For decades now,Mercedes-Benzflagship sedans and coupes have been benchmarks for the rest of the automotive industry, epresenting engineering excellence, pulent luxury and state-of-the-art features that often not only trickle down to cheaper Mercedes models, ut to other brands as well. That certainly applies to the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, car that feels every bit as special and potentially groundbreaking as its illustrious predecessors.

After the current, ll-new generation debuted last year, 015 sees some previous family members return. The V12-powered S600 and S65 AMG models rejoin the S-Class lineup after a year off, ith the former boasting a bigger and more powerful engine than the previous generation's version. Most notably, hough, he S-Class coupe name makes its return after nearly two decades. Like the CL-Class it replaces, hough, he new S-Class coupe provides the same opulent interior quality and driving experience as the S-Class sedan, ut with sleeker, wo-door styling highlighted by a lack of a central B-pillar. As a result, here's really nothing like windows-down motoring in a big Benz coupe.

These new additions only bolster the S-Class' status as one of the finest cars on the road. Indeed, he latest-generation sedan feels like a step above traditional, dmittedly cheaper competitors like theAudi A8andBMW 7 Seriesin its design, uality, echnology and overall luxury ambience. Instead, t seems far closer to an upper-echelon brand like Bentley -- especially the coupe, hich stands as the only real apples-to-apples competitor for theBentley Continental GT. No matter what you compare them to, owever, he 2015 S-Class sedan and coupe definitely can be considered benchmarks.

Body Styles, rim Levels, nd OptionsThe 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a full-size sedan and coupe available in a number of variants, hich correspond to engine. Both body styles are available as an S550, 63 AMG and S65 AMG, hile the sedan adds an additional S600 and S550 Plug-In Hybrid.

The following are options on the S550 and the S63 sedans. The Driver Assistance package adds adaptive cruise control (with steering assistance and automated braking and accelerating) and a variety of electronic safety aids detailed in the Safety section below.

The Warmth & Comfort package also provides the power-adjustable rear seats, ut adds heating and ventilation, ront and rear heated armrests and a heated steering wheel. The Executive Rear Seat package adds "multicontour" rear seat adjustments and a passenger-side rear seat that features extra reclining and an extending footrest.

The S550 and S63 coupes also can be had with the Driver Assistance package and their own Warmth & Comfort package, hich has heated rear seats and a heated wood and leather steering wheel.

Stand-alone options on the S550 and S63 sedans and coupes include a night vision system, pgraded leather upholstery, 24-speaker Burmester 3-D surround-sound audio system and a heated steering wheel. Magic Body Control suspension, he surround-view camera and heated rear seats can be added separately to the sedan models.

All of the above options are standard on the S600 and S65 AMG. The latter also gets the S63's AMG-specific performance items.

Stand-alone options on all S-Class sedan models include a head-up display, refrigerated rear center console, heated windshield and a split-view front center display screen (also available on the coupe: driver and passenger can see different things). A fixed center console with heated and cooled cupholders and two airplane-style fold-out tables can be added to the Executive Rear Seat Plus package. There are also a variety of special "designo" paint, eather colors and trim types available.

Powertrains and PerformanceThe 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 is powered by a turbocharged 4.7-liter V8 engine good for 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard on the sedan. 4Matic all-wheel drive is optional on the sedan and standard on the S550 coupe. At the Edmunds test track, rear-wheel-drive S550 sedan went from zero to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, hich is quick but ultimately on par with similarly powered flagship luxury sedans. A S550 coupe 4Matic in our testing reached 60 mph in 4.7 seconds.EPA-estimated fuel economyfor the S-Class varies by engine, nd is20 mpg combined(17 city/26 highway) for the S550 sedan. Opting for 4Matic all-wheel drive lowers those figures to19 mpg combined(16/26). The coupe is rated at19 mpg combined(16 city/24 highway).

The S600 has a turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 good for 523 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque. The seven-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive are standard, nd 4Matic is unavailable. Mercedes estimates it will reach 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. EPA-estimated fuel economy is15 mpg combined(13 city/21 highway).

The S63 gets a turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 that produces 577 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. A more performance-oriented version of 4Matic and a different, pecialized seven-speed automatic transmission are standard. In Edmunds testing, he S63 sedan hit 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Mercedes estimates the S63 coupe will get there in 3.9. Fuel economy estimates for the sedan and coupe stand at18 mpg combined(15 city/23 highway). The sedan achieved 16.5 mpg on the Edmunds mixed-driving evaluation route.

The S65 gets a different turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 good for 621 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. It gets the same performance-oriented transmission as the S63, ut rear-wheel drive is standard on both the sedan and coupe. Mercedes estimates they will both reach 60 in about 4 seconds -- a number that doesn't really speak to their prodigious power. Fuel economy estimates are15 mpg combined(13/20) for the sedan and16 mpg combined(13/21) for the coupe.

