The Mercedes-Benz S-Class at a glance
The S-Class is the flagship Mercedes-Benz sedan: a full-size, five-seat luxury sedan with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive, AIRMATIC® air suspension and rear-axle steering on every 2027 model. Mercedes-Benz USA offers it with two engines, both with 48-volt mild-hybrid help: the 442-hp turbocharged inline-six in the S 500 and the 530-hp twin-turbo V8 in the S 580. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class stretches the wheelbase by 7.1 inches for a limousine-size rear seat and adds the 621-hp V12 in the Maybach S 680. For most buyers, the S 500 is the one to drive first: it’s the lowest-priced S-Class, it reaches 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, and it has the best highway mpg. Drive the S 580 next if you want the V8, and step into the back of a Maybach if you’ll be the one riding there.

Top 3 S-Class questions from Gilbert shoppers
S 500 or S 580: is the V8 worth it?
For most drivers the S 500 is enough: it starts at $112,550 MSRP, $22,050 less than the S 580, and it is rated 20 city / 29 highway mpg against 16 / 24. Its 442-hp inline-six already runs 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The S 580 is worth it if you want the V8’s 530 hp and 533 lb-ft, 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and its smoother, quieter pull at highway speed on the long run up I-17 to Flagstaff. Drive both back to back on the Loop 202 to feel the difference.
S-Class or Mercedes-Maybach: what does the extra money buy?
The Mercedes-Maybach S 580 starts at $210,200 MSRP, $75,600 more than the S 580 with the same 530-hp V8, and most of that money goes to the rear seat. Its wheelbase is 7.1 inches longer (133.7 vs. 126.6 in), which gives 47.2 inches of rear legroom against 43.9, and it offers two individual Executive rear seats in place of the bench. It is also 215.9 inches long, so measure your garage first. If you drive yourself, the S-Class is the better buy; if you ride in the back or have a driver, see the Mercedes-Maybach section below.
S-Class or EQS: gas or electric flagship?
The 2027 EQS 450+ Sedan starts at $101,450 MSRP, $11,100 less than the S 500, and it is fully electric, with 402 hp and a hatchback that holds 22 to 63 cubic feet of cargo against the S-Class’s 12.5-cubic-foot trunk. The S 500 is quicker (0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds against 5.7) and refuels in minutes, which matters on long drives across the desert. If you can charge at home in Gilbert and mostly drive the Valley, the EQS is worth a test drive; our EQS range in Arizona summer heat answer covers what to expect. Shop EQS Sedan inventory.
S-Class vs. BMW 7 Series
The BMW 7 Series is the S-Class’s closest rival. The 2027 BMW 740 xDrive starts $9,750 lower, at $102,800, and has the bigger trunk (19.1 vs. 12.5 cu ft). The S 500 4MATIC® answers with more power (442 hp against 394) and quicker acceleration (0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds against 4.9), and the S-Class line goes further up, to the V8 S 580 and the Mercedes-Maybach models. BMW adds a 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid with about 35 miles of electric range from November 2026; Mercedes-Benz USA’s 2027 S-Class lineup has no plug-in, so electric buyers should look at the EQS. The best way to choose is to drive them back to back; the S-Class is waiting at Mercedes-Benz of Gilbert.

S-Class or Mercedes-Maybach S-Class?
