@@snggarageengdrives just like w222 , same car , except big ugly , “Tesla”looking tablet in the middle … w222 has classic Mercedes interior , w223 doesn’t
@@damirzanneso true!
Lots of nonsense blabbing here , first of all, I’ve never heard that everyone buys w222 for someone else , or company , or to be driven in , or whatever , here in America we buy w222 to own it and drive it , and not to be chauffeured in , second , ambient lights in w222 are of course, possible to set up any way you like , from changing the color , to changing the brightness or turning it completely off , and so on, and so forth … w221 is a great car , but w222 is an improvement, I own w222 S550 , and it has been a fantastic car … I’m not sure what this video is all about, but I wouldn’t pay much attention to it …
enjoy your w222 )
Yes such a bullshit video 😅
W140 stays the father of s class
yes, I lived in Stuttgart , Germany , back in 1991 when w140 first came out … they were ahead of their time … friend of mine was a designer at Porsche , and he had to ride in one when they first came out , he was super impressed by the car … w140 started a new modern age of Mercedes S class I think … but then again , I’m from Europe, and owned many deferent Mercedes models , and they were all fantastic vehicles , from old fin tail and w116 to w222 , Mercedes never let me down
I've owned a 2007 W221 S550 for nearly 6 years. It has 186k km on the clock. It's due right now for an ECM replacement which I'm sure will cost more than the car itself. There's also the transmission circuitry that's a well-documented problem with the 221 that I've been told has been solved in the 222. And I've replaced coils on my 221 at least 4 times. D'oh!
uuuuuu did you enjoy it ?
I am the driver and owner of a Mercedes s class w222 the 350d variant.
What a superb motor. The best car I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot of cars...
Believe me this is on a different planet to other cars.
you are right sir ! but i do prefer more w221
We are different and love cars from different planets ☺. The W222 is absolutely gorgeous. I've been a sedan & coupé guy for decades, and my dream combo is Jaguar XF sedan (X250, LCI) & BMW 6 Series coupé (E63, LCI). I'm more into sporty driving than luxury and comfort.
I bought last month a w221 2011 S500 Designo version fully loaded with rear entertainment and massage seats, ventilated seats and heated seats and so much more - lower than the market price and was well taken care of. it was a rare catch! I love it! I just wish the command can be upgraded for android play. I just hope future maintenance dont break my pocket :P I am in Dubai too! I would love to show you my car and feel free to make a review video!
There are ways to integrate carplay an android auto regards of the command software
agree) thank you for watching
@@nigelpereira1698 Yup! Plenty of ways to make a OLD 221 seem more like the 222 that everyone claims they don't want lol.
If I say I love plain vanilla Ice Cream, but I want it to taste like chocolate then how does that make sense? Just a question
It’s not ideal but you can always buy an FM transmitter. That’s what I have in my W221, as I can’t find an aftermarket stereo/head unit that looks close to OEM and not tacky. If you don’t known what a FM transmitter is, you plug it into the cigarette lighter port and it creates your own FM radio channel, connect to Bluetooth and play your own music.
It totally can, the best is 12.3 Android radio. Look it up ⬆️
Just got a 2011 W221 S500L today with only 17000Km and still smells new. The owner has 9 cars and put this one away as he needed a Mercedes-Benz V class to chauffer him back and Forth, l am stoked..... Had pre-sale full 3rd party inspection and only minor issues surfaced. Bought it for £8000 in Hong Kong.
congrats ! what milage you have ?
@@snggarageeng 17453Km and l had an independent garage do a detailed inspection, found a few things 1 strut Possibly in 10000 Km need a pair of front Bilstein Airmatics
There are many misleading statements here along with purely personal opinions !
please tell me where did i misled with my statments . there are many personal opinions , agree with you
I owned both. I liked the 221, but I loved the 222. I now have a 223. I adore it!!!❤
thank you for watching
Between 221 222 and 223 which one is your favorite?
As an MB owner I really like this channel. I like the A/B comparison with the 221 & 222. And I like this man's points of view. Thx again!
thank you for very nice comment )
White W221 SWB owner here (2013 M276 3.5 NA engine 306hp)… I wish I had the V8 but other than that, the car has been amazing over the last two+ years. Bought with 60k km on the odometer (japan import) & currently at 178k km… still looks and feels amazing and I agree that this generation will always be special.
