Doha: Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles, the authorised distributors of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, presents the Mercedes-Benz 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 cementing 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 bi-turbo engine is among the most economical V-8 petrol engines in the world, and consumes about ten percent less fuel than its predecessor. 

With the previous S-Class, comfort and safety blended into one, which Mercedes-Benz referred to as “Intelligent Drive”. Now, the S-Class adds an additional layer of excellence by incorporating and enhancing a host of innovative driving assistance systems initially introduced in the previous model. These include the Active Steer Assist, Active Breaking Assist, Evasive Steering Assist and PRE-SAFE Sound. 

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.

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. 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.
