2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic | Driven: Car Review | The New York Times
/ thenewyorktimes
This car still looks brand new in 2023.
Fr bro its so cheap it will make you look rich
@@Trumpwonbiigily unfortunately, it's cheap for a bad reason.
@@niko2002 whats the reason?
@@Trumpwonbiigily depreciation
@@Trumpwonbiigily depreciation in the car world is correlated with reliability. The less the car depreciates, the more reliable it is. The more it depreciates, the less reliable the car is.
Edit: Let be real, a car that is harder to work on with more expensive scan tools, and the car breaks more often is a recipe for a faster and more dramatic depreciation.
$129k in 2015
Now $25k 😂
Most advanced 4-door sedan money can buy...period.
nope
kat court i assume you made this comment before the tesla model s
Maybach?
The Wrong Hole fun fact Tesla basically stole all self driving tech from Mercedes
This is a real bargain considering it holds its own against bentley and rolls royce.
Its been 8 years but its still worth it!
considering this car that gets compared to ultimate high brand cars such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley & other top of the line in luxury, this is rather the smartest buy when looking for brand & premium luxury all together.
Just purchased this today for delivery can't wait to drive this I'm a few days thank you mercades my second benz my first ever s class
I don't think its appropriate for me to drive this car to my job with a 100k a year job, they would be wondering what else I'm doing under cover.
Now it’s only $23k
This car now 35-40k dolar!
2015 s63 would be better tbh
Now it's 25 to 30k a bargain!
The host speaks very well. Great review. To be honest I don't think boot space is an issue here for the lifestyle of the people who will be driven around in this. For example a business exec with a briefcase. Or if they're getting going to the airport they'll probably have a light suitcase for their business trip to Tokyo. It's not really a family car if you know what I mean right?
Welp now its cheaper i coulda got it but i got the cls cause its sexier anyway i need bootspace review to know if i can fit my knives bat guns and i dont have a suit only adidas tracksuits lol
It sure is not a personal car either, for those you choose the GORGEOUS, ELEGANT COUPE version of the S class. The trunk is plenty big for a couple whose kids have left the house, but maybe not for a big growing family who cannot afford it anyway. That is why ALWAYS the trunks of true family luxury cars, like the E class or the 5 series or the A6, are actually EVEN BIGGER than the big trunks of the S class, the 7 series and the A8
Cool car ,but I would be too scared to own it without factory warranty.
I'll buy one just like this someday
The ride quality is considerably better on a rear wheel drive with Magic Body Control than with the 4Matic version. I'll take Magic Body Control and forgo all wheel drive any day in any warm weather climate. My only two complaints about the W222 S-class are 1) the small trunk size 2) lack of a spare tire and choice of MB to use run-flats. Even with run-flats, there needs to be the option to carry a compact spare. No other complaints at all!
Saw this at the dealership today clean man clean my future car
it's been 6 years
did you buy one ?
Nice coverage. Love this car. Loaded with useful features. Thanks for posting.
This car is a show piece of future driving technologies. From active collision avoidence to ride quality and passanger safety. And it certainly isn't a slouch in the performance and looks departments.
You're right 8 yrs later other brands are just catching up lol
Listen to the turbo whistle at 1:51
Its not a benchmark it is easily the best
Hey Tom. what would you take the s-class or the 7 series?
S Class - That said , I love the 7 series more in the past than now . Tremendous road car .
BMW sucks balls
@@citylife9 id buy a 7 series from 1980s or early 90s with MANUAL transmission
Impressive to this day!
You should make a video on a 2015 bentley flying spur.
Alex Hanna
In terms of drive quality there is little difference between the two. But in terms of finish the Bentley is more superior.
More superior? Wow, that's a lot of superior.
I would like to know more about heated arm rests
Hey Tom, great review! What color is the car please?
At 2:22 Animals or pedestrians to look up from their phones. *I didn't know deer had cell phones.* 😃
I loved the place in the background.. so lush green.. which place is this?
I'm getting one
Excellent review. So it looks nice; great features too. Breaks down more than my Lexus LS though ;)
wheres the fog lights?
One day!
+GhettoMist i have one its absolutely amazing!
***** Do you drive it or do you have a chauffeur
both
i think i like the back seat better than the drivers tbh.