Having said that.. I also agree with most of the comments, your review is a bit too biased and I think you can’t see it..
maybe ) what problems you have with w221
Excellent Presentation .. My Favors are w126 ( I own 560sec , & w140 ( I have 1s500 ,300sd ,and Yes Excellent the"350Turbo too .. No problem ..,at all just regular "attentions "
w126 are rare cars today
W221 best s class ever 🔥
i need to drive w223 )
W223 look naw w222 not bad w221 amazing 🔥. W220 😅 hold this L
Nope w140 is the best and reliable one u can see w140 in taxi in Africa. And Albania
In Germany the w222 is not considered a chauffeured car at all. It’s doing very good and especially since the used car market is halted due to chip crisis and long waiting list for new orders. Meanwhile you barely see any w221s anymore..same thing unfortunately for CL vs S-Coupe. You even see more s cabriolets than CLs. The only thing even rarer are SLs
is w140 popular in Germany ?
neither is here in US … also not many w222 here in US , very few w223 and w140 are still around … no A or B class at all , C and E mostly , SUV are pretty common GLC , GLK, GLA , GLS
Love the commentary. 2007 W221 S550 4Matic owner for 10 years and going. 118k miles.
nice ) very happy for you. I think S550 has best engine
@@snggarageeng yes, a real V8
You are hilarious. I am going to watch all of your videos.
thank you for watching ) i do enjoy making these videos
I like the the front and back of the 222 but I prefer the side of 221.interior, I like them both. But I agree with you, 221 wants you to drive it, 222 want you to be driven.
But since I don't like the 223 and who knows what the next one after that will be like, I'll take my time with 221 & 222. I'm still enjoying my 220
thank you for watching) what engine do you have in W220?
@@snggarageeng S430 it's nothing compared to the bigger ones, but it definitely does the job for me until I get the 2010 version of W221.
I have a w222 2017 S550 the car came with the executive and sports package. P. S. It came with 20" wheels.I added some 22 AMG Style 14 spoke turbine chrome wheels to it it's a beautiful car to me go figure. I've had some beautiful cars all my life. By far this is the most comfortable car to drive and to be driven in that I ever had.
enjoy it sir ) nice wheels )
I might seem like a nerd, but it's better to say the 221 and 222 numbers in codenames as "two-twenty-one" and "two-twenty-two" correspondingly. I know it sounds weird at first glance, but it feels kinda better to hear than "two-two-one" and "two-two-two"...
I bought brand new a W221 AND a W222 and I must say, you don't know what you're talking about AT ALL. I will just let it be your opnion and you really should state such in your post because it's purely YOUR opinion. I don't even know where to start with this post so I will close with this, as stated I own both models and they are both amazing however my W222 has cost much less to maintain and looks nicer....in.my opinion.
thank you for watching . Agree with you on maintenance
Spot on! I've been driving the W221 for the past 14 years, spent quite a lot on maintenance. But I love the car and intend to keep the car until I'm too old to drive.
thank you for watching! what engine you have?
@@snggarageeng S350L
I drive my S-Class's! Love the W221 too. Went from back to back W222s ('14 S550-4 & '18 S560-4 back an entire decade to the W221 ('09 S550-4)!! All V8 TTs & 4Matic.
W221 is best for me , I own one S 550
UUUU that is nice , What year it is ? what is your milage ? do you have problems with airsuspension ?
The nonsense about design is absolute idiotic. The W222 will age like a fine wine. No doubt.
I own a 2015 S63 sedan and I love how it switches from luxury to sports car so that I might enjoy the best of both worlds
it is good car but i do not feel its soul
W221 is in high demand because it's what most can afford!! If you can afford a 222 0r a 223 you WILL NOT IN MOST CASES, WANT A 221 LOL. But I guess that's because I have a 222 I guess but I don't see how some fenders keep's making you guys say 221
what kind of 222 you have ? Do you think it is more luxurious compared to w221 ?
The 222 doesn’t stand out as an S class. It is literally a large C/E class. They 205 C, 213 E, and 222 S are the same exact car just small to big.
All yall saying it's what people can afford sound stupid. How you know what someone can afford. W222 with good miles only going in the mid 20 thousands there's w221 that still cost more. I can afford a w223 and still thinks the w221 is a better looking car.
If you want a driver's car the S-Class is an odd choice. It's all about comfort. W222 is more comfortable.
Has more gadgets. Not more comfort
The S Class is definitely not a driver's car. It's one of the reasons why I've never considered buying one, although I've been a sedan & coupé guy for decades.
