- Is your 6-Series coupe not feeling special enough? Perhaps you've decided you need something more decadent than a Maserati GranTurismo? Spendier than the average 911, but more comfortable than a Panamera? There are a few options in America, but if you want to be less flashy than a Bentley or Rolls Royce, there is but one option: The S-Class coupe. Is it possible to review a car that has no "true" competition? Let's find out.

I’d gladly be the second owner of this gorgeous piece of engineering. Let the first guy take the biggest depreciation hit.
Thats what i did lol got one with 11k miles on it for $91k lol original price 9 months before was $153k lol
@@ESMorg how many miles did it have
@@MrRocktex1978 11k
@@ESMorg was it a certified one from a MB dealer? I am thinking of buying a 2019 with 41k miles at 82 thousand certified giving it another year or 2 of warranty. DO you think it is too expensive or too many miles. The car looks new tho. Seems like your car is a better deal.
The 8-series competitor from Mercedes is the E-class coupe, it's much more similar in every way. Just because BMW gave their model the number 8 that doesn't change anything about the car, it's nothing but a 5-series coupe with limited rear seat space and nowhere near as luxurious as a S class.
It is actually 7-series based now instead of 5-based as the 6 was, and it's larger than the 6, but there is something about BMW's flagship models...they don't really standout compared to the flagship models from Mercedes, Lexus...even Audi, Jag; BMWs best cars are their smallest ones and they tend to get more and more anonymous the bigger they get.
I think the 8-series is more a Porsche 968 kind of car. Not quite GT but not outright sporty as well. GT layout but with sporting aspirations, similar to Ferrari GTs. The E-class may be compared to the 6-series.
No it isn't. 850i smacks E class coupe in any variant out of the park. 0-60 3.6s? The E class doesn't even come in AMG63 variants.. pathetic
@@ConstantineJoseph Just because there's an overlap in performance doesn't make them rivals. The E-class Coupe is based on the E-class. The 6-series coupe is based on the 5-series. THAT MAKES THEM RIVALS!
@@mziwendukuntsele671Still I'll never get a shitty E class. E300 is what? a 4 banger small ass turbo unit. E400, a V6 with twin scroll not even a bit turbo, not even an AMG. Also reliability and after sales is SHIT. The after sales distributor from where I am are arrogant, snotty and think all their customers are multi millionaires.
So BMW is for me. m850i, way way better than the last M6 and maybe I'd wait to get the M8. A true supercar capability with a service team that panders to you and your cars every need like a butler
It's heartwarming that cars like this are still available. I agree, if you were going down this path, the cabriolet makes more sense in the "bling" department with not much decrease in functionality. If the trunk space isn't enough, there's always the rear seat area for more stowage given people who buy this car are obviously not intending to carry 4 passengers on a long trip.
The $1,750 Swarovski option sounds kind of inexpensive for this car. I'm surprised that option isn't $7,500. Or $17,590. But what a fun option, if only to talk about it, at this price point.
You just are actually partially paying for it even when you don't get that option. That way when you do get the option there's the illusion that the option is relatively inexpensive.
I work at Mercedes. One headlight costs 3200€ as a spare part from Mercedes. So 6400€ for the pair.
KingCarlofcarlWorld they get you when you need to replace it for whatever reason
As soon as you have a traffic accident, people will be running onto the street to pick up bits of your headlight.
Once you realize the headlights for a 2013 E550 coupe that turn as you turn the wheel go for about $1,250 EACH, you will think thise crystal lights on the S-class are not a bad deal after all.
The swarovski crystal option may be the most over the top, wildly unnecessary thing I’ve ever seen. But I guess at this price point the thinking is f-it why not.
i can see those getting stolen in the US.
lol wonder if it’s the same people who keep stealing accord sport rims
I guess you've never heard of the twinkling constellation headliner in a Rolls Royce.
No they look good
i love this beautiful Mercedes S560 Coupe! the best ever!
This is such an intelligent review - it carefully details the nuances about the S560 that potentially separate it from other options, while being objective about the overall quality and price comparison. Definitely helped me make my purchase, thanks for taking the time!
