Despite the Mercedes Benz w221 S-Class being out for a few years now, the flagship luxury car has once again been named the best new luxury car in the Auto Express “New Car Honours.” This makes the 3rd consecutive year the Mercedes S-Class has won the award, yet another further testament to the luxury sedan’s impressive dominance in its respective segment.
According to Auto Express editor in chief David Johns: “Few cars have reigned over such competitive sectors with such complete authority as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. To many there simply isn’t a better limousine. Beautifully engineered both inside and out, it’s one of those rare cars that is as good to drive as it is to be driven in.”
Dermot Kelly, managing director of Mercedes-Benz, added: “The S-Class has been an enduring success with press and customers alike and accounted for one in every four luxury saloon sales last year. We are delighted that Auto Express still recognises S-Class as the best luxury car in the sector.”

Owners of the new Mercedes S-Class have yet another reason to bask in the superiority of their premium luxury sedan. The reason this time is the W221 S Class took the highest honor in the latest J.D. Power APEAL study, earning the position of top-performing model by outscoring both the Lexus LS and Porsche 911.
The award is just the latest trophy Mercedes-Benz can put on their mantle by J.D. Power. As you may remember, earlier in the month the E-Class and CLK-Class were both given Gold Awards for boasting the highest vehicle quality in their respective classes, while Mercedes’ Sindelfingen manufacturing plant managed to earn J.D. Power’s Platinum Award, meaning it’s the assembly facility with the best delivered quality worldwide.
