The 2025 Mercedes-Benz S 580e needs no introduction, as its appearance already says everything that needs to be said. As the flagship of the Mercedes brand, the S-Class is the definition of pure opulence like no other in the history of luxury sedans. A recent review by Steven Ewing from Edmunds.com calls into question why you’d buy any sedan other than the S 580e, even the other S-Class models.
Luxury Meets Plug-In Power
No one would ever doubt the prowess of the S-Class as it has led the full-size luxury category since its official introduction as the S-Class in 1972. While the plug-in hybrid S 580e is the middle trim level, its 28.6 kWh electric motor is unique and works with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-6. Thanks to its battery pack, the S 580e seamlessly delivers 510 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Car and Driver says that the plug-in S 580e will jump to 60 mph in only 4.2 seconds, which is undoubtedly aided by the inclusion of 4MATIC® all-wheel drive as standard.
A Ride to Die For
When driving the S 580e, Steven said, “Riding on 20-inch wheels and a cushy adaptive air suspension, the S 580e soaks up potholes and smooths out even the most obtrusive speed bumps. It does so without being wallowy or feeling disconnected, too. Switch over to Sport mode and the S-Class hunkers down and corners with confidence, the electric motor providing ample assist for shooting out of a corner on a winding lakeside road.”
An Interior That Stands Out for Being Beautifully Crafted
The standout technology of the new S 580e, outside of the hybrid battery system, is the beautiful 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.8-inch OLED infotainment display. While other Mercedes models feature the Hyperscreen and Supercreen options, the S 580e tries to keep things more relaxed and instead shows off its gorgeous interior and perfect build quality.
Comfort Like No Other
Not only is the interior of the S 580e meant to look great, but it is also perfectly serene for all occupants. Sitting in the quilted leather seats with massage functions and embroidered pillows for the headrests, you will be treated to private jet levels of comfort. It seems Mercedes has thought of everything, including having heated seats with a heated center console and door armrests. That’s pure genius.
In Conclusion
How did Steven Ewing from Edmunds feel about the S 580e after his week with it? Simply put, he loved it, saying in his conclusion, “What makes the S 580e stand out? It’s additional battery-assisted shove gives it a sporting edge, and the fact that it'll do 48 miles of EPA-estimated electric-only driving gives it bona fide eco cred. More than anything, though, silent EV power really amps up the quiet luxury factor of a car like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Just ask your passengers — well, when they wake up.”