Coming from a 219 owner I will say I’d love to have the 221 in my collection.
thank you for watching
Love your commentary, "new mistress every year" 😂🤣👍Dui parties🍻🤭😜😛
thank you )
But I would prefer the w222 facelift or pre facelift , Fine with both. According to me the best s class ever and the best Mercedes design. believe me the w222 would age gracefully. The perfect modern classic.
for me 221)
thank you for whatching and comment
i do not like the 221 outside fenders int,ok dont like the look of the car, 222 much nicer outside as well as inside give it a very class look to it, only up to 2016 after that they changed the steering wheel and gave it a sporty look and i do not like that one bit wrecked that,i have 2011 E550 w212 love everything about it ,has class and a sporty look to it,the 221 if it was not for the bulge fenders i would of thought about it because the int ,is very nice but the fender lines and the front look, nope not for me i take the 222 any day,you dont buy mercedes to pound the hell out of them unless you have a C63 or E63 then you can be a speed demon tooking for a place to crash
Sir, are you blind? People buy W221 because it’s cheaper
not in my expirence . good w221 is same price as w222
You get one with good miles for 25-30 a 221 with low miles is only 2 or 3 grand cheaper not that much different.
Maybe...
Like you, i own w 221 and w222.
@@snggarageeng In my country, it's 10 thousand more expensive than W221 (2010-2013 years mostly). It also has more electronical systems and is more popular than w221 in realibility, however, w221 is popular among young adults for that price.
both are great currently on the used car market
I own W221 2013 and I am still glad it has got only 63k km because W222 is "no thank you" for me.

I just bought a w222 last week. Idk man. It's pretty fuckin great.
congrats w222 is great car but for it has no soul

POV: Me wanting W220
Good interior
Its all been downhill since the W140
Agree
Two weeks ago I bought a 2016 W222 with 54,000 miles. I love it. The W221 is horrible looking. I never even considered it.
I just got a w221 and I think the w222 is more reliable since its newer. Now since I have a w221 and see the issues associated, gonna keep it for the summer and sell it. Good thing I own it. I would never finance a w221 ever..
The perfect car would be the w221 body with w222 interior
mmmmm interesting
I think the best would be w221 exterior and W221 interior
@=[][]= The almighty G60 528xi Jinping interior is out dated now on w221
@@rockflock4698 Build quality never gets old
THE BEST OR NOTHING ❤
agree
Mercedes has always been luxurious business and executive cars the fact that the w221 lost the feeling of wanting to be driven in instead of driving it just solidifies it’s passing era in my opinion
In other words your not supposed to drive a Mercedes anyway so saying this one wants you to is honesty an insult. You say you love driving buy bmw that’s a car for a driver
what do you think about w140 ???
thank you for whatching and comment
I agree with the w222 Maybach ruining the Maybach name. There is a reason w222 Maybach is much cheaper than Maybach 57 & 62. When you purchase Maybach w222 you pay extra 100,000 for Maybach logo and pillow. Maybach 57 & 62 is MADE to be chauffeured and w221 S class is MADE to be driven. I get that it doesn’t make sense for everyone to be driving 450,000 maybach and that is why w221 is still luxury flagship. When you saw a Maybach 57/ 62 in the 2000s it was so distinct and showed that you were in the pinnacle of luxury but when you see someone in a w222 Maybach it just looks like they could be driving a base s class if they don’t have two tone.
THIS IS THE REVIEW WHERE THE GUY EXPOSES THE LACK OF QUALITY OF THE W222 INTERIOR !
th-cam.com/video/MrU9fD7-m7Q/w-d-xo.html
Saw that one and changed my mind a while back. Love the tech inside tho - mainly the ambient color changers
@@girl600show7 REVIEWERS LIKE MATT WATSON OF CARWOW ALWAYS SAY BMWs & AUDIs ARE MUCH BETTER BUILT THAN MERCEDES !
BUT MOST PEOPLE THINK MERCEDES IS THE BEST BUILT CAR, BUT THEY'RE NOT....
MERCEDES STOPPED BEING THE BEST AROUND 2000....
UNFORTUNATELY, THE TECH IN THESE CARS IS WHAT MAKES THEM SO UNRELIABLE !
MERCEDES USED TO BE THE MOST RELIABLE CAR...
NOW THEY ARE NEAR THE BOTTOM !
