The new plug-in hybrid Mercedes-Benz S 560 e, which provides more power, more range
Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles, the authorised distributors of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, presents the MercedesBenz S-Class, the undisputed leader in the premium segment regarding comfort and wellness, setting new standards in the interior. The ultimate in modern luxury car is available at NBK Automobiles showroom on Salwa Road.
The flagship model has been comprehensively modernised and is confirming its role as a technological trailblazer with new engines and enhanced driving assistance systems. The top-of-the-range model of Mercedes-Benz takes another big step towards autonomous driving and elevates Intelligent Drive to the next level. Its precise attention to detail is seen within every corner of the car, from the wood-leather steering wheel to the crystal-look tail lamps.
The S-Class offers a new level of comfort for the driver and passengers. Thanks to the world-first ENERGIZING comfort control feature, the driver and passengers can now link various comfort systems such as climate control and massage functions. This feature also allows customers to configure specific wellness set-ups to suit their mood and enhance physical comfort and performance on the road.
The Mercedes-Benz S 560 boasts a V-8 engine that comes to the starting line with 345 kW (469 hp) and 700 Nm. The biturbo engine is among the most economical V-8 petrol engines in the world, and consumes about ten percent less fuel than its predecessor.
To lower fuel consumption, four cylinders of the V-8 are simultaneously deactivated under partial load with the help of the CAMTRONIC valve-lift adjustment system. This reduces gas-cycle losses and enhances the overall efficiency of the four firing cylinders by shifting the operating point towards higher loads. The turbochargers positioned in the V of the cylinder banks represent another special feature.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class made a technological statement of superiority in 2013 with ROAD SURFACE SCAN. The system detects bumps ahead of the vehicle and adjusts the ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension accordingly. In the S-Class this suspension control is further improved. The stereo camera of the system now scans the road even more thoroughly, even in dusk and at speeds up to 180 km/h.
Another comfort enhancement is CURVE, the curve-tilting function available in the S-Class sedan for the first time. The body tilts to the inside of the turn by up to 2.65 degrees and thereby reduces the centrifugal forces perceived by the passengers.
Modern luxury in the S-Class is affirmed with the highest quality materials and uncompromising workmanship. All models are fitted with a new radiator grille: the versions with six and eight-cylinder engines sport three twin louvres as well as vertical strips with a high-gloss black finish. The V-12 model variants are fitted with additional chrome-finish vertical strips in the radiator grille. Seven light-alloy wheels with diameters between 17 and 20 inches have been introduced on the model.
MULTIBEAM LED headlamps and ULTRA RANGE High Beam turn night into day. The ULTRA RANGE main beams produce the maximum light intensity permitted by law, which results in the brightness of the main beams remaining above the reference value of 1 lux over a distance of more than 650 metres. For the driver, this means a clear improvement of the already excellent lighting performance of current MULTIBEAM LED systems. The Adaptive HighBeam Assist Plus permanently activates the main beams without dazzling surrounding traffic.
In conjunction with the MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, the S-Class features three distinctive torches of light as an exclusive design element. The front bumper with pronounced air intakes and sporty looks is also new.
Another Mercedes-Benz hallmark is the high-quality look and feel created with the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship in the interior of the S-Class.
These include open-pore woods as well as leather-trimmed doors and dashboard.
The material and colour concept has also been carefully composed, and features a wide range of brown tones, including colour combinations such as magma grey/espresso brown or mahogany brown/silk beige
