The 2027 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Maybach S-Class Bring 140 Years of advancement Forward

The S-Class has defined luxury sedans for 140 years. The 2027 update brings the most comprehensive refresh in the model's history - more than 50% of components are new or refined. This is the deepest evolution a single S-Class generation has ever received, delivering a sedan that feels both familiar and fundamentally advanced.

For buyers in Longueuil and across Quebec, the 2027 S-Class arrives with a new operating system, a more expressive exterior, and a rear cabin that functions as a mobile boardroom. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class enhances this foundation with extended dimensions, exclusive materials, and flagship-level craftsmanship.

Powertrain Options

The 2027 S-Class offers two hybrid powertrains, both with AWD and a 23-hp integrated starter generator supporting a 48-volt electrical system.

The S 500 4MATIC uses a six-cylinder engine delivering 443 lb-ft of torque (472 lb-ft with overtorque). The M 256 Evo engine responds dynamically with increased torque, delivering an assured driving experience for confident highway merging and passing.

The S 580 4MATIC features a V8 producing 530 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque (2,500-4,500 rpm). This powertrain delivers effortless passing power and weightless highway driving.

Both engines include standard AIRMATIC air suspension. E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is optional, using intelligent damping to adjust suspension response in real time.

Advanced Handling and Lighting

Standard 4.5-degree rear-axle steering tightens the turning circle for easier urban parking. An optional 10-degree system is available - at low speeds, rear wheels turn opposite the fronts to reduce turning radius; at highway speeds, they turn in sync for improved stability.

Next-generation DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps with micro-LED technology project a twin-star signature and offer adaptive partial high beam that adjusts to avoid oncoming traffic while maintaining full road illumination.

The grille is 20% larger with three-dimensional chrome stars. For the first time, the standing Mercedes hood star is available with illumination, creating a distinctive nighttime presence.

MBUX Superscreen and MB.OS

The MBUX Superscreen is now standard, spanning the full dashboard width with three integrated displays. Powered by MB.OS - a purpose-built supercomputer - it controls every vehicle aspect from driver assistance to infotainment.

The fourth-generation MBUX interface introduces the MBUX Virtual Assistant with generative AI, using Microsoft Bing Search, Google Cloud's Automotive AI Agent, and ChatGPT-4o for complex, multi-turn conversations. Two avatar designs are available: "LittleBenz" with an expressive face, and a human-like avatar.

Navigation uses Google Maps, while MBUX Surround Navigation employs Unity game engine graphics for real-time 3D representation. Over-the-air updates keep the system current without dealership visits.

The passenger screen includes eye-tracking privacy technology. Dual Light Control prevents the driver from seeing passenger content peripherally while driving.

Rear Cabin Experience

The rear cabin positions the 2027 S-Class as a business tool.

The MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment System includes dual 13.1-inch displays and two detachable MBUX remote controls. These remotes manage entertainment, volume, ambient lighting, climate, and seat functions (adjustment, heating, ventilation, massage), plus power sunshades.

For mobile connectivity, the system includes an enhanced Teams Meetings app and front/rear cameras for video calls, transforming the rear cabin into a functional mobile office.

The optional Exclusive Package adds power-adjustable rear seats reclining up to 37 degrees, memory functions, luxury headrests, PRE-SAFE positioning, and a folding centre armrest with double cupholder.

Comfort and Convenience

New features include heated front seat belts, Digital Vent Control with personalized ventilation profiles, and an electric cabin air filter with ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL that purifies air every 90 seconds, filtering particles down to PM2.5.

The redesigned centre console features dual side-by-side wireless charging pads and illuminated cup holders. The multifunction steering wheel includes new rocker and roller controls - a rocker switch for Distance Assist DISTRONIC and a roller switch for volume.

Safety Systems

The S-Class features an enhanced adaptive restraint system with PRE-SAFE Impulse belt pretensioners and up to 15 airbags. MB.DRIVE advanced driver assistance uses up to ten cameras, five radar sensors, and twelve ultrasonic sensors, processed by AI algorithms trained on fleet data.

MB.DRIVE ASSIST includes Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Steering Assist, and Lane Change Assist as standard. MB.DRIVE PARKING ASSIST 360 offers improved surround-view displays with a 360 camera.

Mercedes-Maybach S-Class - Flagship Luxury

The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class takes the standard S-Class foundation and extends it into flagship territory. Built on an extended wheelbase, the Maybach offers additional rear legroom and exclusive materials throughout the cabin.

Maybach-Specific Features

The Maybach distinguishes itself through extended dimensions that prioritize rear passenger space. The cabin features exclusive trim materials, including natural grain woods and high-gloss metallic textile blends not available on the standard S-Class.

MANUFAKTUR Made to Measure reaches its fullest expression in the Maybach, offering over 150 exterior paints and 400 interior colours with one-to-one expert consultation. The consultation includes an immersive Visualizer, Centre of Excellence, and MANUFAKTUR Studio for viewing materials and finishes before final selections.

The Maybach's rear cabin includes the same MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment System and video conferencing capabilities as the S-Class, but with additional luxury appointments and materials befitting the flagship designation.

New Black Sparkling and Verde Silver Magno paints are available exclusively through MANUFAKTUR, along with vivid interior colours and new leather packages. Extended sculptural trim surfaces on the dashboard and centre console create a cohesive, flowing interior appearance.

MB.OS Supercomputer

Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) is the supercomputer controlling all vehicle systems in one intelligent ecosystem. Connected to the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud, it enables over-the-air updates for numerous functions.

This is the first S-Class using MB.OS as its central nervous system, delivering faster processing, greater computing power, and deeply integrated experience. It serves as the base for MB.DRIVE and MBUX.

MBUX Surround Navigation

MBUX Surround Navigation uses Unity game engine graphics for immersive, three-dimensional views showing vehicle position, nearby traffic, and upcoming road features - not a flat map, but an intuitive navigation experience.

AMG Line Package

The AMG Line package includes an AMG-specific front bumper with large air inlets and chrome trim, sporty rear fascia, dynamic side skirts, and wheels up to 21 inches.

Inside, it features a sports steering wheel with flattened lower section (first-time availability on Canadian S-Class), stainless steel pedals, exclusive sound profiles, and sporty red MBUX display style.

MANUFAKTUR Made to Measure

MANUFAKTUR Made to Measure offers over 150 exterior paints and 400 interior colours with one-to-one expert consultation. New Black Sparkling and Verde Silver Magno paints are available, along with vivid interior colours and new leather packages.

The consultation includes an immersive Visualizer, Centre of Excellence, and MANUFAKTUR Studio for viewing materials and finishes before final selections.

Interior Materials

Three new trim designs include natural grain woods and high-gloss metallic textile blends. New "Beech Brown" upholstery is available. Extended sculptural trim surfaces on the dashboard and centre console create a cohesive, flowing interior appearance.

The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class extends this foundation with flagship-level materials, extended dimensions, and exclusive MANUFAKTUR options for buyers seeking the top expression of luxury.