I own old w220 ...... it is not perfect but for me is good enough and beat any next generation on a materials used in the cabin real leather everywhere....... However I am a fan of soft lines and when I saw for first time w221 back in a day, my immediate reaction was "what is that "... I didn t like the interior design either..... W222 however is another story back to soft lines inside and out and back to straight 6 cylinder engines like in w220..... For me W222 is better than any S class generation up to this day even w223..... However my favorite S class design still belongs to w220.......
COMMENTERS ARE SAYING HOW GREAT THE 222 IS ON THE INSIDE BUT,
ANOTHER GUY DID A 222 BUYER'S GUIDE & HE WAS TOUCHING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE INTERIOR, AND
HE SHOWED THAT PARTS OF THE 222 DASHBOARD WERE COMING APART !
HE SHOWED OTHER CHEAP PARTS OF THE 222 INTERIOR THAT WERE NOT HOLDING UP WELL AT ALL !
I disagree with most I like the interior on my 221 better it is simpler and feels like it is a better quality and put together better. It is a simple layout. The newer one has more gimmicks but I do not equate gimmicks with luxury. To me, the W221 feels like a more solid car inside and out.
@@erics9754 I HATE ALL THE GIMMICKS ON THESE NEW CARS LIKE THE 222 MERECEDES...
IDIOT PEOPLE ARE DAZZLED BY THAT CRAP !
THE 221 FELT CHEAP ON THE INSIDE TO ME... JUST THE WAY IT LOOKED.... THERE'S NO WOOD !
Even nowadays w140 is the best one
made new video about w140 th-cam.com/video/E_O-1RyqFgM/w-d-xo.html
222 way better than 221 and I have owned both for many years!11
you are right
Only main thing I dont really like on the w222 design is the slightly strange head lights. But strange lights seems to be more rule than exception nowadays. Then I suspect the interior quality feel is not what it used to be in the old days either. But its below par in the w221 too. Feels very cheap compared to the w116 - w140 era.
The W221 is probably selling more on the secondary market for the obvious reason that it's two generations old and is cheaper. I would still choose a W222 over a W221 as it has the features I want and I find it more aesthetically pleasing. I don't like those wheel bulges on the W221, it looks tacky and doesn't suit the sophisticated and elegant motif in my opinion.
i joined many MB clubs and everybody likes w221 ))))
well said actually w222 has the very DNA from W221. Combined from 2006, w222 had a 14 year run. it is the great S class after w126.
The wide fenders are what I love about 221! To each their own. The 222 looks like a big C/E class! Very disappointing. Still a beautiful car but it doesn’t stand out as an S class.
The W222 is gorgeous for sure. If I ever were to buy an S Class, the W222 LCI would be it.
I don't think I've ever disagreed with a video more...........
please tell me why
thank you for whatching and comment
You better read this: The W222 engine is worst engine ever built by Mercedes Benz MY2013 - MY 2016 the exhaust valve assembly might not work properly etc. The Water thermostat open at 217 Fahrenheit, Water Boil at 212 Fahrenheit you must remove the coolant to clean the back flow.
The temperature reading in the car display never goes aver 200 Fahrenheit I check the engine temperature was 217 to 225 Fahrenheit without any fan coming on (Back flow) the manual warning on page 295 if the coolant temperature is above 257 Fahrenheit do not drive. The rigged the software like they did in the Diesel engine.
The problem is “Fuel system monitor not completed” 15 states do not pass to drive the car and you cannot do anything about.
this problem is only in Diesel engiens?
W222 is simply beautiful. What u talking bout?
sorry , not for me
Tu-tu-tu…😂🎉🎉🎉

ONE THING I DISAGREE ABOUT IS THE 221 INTERIOR....
I SAT INSIDE A 2007 WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT & I HATED IT !

THE 220 FELT RICHER.... THE 221 HAD ALMOST NO WOOD... AND THE STEERING WHEEL SUCKED !
I SAT IN A 222 AS A PASSENGER & I WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THAT CAR AT ALL !
THE 126 I SAT IN YEARS AGO WAS MUCH BETTER THAN THE 221 AND THE 222 !
THE 2009 BMW 7 SERIES WAS MUCH MORE RICH FEELING THAN THE 221 AND THE 222 !
Cap I uses to have a w220 s430, 2002 . Now I have a s550 08 is wayyyy better than w220 inside is all cheap plastic mercedes was trying to save money when they make the w220 . W221 inside is wayyyyyy better .
thw W220 was the worst s class rated, i have experienced both 220 and 221, clearly the 221 feels more expensive, i also have a 7 series, its more sporty than s class, but those cars are meant for comfort, so s class wins
