2018 Mercedes Benz S450 (W222) Review, Walkaround, In-Depth Tour, and Test Drive
It's no surprise if I tell you that in my opinion, the W140 S Class is still the best S Class ever made. However, I cannot argue about its look being tremendously boxy and outdated for modern standards. To make up for this, Mercedes Benz, then under the Daimler-Chrysler merger/fiasco developed the W220 S Class which was plagued with some issues, to say the least. Thankfully, post-Daimler-Chrysler Mercedes Benz released the W221 S Class which is exceptionally beautiful, but what if I told you that they could do better, and better they did.
The W222 S Class is, hands down, the most beautiful piece of machinery that I have seen on the road just next to ultra high end cars such as Rolls Royce and Bentley. It is not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. It's doesn't only have looks, but also character. The Mercedes Benz S Class W222 is automotive design perfection.

I prefer this over the W223, but wouldn't mind having either one. 😊
Same haha!
Well detailed review Kyle! Keep up the good work
Thanks
Super detailed review bro! It's like you've scratched almost every surface 😁
😂😂😂😂
Great review man! I was able to drive a w221 many years ago. These are my favorite Sedans.
Still looking for a 221 to review myself hehe! Love the look of the 221 too
Been anticipating this!
Finally here
So fresh! Not a single scratch! 😍
man why are you so good with these car reviews. You deserve more subscribers!
Thanks for the kind words haha! Glad you like the videos
I also agree with that man, this guy deserves a lot more subs than he has considering his quality reviews of every single car!!🔥
Thank you :)
Another nice review keep it up and early 10k subscribers *prediction* i hope ur channel will grow more :)
Thank you!!
This is it!!! The Merc S Class!!!
I was thinking before when you announced that you gonna review an S Class, was S 520. 😊
But still an S Class!!!
Superb review Kyle, as always! 🥂
S500 you mean? Or S550? Close enough haha :) thanks
One of the best S class reviews. Well done!!
Thanks
@KyleLiongCars Can you do a reliability test for the car after 4 years of its release? I think it will help alot of people for those who are buying a Used W222 from 2017-2018 onwards.
@gautamsehgal9683 sadly I don’t own the car
The new teslaesque W223 is underwhelming in a design perspective. This W222 have that perfect balance between classic and modern design. The interior can even rival a Bentley or Rolls.
It's obvious that the newer one is aimed at a younger audience.
Anyways great review, you've always been a connoisseur of Mercedes.
I agree with you. I prefer the W222’s interior way more than the W223. Has a more classic but elegant design
@@KyleLiongCars
Definitely, btw I came across your W140 at carousell.
You should just keep it ! It would definitely be a future classic, not to mention the car's history.
I’m torn between selling it and keeping it haha! I’ve been looking at Miatas, Boxsters, and LS Lexus hehe
@@KyleLiongCars
Haha ! That's a tough choice.
The Lexus LS is very tempting though. A perfect balance of luxury and reliability. Just get the Ls haha, and won't ever worry about expensive repairs.
I’m leaning towards the LS myself hahaha
Honestly, I heard more noise than your pervious W140 video. This car is amazing in nice roads only when everything is working. Even, your smile is different than w140 video. I could feel you were happier there.
Well, the W140 is closer to my heart haha
The most handsome S-Class ever! My favorite limo aside from the Lexus LS!
Agree! I also love the LS
Nice looking S class. Well detailed review kyle. You hit all the stops. Bimmer forever. 🤗🐫🙏
Thanks! Hahaha I have had Bimmers too! I have an F30 now. Still prefer Mercs
The old LS430 is smoother than any S class! The S is the benchmark because of it's groundbreaking tech.
Everything is smoother in the lexus in my experience. The LS430 and LS460 are my favorites👌
I love those 2 cars as well haha
Very nice. I think that the V222 facelift is one of the best looking cars Mercedes-Benz has ever made. The changes to the headlights and grill just sets it apart from the pre-facelift variant. I think the three LED stripes in the taillights are somewhat reminiscent of the ribbed taillights that Mercedes-Benz used to have.
I disagree with you about the steering wheel. While I would also like to have a wood/leather wheel, the three spoke design is much better, IMO.
Just a question, though - can the rear seat passenger still control the front passenger seat even when there is someone sitting in that seat? I've always been curious about that. Is there some sort of a lockout to prevent the rear seat passenger from operating the front seat? For instance, if I am using this car as a family car, I certainly wouldn't want the kids to play around with the front seats!
I agree with the headlights too haha! For the seat control, I wasn’t able to try it. Will let you know next time I get my hands on another W222 :)
I thought the facelift w222 450 uses the inline 6 cylinder with EQ boost
Yes elsewhere but not for the PH market
Those run flats. Over all great review you have definitely changed my view of newer S Classes🎹🎶
Still hoping to try out the W223 myself and it might change my views on it haha
@@KyleLiongCars although I still like the style of the W140.
Like the soft touch on the doors 🎹🎶
@@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12 Soft touch materials in the interior or the soft close function?
@@KyleLiongCars sorry I ment soft close haha. They remind me of the soft close fallboards on pianos made nowadays btw the fallboard is the lid covers the keys. Japanese/European made pianos even have locks🎹🎶
@@MERCEDES-BENZS600GUARD_V12 Actually the soft close function was only standard on the higher end models. Optional for the I6 engined ones so mine doesn't have it, unfortunately.
Finallyyyyyyy w222 facelift It’s my favorite series
I think it's the most beautiful, but I still think the W140 is the best hahaha
@@KyleLiongCars the w140 slogan has always been “ the king of s class”. I also have one the 1992 500sel and it’s the best car ever. The engine runs good, the suspension is tight and everything is perfect and I just sold it recently because the radiator blew up while I was in the traffic, it was pretty tragic
@@timevscars Oh boi, if you follow my vlogs on mine, my radiator also blew up hahaha! I just had it replaced and all's good now
@@KyleLiongCars in TH-cam right?
Yep
Hey Kyle. It looks good. Nice classic cars for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
The future of the vehicle for insurance company.
Mid-size Sedan Papi!!! 👌🏻👌🏻💯💯
Full size pa rin
@@KyleLiongCars kaya nga pero ayaw namin ng Papa ko na bago gustong-gusto nya ay luma during 70's 80's at 90's
Ganda rin old S Classes :)
@@KyleLiongCars kaya nga at syempre ka-modelo nung buhay pa Lolo ko ay W124 mismo
Should I get this or a 2020 C43? They’re the same price CPO lol
That’s really a personal preference thing
It's a bit sneaky/misleading of Merc to put a 3.0L V6 in an S420.
They’ve been doing that since the dawn of time haha
ride comfort vs. 221 sir?
222 slightly better
I get a laugh when this kid says it's long in my day that is a mid-sized car. I grew up with big cars that were 3 ft. longer than this lol. some over 20ft long.
Those days are long gone
Kinda early
nice