***** Yea its meant for that.
I wonder if it will reliable
+Polaricecappucino Depends on how well taken car of they are. The S Class has great reliability to be realistic.
The current S Class might be a little more work due to the amount of tech it has.
+Blake Bias Hell no it wont, Mercedes has horrible reliability. Especially the new ones, on top of that they are 4-5 times more expensive to repair than most cars.
+Blake Bias - About as reliable as your grammar.
Who’s here after the W223 reveal? 🤦🏻♂️
the thing i don't understand ( and i am trying to ) is the command touch pad. one min it's a touch pad controller and the next it's a phone. in this video at 2:56 he pulls the cover back and it's a phone. what happen to it being a touch pad that u can write ( like the Audi's ) things just by moving you're hand on it?
tee duke The 2014 models have the phone type controller. The 2015 models have a few updates, and the touchpad is one of them.
Alex Cabral oh ok, but the 2015 also have the option to have either one. i found out this lol.
Alex Cabral correct
Interior perfume system.... LOL.....!
just in case somebody farted
Brilliant!
I am treading in my 1998 honda accord for this car.
How much price
Rear seat leg room not an issue for the 5’7 moderator😂
This generation of S-Class the W222 is the closest revival of the W140.
As an owner of two PERFECTLY reliable and perfect overall E class diesels, a 2007 and a 2008, since 2016 and 2017, I can assure you Mercs are truly GREAT CARS. ANd I have owned "mAgnificent 7" series, a beautiful 740iL, and bought all three for less than $11k. WORSHIP the goddess of depreciation! It allows poor schmucks like the Reviewer to also enjoy a Merc to the fullest, and not have to curse his luck in a damned Mazda.
People in the comments keep talking about depreciation 😂 it’s a 9 year old car.. what did you expect? To make a profit? When you get tired of it just trade it for something else. Find a decent 1 owner car that been taken care of and the whole maintenance thing is a myth. Go on FCP euro, and do the work yourself. Just like any other car. I own a 2015 s550 4matic and it costs just as much as my used 2018 Toyota Camry xse.
Fabulous😛
best car
After 6-7 years expect to be going broke with all those high repair bills. I'll take an Accord.
people who can afford don't keep one that long
I hear the warranty is pretty long on these
german cars r tops my 2000 740il costs me nothing iv hadit 13yrs and druive it 2 death
my s550 has had zero repairs since 2014.....
Im on my second s class my 2003 had 283k/bought cpo with 17k on it when my husband was tboned by a lady who ran a red light in a van going 50 mph. He should have been hurt but wasnt. My 2008 s550 has 140k on it - they dont go to the shop no more than any other brand car. Once you drive a s class nothing else will do. I almost bought a 2015 s550 with 10k on it yesterday.
This is a car Brady would drive a.k.a. Mr Mercedes
gotta get me one...
my fav car... but I am a right steer driver. hahaha
35K$ you find at market
The Mercedes benz for VIP people not for normal workers. That's all
super
good
$30k used in 2024, but will cost you $30k on repairs.
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!! What a Whip!!
Goals
1:32 lol
gaurd3 what is funny about the start up?
الله يرزقني بوحده مثلها وانا بصحه وعافيه يارب
No, you cannot blow up this car.
+Josh B the best comment on youtube 😂😂
+Cute SM 😒
والله انك تبشر عطني رقمك
it tells that you cannot afford a Maybach . 🤣😂
109 000 euro
It's beautiful...but unfortunately not reliable these days
wealthy people don't think about reliability of a car when they own one sir. they drive them for a couple of yrs and move on to the next one
LMAO deceptively light.
Mercedebemz
short
Mrr
MBs have so ceap design nowdays
Mert
This is rip off
Can get it now for like 30 lol
considering this car that gets compared to ultimate high brand cars such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley & other top of the line in luxury, this is rather the smartest buy when looking for brand & premium luxury all together.
Meh. I'd rather buy an Alfa Romeo 4C. Much better car.
+AE86 of Mt. Akina the 4c & s550 are two completely different cars. If you're interested in a sporty coupe style car then yes the 4c is better. But in terms of a luxurious, comfortable, shofar style car; the s550 wins.
Yes because the S-class is what springs to mind when you're in the market for an entry level, mid engined sports cars....
