Reliability & safety rating

4.5 out of 5

As yet, the current Mercedes S-Class hasn’t been crash-tested by Euro NCAP, however there's no reason to be concerned about driver or passenger safety. Most of Mercedes’ line-up has achieved the full five-star safety rating in recent years, while the German brand finished 18th in the manufacturer category of our sister title Auto Express' 2018 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey. The S-Class also comes with many safety features as standard, with even more to choose from on the options list.

Mercedes S-Class hybrid reliability & problems

It’s too early to tell how reliable the latest S-Class will prove to be, however previous models have been very reliable over the course of their lifespan. Like many German manufacturers, Mercedes has a reputation for high build quality, and issues with its plug-in systems are almost unheard of.

Safety

The Mercedes S-Class comes with collision prevention, active parking and attention assistance systems as standard. Mercedes’ Driver Assistance Package costs an extra £1,695, and includes semi-autonomous driver aids that can help with steering, braking, observing speed limits and keep the S-Class in its lane on the road. Blind-spot monitoring and evasive steering systems also feature. Night vision is a separate option on the S-Class, priced at £2,080, or as part of the winter package.
