What's New for the 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
An all-new 2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class debuts soon, so there's just one significant update to the outgoing model for 2006. To make S-Class ownership even more attainable, a new S350 model is offered with the same 3.5-liter V6 and seven-speed automatic transmission that is found under the hood of the smaller E-Class sedan and the rugged new M-Class SUV.
Advantages of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class:
- Standard all-wheel drive on S430 and S500
- Superior passenger comfort
- High-tech safety features
Objections to the 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class: - Fussy controls for the stereo, navigation and climate systems
- Options quickly inflate an already high price tag
Editor's Advice:
The 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class resides at the peak of the large, luxury sedan mountain. Although competition from Audi, BMW and Jaguar are fresher, the big Benz still holds its own as a commodious and plush people mover. But if you're a true enthusiast wanting ultimate performance and handling, we recommend a look at the Audi A8 and BMW 7-Series.
