The 2018 Mercedes S-Class comes with a three-spoke steering wheel that is different from its current two-spoke setup. It also comes with an infotainment system and instrumental cluster.

The enhanced S-Class will use one of the new engines unveiled by Mercedes some months ago. Instead of the 335kW 4.7-litre V8 engine, the revised S-Class will be powered by the new 355kW 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with 700 Nm of torque.

The 2018 Mercedes S-Class also comes with an electronic driver assist feature that includes navigation data for automatic acceleration, automatic braking, and partial self-driving system. To date, the facelifted S-Class will reportedly be launched in either the New York motor show or Shanghai motor show which will take place next month. The revamped S-Class sedan will roll out in the market in the third quarter of the year.
