About the 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG S-Class
6th-generation S-Class: final model year for the W222 AMG sedans; next-to-last model year for the C217 coupe and A217 cabriolet.
Mercedes-AMG positions the AMG S-Class as S-Class comfort and technology combined with hand-built high-performance engines, stronger brakes, and sport-focused adaptive suspension. Its defining appeal is breadth: it delivers very rapid acceleration and confident handling without giving up a quiet cabin, massaging seats, advanced displays, or long-distance comfort. The S 63 emphasizes traction and agility, while the S 65 emphasizes effortless V12 power and rear-seat luxury.
The S 63 blends everyday comfort with a hand-built 603-hp V8, performance AWD, massaging front seats, and dual 12.3-inch displays. The S 65 sedan takes a more luxury-focused approach with a 621-hp V12, rear-wheel drive, road-scanning suspension, expanded driver assistance, and a 26-speaker audio system.

“The S63 AMG coupe is a beautifully styled car offering comfort coupled with great driving performance, maneuverability, and state-of-the art technological innovations. It's also very fun to drive. It definitely stands out in a crowd.”
“I don't think you can really tell or prepare someone for the S63. It's innate, you know from within if you want that car or not. Sure driving it will be a plus but I didn't have to drive it to know I wanted the S63 AMG coupe .”
