About the 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG S-Class
6th-generation S-Class family (W222 sedan, C217 coupe, A217 cabriolet), second model year after the 2018 mid-cycle update
Mercedes-AMG positioned the S-Class as a blend of top-tier luxury-car comfort and sports-car acceleration. Handcrafted V8 or V12 power, adaptive suspension, rich cabin materials, massaging seats, widescreen displays, and advanced audio make it suitable for long-distance travel as well as rapid performance driving. Sedan, coupe, and cabriolet bodies give the same core idea different forms, while AMG tuning separates these models from comfort-focused S-Class versions.
The S 63 is the more athletic version, pairing a 603-hp twin-turbo V8 with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed transmission. The S 65 takes a grand-touring approach with a 621-hp twin-turbo V12, rear-wheel drive, road-scanning suspension, Nappa leather, and high-end 3D audio. Both were sold as sedans, coupes, and cabriolets with dual 12.3-inch displays, navigation, smartphone integration, and massaging front seats.
