My grandmother got one of these fully loaded back in May and everything the guys said in the video is very accurate. I drove it for a couple weeks while she was away and it’s an amazing car to drive.
why your granny would need such a big car like that?
@@asr1143i guess she is just rich and has a driver for her
@@asr1143it seems like no one drives s classes anymore except for really old ppl.
@@asr1143 She's only ever had S-classes. She has two right now, a 18" S560 she keeps up here in Boston and the S580e is down in FL where she spends the winter.
@@Wasabi9111 Because young ppl have no money for it :DDD?
I have had mine for the past two months. Absolutely outstanding car. 55-60 ev miles in warmer weather. 45-50 ev miles now that winter has arrived. Couldn’t be happier. It is the best transitional power train until ev becomes ubiquitous.
The S580 is such a nice ride and a pleasure to drive. So awesome on the highway.
Plug-in hybrids in Canada are perfect dailies and road trip vehicles. We just got a 6seat XC90 Recharge. 60kms of electric every day for school, 3 kids worth of activities and grocery runs. Getting ~2000kms per tank now and thats with a few 200km+ round trips to Toronto and back (including a trip to get my car scanned at TuxMat). I think we can push it to 3000km/tank.
Enjoy your TuxMat!!
That’s what we have been begging for
In the USA . With hybrid you can get the best of both worlds but unfortunately auto makers think they know the people nowadays but by the time they realize their models are not selling a bit . C63 is a prime example
3000km on one tank is absolutely crazy and it’s a 3 row??
@@viccao8431 yea
@@viccao8431 Yeah! I had plug-in hybrids written off because the first batch of them had such low electric only distance, but these new ones from Volvo, Mercedes, etc have 60+ km of range which makes them hyper-efficient if your daily needs are less than that or if you can charge during the day.
Ahh yes, if there's one thing S class owners care about, it's fuel economy
Finally. This is the one for me. 90 km range gives me full electric for 90 percent of my driving and for longer (one hour) highway trips it basically erases half my journey. 45 mpg here we go! A great idea to have a generator motor like the optional one in the bmw i3. But Benz knows its demographic. An occasional visit to the pump won’t bother them one whit!
There is cupholders at the back. The first push opens that phone holder. Push again slightly but not all the way in and it comes out more with the cupholders.
You are not demonetizing these old chaps of mine!
I just bought one yesterday. It’s black with red/black interior. It’s an amazing car.
Can you turn off recupation/regeneration completely?
A plug-in hybrid is definitely the way to go if you commute to work and take regular 100+ mile trips on weekends/holidays.
This made me envious even as a R232 SL owner. If the GLS/GLE does this, it's gonna be the perfect winter car. Instant buy!
Completely Agree, Best S-Class!
EQS levels of powertrain NVH with an actual S-Class ride quality.
Why couldn’t the eqs be like the s class?
such a nice piece of tech .. nice review guys ..
10:23 if you slightly press on it again it reveals the cup holders
Thank you Mercedes for still making classy, subdued German sedans. 👍
Love these dude 🎉
Best pass-time for my graveyard shift break.
I’m on the Westcoast
Pretty sweet hybrid system and that range is nice.
So i have the 97 s420. The thing i wish they would put on the newer models is the double pane glass for more quiet drive and not to mention bullet proof to most pistol ammo
while everyone is busy ruining the way their cars look, mercedes just stuck with this. good to see.
I love the 90’s on 9…the speech version of the visor test
Hope you guys see my comment.. Been watching your awesome videos for years now , love every one !
We see you. Thank you!
Thanks. I bought one yesterday.
Jarvis is a great addition to the team. Wonder what he drives
Morgan 3 wheeler
A blue miata, a black century...
I would love this car as a everyday commute car. ❤
Pretty cool Jakob did a voice over to start this one.
The British editor voice over is such a nice touch. Big fan
Charles will love to read this!!
@@TheStraightPipesdamn dude even got the most British name ever
Just started the video, wonder if it still creaks when you press on the trim.
Crazy how they made the c300 so nice mini s class
This vehical is nice
Not sure if you guys ever read the comments- I bought a set of Continental tires for my Blackwing; because they are a sponsor of your channel. When I went to the Conti website to get my rebate, there was a long list of questions on what influenced me to buy. There was TV but no CZcams option. I found no where to attribute the purchase to you guys. FYI
Lets gooo boys!
Peasant blockers. Love it 😂
This looks so much better than anything it competes with and anything full ev Mercedes is producing. Why can’t they just combine the EQS drivetrain with this design? Kind of what BMW is doing with the 7, but way less ugly.
Right?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 is literally like a dream car of my life and is my prefered Mercedes-Benz model if I wish to buy one. Also, when it comes to German full-size luxury sedans, I don't know if I could choose that over the BMW 7 Series G70.
