This is the brand new 2021 Mercedes-Benz S class. Prototypes for Mercedes-Benz’s next-generation S-Class have been spotted again. The car is due for a reveal in September and should be available at dealers shortly after as a 2021 model. It’s clear the new S-Class has some big shoes to fill. Luckily for it, it will adopt a new platform, in this case Mercedes’ MRA design for rear-wheel-drive cars. The current S-Class rides on an updated version of its predecessor’s architecture. Every powertrain will be electrified, either with mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology, and most engines will either be a 3.0-liter inline-6 or 4.0-liter V-8. There won't be a battery-electric version as Mercedes plans to launch the EQS to cater to EV fans. The EQS, previewed at the 2019 Frankfurt International Motor Show by the Vision EQS concept car, is also expected for the 2021 model year. But getting back to the new S-Class, there will be much more advanced self-driving systems, including perhaps a Level 3 system. This is where the car can handle its own in certain situations, leaving the driver free to do other things. However, the driver will need to be ready to take back control at a moment's notice. Inside, the dash will still consist of a dual-screen setup, but the secondary screen will increase dramatically in size and be mounted in a portrait orientation. Mercedes has also confirmed that buyers will have the option to add three additional screens in the rear to enable rear-seat passengers the ability to control the vehicle's infotainment and comfort features. Another improved safety feature on the 2021 S-Class is the upgraded Pre-Safe Impulse Side function. This feature inflates the seat air cushions to move front passengers towards the center of the vehicle in the event of a side impact. Simultaneously, the E-Active Body Control suspension raises the vehicle to divert the force of impact through the lower, stiffer structure of the S-Class. It's as if the car puts up its shoulder to take the brunt of the crash while pushing you away. #Mercedes #MercedesBenz #MercedeBenzSclass #mercedessclass2021 #newmercedessclass2021 #2021mercedessclassworldpremiere #2021sclass #sclassteaser2021 #mercedessclass2021releasedate #2021sclassmercedes #sclass #sclass2021 To get more, go to playlists https://www.youtube.com/c/autoomoto/playlists?view_as=subscriber Mercedes-Benz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4xP2dnM2bM&list=PLhjprTn8z0yJUqyJYEW9VV6Fq2ppacz1H Via: AUTO OM OTO