The s class coupe and CL will always be my dream car
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, especially while under quarantine! I've always loved the S class coupe (CL) and sedan. Now I'm going to look for your cabriolet video.
Not for Uber at all
UberBlack?
@@bvedant uber is for losers
Another great review with all the information a car buyer could want!
@Alex on Autos Dude!! Mercedes Boy?!? (@9:22) LMFAO!! I haven't heard that joint in years!! I surprised you even know about it. Somebody watched a sh#*load of MTV growing up. LOL!!!
Great review, Alex. What happened to the back seat? I can remember shopping the old CL in 1999 and in 2009 and was impressed that no other coupe had a “real” back seat and could comfortably cruise with 4 aboard. Too bad they devolved into a “2+2” like the Lexus, BMW, Maserati, Bentley, etc.
Great video , great car.
But to be honest i feel the cabriolet is a great car compared to this.
Drop top and driving in a sunny day with all those luxury thats a dream.
i do wonder how much the S560 cabriolet second hand costs in america ?
Impeccable and detailed video, as usual. However, one thing I'd like to point out. The radio system is by BurmESter and not BurmEISter. :-))
Swarovski? Now my wife loves that!
Looks SO much better in the thumbnail.
Most informative S-Class coupe video.
Loads of power holy smokes
Alex, Do the people who inherit the money to buy these actually watch reviews?
They pay others to watch it for them
@@Bazlightyear007 Yeah, reaching a little bit on the target audience here.
Salty much...
2018 e400 coupe bought new for half that cost and the roof opens.
cpear760 that's 330 horsepower this is 460 horsepower , smoother ride and soft touch doors and seat massage . Cheers .
@@ashegheaty
Exactly.
No comparison
The pricing reality in the States and in Europe is like two different worlds. Audi R8 here costs the same as Mercedes S65 AMG, about 350,000 euro.
LC500?
That was going to be my question too! Lacks the rear seats, but how many buyers in this class even care? Rear seats just become a place to throw your coat.
Did I miss something? The length of this 560 is 198” and the length of the 2019 Amg GT is 179”, so why does he show the Amg GT as longer?
Was not expecting this. Happily surprised
The Granturismo is long in the tooth, plus I think it's a law that you have to be Armenian to drive one (at least in LA).
The Maserati Gran Turismo is the only Maserati i would even think about buying except maybe the Levante Trofeo which has a monster engine built by Ferrari.
I don't really like this generation of Mercedes interior. It looks baroque in the worst way. I kinda miss the staid interiors of the 90s, for example.
how about the LC500
Idk LC500 is cheaper and has a great interior and exterior
17:15
He explains why its cheaper
Antonio Akiki he actually didn’t. Lol lexus constantly builds cars they hold up and last longer then German’s cars
Toyota4Life quality and reliability is two different things. The mercedes is nicer and more luxorious in all senses compared to the lexus. The lexus is more reliable yes, but no more
3lmanana Reliability and quality goes hand-in-hand
Antonio Akiki clearly You have been experiencing Lexus LC 500 it gives up nothing to this car and Uses expensive carbon fiber pieces through out chassis and still cost less. Quality and reliability goes hand-in-hand without reliability there was no quality.
The bentley is nothing compared to the S Coupe. Especially the AMG63/65 Coupes. Bentley is still in the year 1998 while the Merc is 15 years ahead of any other car on the road.
But, then, branding, branding.
It’s unbelievable how a car that’s possibly is less technologically advanced (the Bentley) is still considered more luxurious. That’s the power of a brand.
I’m a Patreon contributor and love your videos, but too many times you say a car has no competition when they really do... I strongly believe you should expand your views... in this particular case, I could definitely cross shop this and a 911, an 8 series, and maybe even an R8... (at least, I am right now...)
The Granturismo has been in production for 12 years with no significant changes. Laughable
They gave it Chrysler UConnect straight out of the Town and Country of the time a few years back and that's about it--still using a 2004 Quattroporte steering wheel
Wait 2 years and pick that bad boy up for $30k and 2 goldfish.
YOU MEAN 70K-80K, THIS WONT BE 30K TILL 2024 BRO!
