Mercedes-Benz teases new S-Class on social media
Mercedes-Benz has given us a look at the front end of the upcoming S-Class. The official teaser definitely looks better than the impressions from the spy shots.
While the rear of the new S-Class has divided opinion, the front-end is certainly regal
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is due for an update later this year, a pretty big one at that. We have been seeing spy shots of the luxo-barge with heavy camouflage for quite a while. About two weeks ago a huge leak showed off the full car inside and out, without any covering. However, the quality of the photos gave an underwhelming first impression of the 2021 S-Class.
The official teaser looks much more pleasing. The headlights have a very slim profile as compared to the outgoing model, and feature three distinct elements. These elements have already trickled down to the E-Class with two, instead of three elements. Expect the C-Class to get a similar treatment but further reduce the count to one, as a diversifying feature. The blue inserts also make clear that these will be equipped with laser light technology. Overall, the front-end is much more modern than the outgoing one with simple clean lines.
Ola Källenius, Chairman, Board of Management of Daimler AG said the new S-Class will be a “technological tour de force.” and went on to praise the outgoing model but said “the new S-Class will be special.” We don’t doubt it. The S-Class has always been the benchmark for luxury saloons, year after year. Sure, the spy shots may have divided opinion, in the flesh the new S-Class will likely be a stunner. With the launch set for the second half of 2020, we'll find out soon enough.

Perhaps as much in love with Porsche 911s as he is with sneakers (and good food), Karan claims his love for cars started before he learnt to speak, even though there is a rumour around the office that he fell asleep while attending his first ever Grand Prix! He likes to find weird quirks about cars and dedicates a fairly large space in his head to random car facts and an equally large space in his heart for cars with cool specs. He came across this career path by chance, and going by how excited he gets as soon as new metal rolls into the office, he seems to be loving everyday of his journey as an automotive journalist.
