Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz

Styling


The W221 Mercedes S-Class' exterior styling is distinctly different to the Mercedes W220. The rear styling is similar to the Mercedes-Benz Maybach - the larger saloon from Daimler AG's flagship brand, which was presented to public in 1997.

Inside, the Mercedes W221's interior is also significantly different from the preceding model. The interior features an instrument cluster shroud that also contains the navigation screen, with silver effect air vents below, and a square, analog clock within the vents. Below the vents are metal tab switches with a black field behind them, to control the HVAC system. On the center console, a metal control wheel for the COMAND system sits above a piece of wood, surrounded by metal buttons. Throughout the interior, many buttons are metal, with black fields above them denoting the switches' function.
The Mercedes W221 is slightly larger in all dimensions than the Mercedes W220, with a longer wheelbase and more interior room.

The Mercedes S-Class is only available in the long wheelbase form in the USA.