Well for one based on mechanics advice, specifically S580e, yes they can nice to drive in the short term but this one of the least reliable w223s you can actually have, the 7 series maybe polarising but also lesser issues I suppose as nowadays Mercedes reliability is going down
@@seansiew5629, by the way, I still trust BMW and I'm going for the 7 Series G70 over the S-Class W223. So, for reliability, I go for the 7 Series G70. For design, I go for the S-Class W223.
Nice intro narration mate!
Charles will love to read this!
3:42 that seems like perfect implementation
Can this merc charge the battery with the ICE like a toyota camry can?
Looks like the perfect car to me!
Do they have a similar PHEV system on the E Class? I'm sure not everyone wants something as big as the S Class as a daily driver.
Yuri, you might be thinking of the McLaren Speedtail which comes with a wireless charging pad. Manny Koshbin has featured it on his channel.
Maybe!!
I always wonder if a basic s class could be okish for daily drive or you have to use options to make it bearable to own 😅
Anybody have issues with the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel?
I can't wait for the s63e
Can it charge itself while driving or can it be charged only by plug?
Pretty sweet hybrid system 😀
verified and 0 likes and well now 1 reply
16:00 Mac Speedtail charges by driving over a magnetic pad! Doesn't even actually "connect" - just magnets! How do they work?
The Generator mode is going to be a ticket magnet for idling laws. Your car sitting there charging on its own with its own engine, you not in it, ya that's gonna be a fine magnet. Especially in major cities
at 175k it better be really good; cars need to be reviewed in relation to how much they cost, which these two usually do, but other reviewers sometimes try to review as if they forgot the cost of the car and complain that a 35k doesn;t do this or that
There’s like no 35k cars anymore to review :/(
$175k CAD for this is insane when it'll depreciate like a rock & rack up electrical/ electronic issues in a short amount of time
Definitely not true, Mercedes-Benz has really improved their reliability and their PHEV's are very good.
@@aidan1585the poors like to make things up
Not so money pits. Never own, lease only. Design to be a recycling disposable car.
Sweet bronco tumbler boys! I see that!
You know🤔 the moving brake pedal thing has been on mercedes cars for a while now, my 2007 CLK does that with normal cruise control, it's especially noticeable going downhill.
The random "you are not demonitizing my friends" comment caught me off guard, but cool to see a reg S class 😂
Luxurious powerful machine
I like how Yuri quizzes him where he drove for two hours - solid jealous boyfriend / girlfriend vibes
Ha! Nice TSP x TH collab.
Jacob rocking a pepsi gmt master 2 with an oyster bracelet, my man is ballin.
🙏
wish they made the glc hybrid available here
See this is why i think the Eqs is obselete because this is a plug in hybrid and the EQS is fully electric so why we cant have a full electric version of the s580 why when you go fully electric it has to be a whole new model like at this point they might as well make EQ a brand
Have a 2020 Volvo XC60 T8 plug in hybrid right now, hate it. The battery died at 48,000 miles and the electric system doesnt work below 25 degrees F
Really nice to see David Attenborough as a guest speaker
He’s not cheap, but he is a great addition
"Mr. English" is a great touch. Lmao!
Nice tutorial, I know how to drive it now, next where to get a free s580😂
I drive volvo s90 as a daily driver comfort enough but i think i should consider sclass in my list for looks and comfort
I love the British guy talking in this 😂
Timeless.
Cool I could plug it in at my outdoor condo parking stall and it would charge... haha.
10:26 "pen holder popup"? 😆 That's for your phone!
Lol that makes more sense
There is the Audi A8L, too & possibly the Jaguar XJL if they still build that model
You 2 will have to yest the Cyber Truck next
I wish they made an E-class wagon with a 4cyl engine and hybrid system. Would buy it in a pinch.
RIP Mercedes non V8's. We need TSP reviews on the AMG GT & Cybertruck 🙏
Have the TT V8 version of this car and it's spectacular
I hate that they don't give you guys the better version. We have the S580 4matic that has the 4L biturbo V8, it also has a supercharger and a small electric motor. It's got every kind of propulsion lol
We already reviewed that one
@@TheStraightPipes oh nice! The AWD paired with all of those power sources makes it feel like a rocket!
Take out the e from the 580 and it os great. I don’t fancy hybrids.
There is the plug-in hybrid 7 series 745e 😉
Are those dust specs on the dash or are they displayed for a purpose? Didn't get a "dash shot" to tell if they were there to provide depth or something.
Dust
@@TheStraightPipes Dust
My X5 can do commands like "Hey BMW, play TikTok radio." That may be a thing in iDrive 8.5. If you ask by SXM station number it actually repeats back the full name for the station.
Agree on all the EV commentary. I try to drive 100% EV whenever I can. The silent, powerful, magic carpet ride is an absolute treat.
Plug in hybrids are the Hannah Montana of drivetrains
Isn’t the pen pop out also the cup holder pop out?
