Miles Overview
This is Mercedes-Benz's flagship sedan, the car that sets the tone for the whole S-Class line. The S 500 and S 600 both deliver a silky, effortless ride that makes long trips feel short. Inside, you get a hushed cabin with plush leather, heated seats, and an electronic dashboard messaging system. Owners note that electrical issues can cascade, and repairs plus premium fuel add up quickly. The S 500 uses a 5.0L V8 instead of the V12, which saves weight over the front axle and improves handling. Its 5.0L V8 makes 302 horsepower and pairs with a seven-speed automatic, delivering smooth, effortless acceleration. Expect around 17 mpg combined on premium fuel, which is typical for a large V8 sedan of this era.
