MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS (2006-09) S500 4DR SALOON 5.5 AUTO
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS (2006-09) S500 4DR SALOON 5.5 AUTO is a large luxury saloon, positioned at the premium end of the UK used-car market. It offers formal styling, a spacious cabin and a cosseting ride, competing with the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8.
The S500 suits drivers seeking comfort, passenger space and relaxed long-distance travel. It works well for business journeys or chauffeur use, and can carry family passengers in comfort, but is less suited to first-time drivers or anyone wanting a low-cost runabout. Its 5.5-litre petrol engine delivers smooth, confident performance; expect fuel and maintenance bills to exceed those of smaller saloons.
