avoid an accident.
And the new Mercedes S-Class 2018 model was equipped with a car valet, which can be activated remotely from a smartphone. Using this application, the car can park itself, or, on the contrary, leave the parking space. And here is the time to remember the presence of several new power units on the car.
Specifications
The former diesel "six" was replaced by an in-line six-cylinder diesel engine from a modular family. On the S 350 d modification, it produces 286 hp. and 600 Nm, and on the S 400 d - 340 forces and 700 Nm of torque.

In terms of technology, the flagship Mercedes-Benz S-Class was equipped with the Curve system, designed to deal with rolls (it is able to adjust the tilt of the body in bends up to 2.65 degrees), as well as an improved Magic Body Control suspension. The stereo camera of the latter now scans the roadway more thoroughly, and can do it at dusk at speeds up to 180 km/h.

In 2017, four years have passed since the start of production of the flagship W222. To refresh the look of the model, the company naturally decided to restyle the Mercedes S-Class.
With its release 5 years ago, the 222 body was the beginning of a new milestone in the design of the German brand. New generations of younger models appeared, Mercedes' signature features evolved. And although now the body does not yet look outdated, some of its features have become boring and no longer inspire that former awe and feeling of touching the car of the future. The Mercedes 222 facelift kit is designed to extend that feel of the new S-class.
Restyling Mercedes S class W222
What has changed after the restyling of the Mercedes S-Class 2018? The Germans did not get off with some cosmetic modifications. After restyling, the Mercedes W222 has added to the list of options due to new intelligent driving assistance systems. In addition, the engine range has been redesigned. However, the first thing you notice on the updated car is the modified optics and W222 body kit.
Our CarEngineering company offers to buy a restyled Mercedes 222. All parts are only original, from the manufacturer. You do not have to think about how to convert 222 to restyling, our specialists will take care of all the installation work. External tuning 222 is available in four versions: simple restyling C-class 2018, AMG Package, AMG body kit 222 and Maybach body kit.
Restyling kit W222
The updated Es-Class body kit can be immediately distinguished from the front by a single air intake that runs across the entire width of the bumper, framed by a chrome trim. The cut-out area itself has increased significantly and now the bumper of the standard version is in no way inferior to the character of the version from the AMG package. Body kit for 222 Mercedes includes:
- New front and rear bumper Mercedes 222.
- Headlights W222 restyling.
- Lanterns restyling S-class.
AMG package Mercedes S-Class
The AMG S-Class package differs from the regular version in the enlarged front bumper air intakes. AMG tuning of the C-class has become very popular over the past few years. Cars with a sports package are produced almost more than standard versions. As before, there is a triple mouth, but the side cutouts are filled with muscles, which makes the car visually even wider and lower. At the rear, the changes affected the bumper skirt and exhaust pipes. Elements of the Mercedes C-class AMG body kit:
- Package AMG bumpers w222.
- Headlights Mercedes 222 restyling.
- Lanterns W222 restyling 2018.
Real AMG body kit C-class
The aerodynamic body kit of the versions with the AMG engine is even more aggressive. This is exactly the 222 restyling kit that is installed on the most powerful and monstrously fast modifications of the S-class. It is distinguished by a black glossy insert across the entire width of the bumper, enveloping the huge nostrils of the bumper. In the same style, a diffuser is made at the back. On its sides are located double quadrangular pipes of the exhaust system. The S-class AMG body kit consists of the following parts:
- Front and rear AMG bumper 222.
- AMG grille S-class.
- Door sills W222 AMG.
- Optics restyling C-class.
Maybach body kit
Under the severity of the S-class Maybach body kit, the aristocratic features of the 222 body are even more pronounced. Graceful chrome moldings do not leave a hint of sporty notes. There is only majestic standing and lordly luxury. The body kit for the Maybach S-class includes:
- Front bumper Mercedes S-class Maybach.
- Rear bumper Mercedes S-class Maybach.
- Optics Mercedes 222 restyling body.
New LED optics
The restyling of the 2018 Mercedes S-Class 222 gave him a new Multibeam head optics. Outwardly, the triple “boomerang” of the section of running lights and turn signals immediately catches the eye. Instead of a double section of the main light, there is now a single lens and three small vertical crystals. The taillights were also updated. They are made in the same style as on the last E-class. Many reflectors create the effect of "stardust" sparks.
But besides the fact that the headlights of the Mercedes ES-class after restyling became fantastically beautiful, they also gained their minds. An increase in the number of LEDs made it possible to more accurately adjust the adaptive light beam. Each LED is responsible for a separate area, and the more there are, the higher the variety of final lighting options. The beam of light smoothly follows the turn of the steering wheel, more precisely turns off the high beam zones and even reacts to changes in the weather.
The necessary lighting is created by changing the brightness or completely turning off the LED segments. Video cameras record changes in traffic conditions and adjust the headlights so that maximum lighting efficiency is achieved while minimizing glare to other road users. The light beam recognizes the headlights of an oncoming vehicle and creates a dark area that moves with it. In the same way, the system also perceives passing cars so as not to dazzle their drivers through the mirrors. The computer adjusts the light beam even to road signs so that the intense light of the headlights does not reflect back from them and blind the driver of the Mercedes. And the light of these headlights is very powerful, the beam can work almost half a kilometer ahead.
Our company offers to buy a restyling body kit W222 2018. The craftsmen will install optics and bumpers. The new body kit will not affect the factory warranty in any way.