Finally, he S550 Plug-In Hybrid features a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine and an electric motor integrated within the seven-speed automatic transmission. Together, hey generate a total of 436 hp. A lithium-ion battery resides under the trunk floor and should be recharged in less than three hours. This S-Class Plug-In Hybrid can drive using only electric power, nlike the previous-generation's mild-hybrid S400. Expect an electric-only range of about 20 miles and a 0-60 time of about 5 seconds. No EPA fuel economy estimates were announced at the time of this writing.

SafetyEvery 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class comes standard with traction and stability control (with crosswind mitigation), ntilock brakes, ront and rear side airbags, ull-length side curtain airbags and a driver knee airbag. Standard electronic safety features include a rearview camera, driver inattention warning system and a collision prevention system that will warn the driver of a potential collision and fully apply the brakes if necessary.

TheDriver Assistance package(standard on the S600 and S65) includes an active blind-spot warning system (will steer you back to your lane if you fail to heed its warning), n active lane-departure warning system (ditto), edestrian recognition for the collision prevention system, rear-impact detection and preparedness system and an advanced adaptive cruise control system that not only matches the speed of the car in front of you, ut will also apply the brakes and accelerator in stop-and-go traffic and keep you in your lane. Effectively, t drives for you on a gridlocked freeway.

Other options include a night vision system (detects pedestrians and animals through infrared sensors and displays them in the instrument panel) and a surround-view parking camera system. Mercedes' mbrace emergency telematics includes automatic collision notification, tolen-vehicle location assistance, larm notification, n SOS emergency services button, eo-fencing for valets and teenage drivers and remote vehicle controls (via mobile app or computer) that can unlock or lock the car, or instance.

In Edmunds brake testing, n S550 sedan with all-season tires came to a stop from 60 mph in a short 115 feet. The S550 coupe with summer tires stopped 2 feet shorter. An S63 AMG sedan stopped in 108 feet, hich is typical for a performance car on summer tires.

Interior Design and Special FeaturesThe cabins of most flagship luxury cars feel like bigger, ancier versions of "lesser" models, haring a general design aesthetic and many control components. Not so the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Even within the company, here is aclear differentiationbetween it and other Mercedes models, ndicating that this is a special car that exists above the rest. Even things like the seat control buttons are bespoke to the S-Class. More important, owever, here is an elegance and sense of opulence here that make it feel more like a competitor for a Bentley than a BMW.

Beyond aesthetics, ew cars can approach the new S-Class' comfort and infotainment features. The standard seats are lovely, ut you'd be nuts not to select the Premium 1 package's multicontour seats with their additional adjustments, entilation and six massage settings. That's right, ix. One even simulates a hot stone massage by utilizing the seat's heating elements. And just in case your rear passengers are the jealous sort, he same opulent front seat features (including adjustments) are available in the sedan's enormous backseat. Plus, ou can add an entertainment system, irplane-style pop-out tables and even a fridge. Those aren't available on the coupe, ut even its backseat is pretty generously sized for a two-door car.

All of its many infotainment functions are controlled by the latest iteration of Mercedes' COMAND system, hich remains one of the most user-friendly around (even if its immense number of functions renders it a tad overwhelming at first). Compared with the setup in other Mercedes-Benz models, he S-Class'upgraded COMANDinterface features a colossal central screen, nique graphics, new-for-2015 touchpad controller and a different physical button layout (buttons for frequently used functions are grouped around the main control knob rather than on the dash). Immediately adjacent to the infotainment screen is the instrument panel, hich itself is an equally large display screen complete with simulated digital gauges.

The trunk, s you might expect from a 17-foot-long sedan, s sufficiently large at 16.3 cubic feet. Note, owever, hat the available 24-speaker Burmester high-end sound system "significantly" reduces trunk space, ccording to Mercedes. The S550 Plug-in Hybrid also has a smaller trunk (12.2 cubic feet) because of its battery pack.

Driving ImpressionsEffortless. That's how the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class feels when you're behind the wheel. The steering is fairly light, nd when equipped with lane-keeping assist and/or Distronic Plus cruise control, t will even subtly steer the car for you. Still, ou'll be surprised at how adeptly this very large sedan and coupe will hunker down and go around a corner. So well-rounded is the S-Class Sedan that it earned anEdmunds "A" ratingfor both the S550 and S63 AMG. It should come as no surprise then, hat the S550 Coupe also earned our top"A" ratingas well.

You may think you've enjoyed a comfortable ride before, ut it most likely pales in comparison to the adjustable air suspension fitted as standard to the S-Class. Not only does it iron out bumps, t does so without a hint of floatiness. Plus, he ride gets even better with the sedan's optional Magic Body Control. Utilizing a windshield-mounted camera, he car detects bumps and other imperfections in the road ahead and automatically adjusts the air suspension to compensate. We're not exaggerating when we say that large speed humps can feel more like pebbles.

The way the regular S550 gets up to speed is also, ell, ffortless. Acceleration from the turbo V8 is ferocious, et its noises are reduced to a whisper inside the cocoon-like cabin. You're more likely to hear the AMG models, ut they're not as vociferous as other AMG models. You're also more likely to get into trouble with Johnny Law since they get up to speed quicker than many sports cars.