Yes, $30k at the junkyard.
Do they offer a bulk discount if ordered in quantities of 7? Such a great deal, I could do one color for every day of the week.
Still my dream car.
I really dislike the new Mercedes dashboard design. I've never liked the "tacked on ipad" look.
Berrymouse finally someone else who thinks it look out of place. But because it’s BENZ these people won’t complain
Why 9/10 for the front seat? Why not 10/10?
Because its not Lincoln's perfect position seat.
@@joecool9739 if u ain't got more than 30 ways u aint getting that 10/10
Mohammad AlBazzaz because he's driven Rolls-Royces too lol
@@bvedant the Mercedes seats are more comfortable than the RR
@@ajunaibi99 it's highly subjective
If one is seriously considering this 2 door coupe you should check out the Bentley GT with the V8 as well. You may as well. Otherwise it's the S63 for me!
Don't joke about BMW 8 being a competition. It is NOT! Mercedes has quite usable rear seats, while in BMW 8-series you cannot sit even a child in the back.
Great review!👍🏿
The interior is amazing, but the exterior could be better
The old CL500 was much better looking
Lol no it wasn't. The old CL was so generic and looked cheap.
Really hasn't changed much in a decade. Mercedes has always been like that.
Pretty sure the V12 in the S65 has 738 lb ft of peak torque (not 783). It's the same engine that's in my '15 S65 and that's the torque figure I remember...you musta transposed the 3 & 8. Also, I'm not sure about the 7 speed rationale you gave - I honestly think they just didn't want to spend the development costs to mate it to a 9 speed as they know the V12 is being discontinued.
Yah, the S63 is faster but guess what...you pull up to one at a stoplight in your S65 and *you know* the S63 driver is thinking "Damn, he got the V12. That's boss."
S65 comes only as RWD.
LOL. I was never into Mercedes and as I watched this review, I was thinking maybe I'll get it. Then at the end, I hear $125k. LOL.
Kenji Yagi click bait buddy
Uber and S560 shouldn't be in the same sentence
UberBlack
KingRANC30 Lol yeah ik but still
Alex you forgot the SL Class is the original Mercedes 2 door coupe. It's still in production, with the next generation expected in 2022
17:05 24 mpg for 4.0 Turbo V8 is Cra~~~~zy!
That's a sexy car!
Mercedes Boy.
The v12 is slower 0-60 not because it's heavier (it is not much heavier) but because it struggles for traction (like all of its v12 bi-turbo predecessors)
Btw this car technically can’t be an Uber because it has two doors your car has to have 4 i think
Yes, I'm sure the CEO buying this car is worried about that.
@@justrandomthings319 of course! the CEO Ubers around to satisfy shareholders
That's a nice song you've chosen 8:55
Rather have the Lexus LC500 V8 instead. Better quality, cheaper (better value), better looks inside and out design wise. Even the Lexus engine sounds better and the lexus will feel exclusive because no other Lexus has its interior where this S560 all the BENZ interior it looks the same
Better quality? Haha. No.
SDav21 yes. The LC500 is composed of a bunch of carbon fiber bits through out the car and it’s still cheaper then this.
Toyota4Life I’ll take either , but now I’ll take the Mercedes . The LC is incredible
@@Toyota4Life And yet it still performs worse. Quality? Nope.
SDav21 Performs worse ? The Lexus feels much more sporty then this boat. It’s also more nimble and the Lexus motor sounds better. Only thing this Benz has over the LC is it makes more power because of the turbos. But the LC V8 is much more fun to drive and responsive
I would like the crystal shifter.
Great review. But, these transitions are unlike anything from the past and very distracting. Some are just unflattering to the content. But as always, this was a very thorough analysis! Thank you!
