Mercedes-Benz has announced significant updates to its flagship S-Class model for the upcoming 2024 model year, available for order starting late April 2024. The luxury sedan will debut with two new exterior colors, verde silver metallic and velvet brown metallic, and enhanced comfort features like upgraded front head restraints.
The 2024 S-Class introduces the latest Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system, enhanced for greater interactivity and integration of RIDEVU, a new streaming service from Sony Pictures Entertainment that allows for in-car streaming of premium content.
A notable advancement in the S-Class lineup is the integration of the Automatic Lane Change (ALC) function. This factory-installed feature represents an intelligent progression in Mercedes-Benz’s SAE Level 2 driving assistance systems, primarily supporting lane changes on motorway-like roads.
For those seeking the utmost in safety and luxury, the S-Class’s special-protection version, the S 680 GUARD 4MATIC, also receives all 2024 updates. It offers the highest civilian vehicle protection (VPAM VR10), safeguarding against ballistic impacts and explosives.
The customization potential for the 2024 S-Class is extensive, thanks to the Mercedes-Benz MANUFAKTUR program. This offers a range of personalization options, from unique paint finishes to bespoke interior designs, all handcrafted at the Mercedes-Benz facility in Sindelfingen, Germany.
Factory 56, the birthplace of the S-Class and other models like the Mercedes-Maybach and EQS, highlights Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to efficient, flexible, and digitalized car manufacturing. This facility sets a benchmark for future production strategies at Mercedes-Benz, focusing on digital integration and providing optimal support for its skilled workforce.
Mercedes-Benz emphasizes that while the updated S-Class comes with enhanced driving assistance systems, these do not substitute for driver attention and responsibility, and users should always adhere to operating instructions and system limitations.
The redesigned 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class arrives in the new year with a new platform, standard all-wheel drive, a mild-hybrid system supplementing revised engines, and a thorough tech overhaul. All those upgrades cost money, too, and the starting point of the 2024 E-Class increases $5,500 over the 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the brand disclosed Tuesday.
The E 350 4Matic sedan in base Premium trim costs $63,450, including a $1,150 destination fee. That’s a $5,500 price increase from the 2023 E-Class, but that was for the rear-wheel-drive model. A 2023 E 350 4Matic with all-wheel drive cost $60,400, so the price increase for a similarly equipped drivetrain is $3,050.
The new platform opens up more space in the E-Class sedan’s cabin. Mercedes has spun off coupe and convertible versions into a new model, the CLE-Class, that splits the difference between the C-Class and E-Class but is sized like the E-Class. The 2024 E-Class will still be offered in a forthcoming All-Terrain wagon model.

For now, Mercedes has announced pricing on the E 350 4Matic and E 450 4Matic models. Both engines pair with a 48-volt internal starter-generator, or mild-hybrid system, that provides power off the line and takes the electrical load off the engine. A 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard, as are adaptive dampers.
The $63,450 E 350 4Matic has a 2.0-liter turbo-4 making 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Engine specs may sound the same as its predecessor, but Mercedes says the mild-hybrid system and a new catalytic converter make it new.
The 2024 E 450 4Matic costs $69,250 and has a 3.0-liter turbo-6 generating 375 hp and 369 lb-ft. Mercedes modified the crankshaft, cylinder heads, and air intake system for better compression, while the exhaust system has also been modified to reduce emissions. A plug-in hybrid powertrain will not come to North American markets. Fuel economy estimates have not been certified by the EPA yet.
Wider by 1.3 inches and with a 0.9-inch longer wheelbase, the redesigned E-Class sedan embraces more aerodynamic proportions and features a curving roofline and flush door handles. The broader proportions expand the trunk space nearly six feet to 19.0 cubic feet.
Styling from its EQ class of electric vehicles carries over inside, with a new take on the brand’s Hyperscreen wall of dashboard screens. A standard 12.8-inch digital instrument cluster abuts a 14.4-inch touchscreen with a horizontal orientation, while opting for the available Superscreen adds a 12.3-inch passenger screen. The one pane of glass covering the cluster, touchscreen, and passenger screen limits the gorgeous wood and metallic trim to the door panels and console.
The standard E 350 4Matic rides on 18-inch alloy wheels and comes with LED headlights, an AMG exterior styling package, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless smartphone charger, ambient lighting, and a digital key. Standard safety features include adaptive headlights and a surround-view camera system, though Mercedes didn’t disclose if automatic emergency braking and other driver-assist tech comes standard.
For $2,550 more, to $69,250 on the E 350 4Matic, the Pinnacle trim adds an illuminated grille, heat- and noise-insulating glass, and a head-up display. On the E 450 4Matic, the Pinnacle only adds $1,550 more to $71,800.
Options include rear-wheel steering and an air suspension, but Mercedes didn’t disclose the price.