I am going to Manifest this car tonight.
How was it in pure gas mode without battery assistance?
Not possible, always some level of assistance in any mode
Whoever was doing the butler voiceover deserves an award & should be credited in the show notes. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It's AI
Our friend Charles from across the pond
That little compartment behind the screen is the perfect 407 ETR transponder shelf
My 2022 G82 comp def will play an XM channel if I voice prompt it to. Not taking anything away from your video, just saying 🤣 7:33
Try this exact same request in the same words and report back. Yuri's tried it on all the new BMW's and it doesn't work
If your 2022 has the hard buttons 1-8 favourites it can do the request BUT if the hard buttons are gone it can’t
@@YuriTereshyn yeah I have 2022 with the hard buttons. I've tried the new iDrive 8+ touch only and I gotta say I don't hate it. They made some thoughtful "always accessible" touch points that make me like it. Also the media area is the size that the 2022 should have been (so much dark / non-screen space in the area) that makes me want it, otherwise I love having the hard touch buttons🤙
Juri: Where'd you drive for two hours?
Jacob: Everywhere
Rear seats arm rest has 2phone holders not pen holders bro
I love the S class...even if I can't afford it...but if I could, I still wouldn't buy an EV/Hybrid.
Yeah we have the TT V8 and it's amazing
You'll grow up, don't worry
Dudes! There is a rear seat cup holders! You just didn’t know how to open it! 😂 great video though!
I was disappointed that tux mats doesnt make any for the audi a4 all road
It looks way better than the 7 series.
that's not saying much. anything and everything looks better than that
No, w221 and w222 looks better than the new S class, and also 7 series seems to be a more of an expensive built car than this S class is, the interior itself doesn’t scream class especially with that protruding screen which looks like a rather budget afterthought than on the 7 series, that 7 series is overhated because it doesn’t look like a BMW, but rather of a Rolls Royce judging the boxy profile up front
Rolls royces are beautiful, so the 7 series isn't styled after that.
@@user-xw4vg1vy5e well BMW owns Rolls Royce, the engines and the i drive system are taken from BMW, after the Spectre, the upcoming Cullinan facelift would embrace the split headlight too, don't forget BMW has their own way of invigorating Luxury
Yuri literally said "Hey Mercedes" and spawned a Mercedes ad
benz for lifee
Def an S class
My X50e has all the same stuff as this car and costs 100k less...Also my highway assist is truly hands free on the highway...I don't have to touch the steering wheel at all on trips...That was the most annoying thing of having adaptive cruise in the past imo
Cool story... Does everyone... Like the styling... Of the x50... Is the x50 what....everyone think of... When they have... A lot of money and want... The most... Luxurious vehicle... Or do they... Want... An... S Class?
@@stanlee3619 Paying 100k more for nothing more in return is a poor investment. For that price you are getting close to RR and Bentley prices which are even more luxurious and sought after.
Not sure why folks want wireless car play. My phone battery drops fast on wireless CarPlay. So I always plug it in when using it 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Exactly what we’ve been saying
Last gen S class looked way better inside and outside
I dearly agree,which is why I think the G70 7 series is my favourite, and coming from w221 and w222 s class
The exterior goes for the new one while the interior absolutely goes for the old one.
Interior for sure was way nicer and classier in the last one.
Is not true. This new one looks better.
That intro
Da Jakob, I like ze plugeen hybreed also. It iz ze perfekt meedle ground.
56 miles on electric only is crazy good, especially for a vehicle as heavy as this.
I honestly feel like ALL phev should have a minimum e range of 40 miles. And i do not understand why they dont already do that. I mean, at the risk of sounding uneducated, im gonna go out on a limb and say.... Just put a bigger battery in?? 😂
I dont understand some of these other phev that gives you 10 miles on electric. Like bro wtf is the point. Either just make a traditional non phev parallel hybrid, or if youre gonna give people the option of a plugin, throw a big battery in it.
To be Honest i use to critize new cars but this S Clasw is the best ever
4:16 min - love the car, but it needs aluminum gas/brake pedals and dead pedal. 👌🏾
Doesn’t this have the “older” dash/infotainment system?
No it can go zero layer
Thats actually a good looking car. And "HYBRID" is the way forward. EV might be a reality one day as infrastructure catches up. But if you like your freedom as a human, you have to keep gasoline or diesel around or governments will control your movements. Just look around in recent lockdowns. There was nothing governments didn't try to restrict your movements. Be wise....choose wisely.
Did you actually think before posting this?
I imagine you have a phone, if the gov’t wanted to track your movement, that’s what they would use to track you. Also, plenty of gasoline cars already have internet available, that’s another way to track your movement.
The recent lockdowns because of the pandemic? You sound like the person that’s scared of his own shadow.
agreed with every point of yours. true face of government came on covid days.