15:30 Handling isn't grip Alex >< And if I were looking for a comfortable, capable coupe, it would be an LC500 or a 911. I don't really see why I would ever want more luxury or prestige than that. (the Conti GT is mightily tempting, but that much money for anything is just insane.)
i like this car
They need to drop the Zonda 7.0 L V12 in this bad boy
You can get it with the 6.0 biturbo. That's the S65. Same block as the Huyra but different turbos.
what do you mean when you say that the air is thinner up here with The S class coupe. Does that mean that the car has thinner air inside
Yass for Pebbles 😭😭
There's a picture of the dashboard. On the dashboard. 10:24
ok, this is a direct competitor to the 8 series, even tho the us only got m850i. it is not quite a competitor with the gt, that gt is more like an e53 coupe competitor. however, it is a step down competitor to the wraith and continental. its just like a kia k900 or acura rlx or genesis g90 with bmw 7, benz s and audi a8. I don't understand why people say the 8 series is a competitor to the e coupe, it clearly is not. both s coupe and the 8 are their flagship models, as well as the similar dimensions. also, if we recall the old 6 coupe bmw discontinued, that thing basically turned into the 8 (similar dimension), and that one was really close to the s couple, (not pricing wise tho lol..) but think like the s couple is like a kia k900, and continental/wraith are like the 7 series/a8.
Why is it that we don’t get amber turn signals in the U.S. but they’re usually always found on Europe models?? I was wondering this after realizing the refreshed Cadillac CT6 has amber turn signals over seas that look amazing but here they’re not. What’s up with that??
Ahh "mercedes boy", dating yourself here Alex ;)
If I see one of those Swarovski crystal units in a parking lot it's going to take a lot of self control for me to not take out a jack handle and smash the shit out of it.
4800 pounds without the driver in it,5200 pounds with the driver in it?
WtFook does that mean u some type of wise guy…………SAY!
I don't like it. No fog lights? Guess they have to keep the cost down some way.
We get them in Europe plus its cheaper
Am I the only one who think someone did a voice over for him. His face does not match his voice. He sounds so young. Def a voice over.
the one thing I will never understand with vehicles this expensive is people who get them, get them to throw them away in a few years. You would think someone investing a quarter million dollars would actually take pride in their investment.
A car is not an investment.
An investment is something that’s expected to appreciate in value. A car, any car, will always deprecate in value, thus cannot be considered an investment.
The rich simply are too rich to care, that’s all.
The Über Coupe for the Über Couple .How did you miss that?
What if the couple drives for Lyft, and not Über?
Uber taxi?
2:44 The turn signals ARE amber
Alex, for the thigh extender, does the entire bottom cushion extend for length independent of the seat back like the older S-Class models or does the front of the seat bottom roll up like the Lincoln Continental?
You forget to mention AM DB11
I understand it is S class but why hit viewers ears with super accentuated Ss
Will you ever review a 2019 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT??
1:58 omg did any other head phone users hear the fart? 😭
Wtf
😂😂😂😂....I can't stop hearing it now....
One day
I never understood why something like this has less leg room in the back compared to 4 series coupe. I had no problem sitting behind myself in my e93 M3 (helps I'm not 6').
no more 4k video?
Wow
I think I’ll keep my Chrysler 300.
What NOOOO save the V12!!! I’m hating Electric cars more and more!!!!
I agree with you to save all naturally aspirated engines especially V12 but if i had a choice for driving id take a 5 litre V8 souped up because it would be not nearly as heavy as the V12
What is that paint called looks dope.
Same back seat leg room as the Audi A3 convertible!!
Absolutely pathetic!
No one ever sits there, so it doesn’t matter.
Lexus LC500!
What’s the exterior color called?
Too rushed! What’s the hurry matey?
Love the car...but not a fan of the grill.
Is this a vehicle or a car?
❤❤❤
Go ahead and get a CPO Bentley Continental.... This way you’ll always be superior to that one guy you insist on being better than at your country club.
Can you swap peanuts for this car 🚗 that would be really nutty yes
The. two door not a good idea for work
I don’t know Mercedes refuses to use fog lights! They prefer the through slabs of fake geometric shapes. Which almost no one appreciates nor wants!
Hey Alex, Genesis G80 that you tested before was “quietest ever tested” too 🙃
Is the s class coupe better then i8 and 8 serious?
They’re different, the 8 series is sportier, the s coupe is luxury before sport
Alex can u do a Tesla model S review? Thanks!
Good, I'll bring the marshmallows.
