Overview
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a five-seat luxury sedan for buyers after a petrol plug-in hybrid flagship with rear-wheel drive. The V223 generation, launched in 2022, starts from RM738,888 in Malaysia. The listed S 580 e combines a 2,999 cc powertrain, 509 hp and an automatic transmission.
S-Class in 2026 — what's new
The W223 S-Class enters 2026 in facelifted form. The update brings the MBUX Superscreen, a flat-plane V8 and trick suspension, while teaser information also flags i-damping and Level 4 autonomy. The refreshed model has arrived in Malaysia for the brand’s 140th anniversary world tour, and registration of interest is open for an S 450 4MATIC, with an estimated RM950,000 price attached.
Verdict
The listed S 580 e puts 509 hp and plug-in hybrid power into a rear-driven, five-seat luxury sedan, but its price sits above the Mercedes-Benz EQS, BMW 7 Series and BMW i7. It remains below the Mercedes-Benz AMG EQS. The 2026 facelift adds meaningful cabin-tech and chassis changes, so buyers who want the latest W223 should weigh the incoming S 450 4MATIC against the established S 580 e specification.
