About the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W222
The 2018 facelift of the W222 S-Class introduced the OM656 straight-six diesel engine, replacing the previous V6 for improved smoothness and efficiency. As the AMG Line, it features more aggressive bumpers and larger wheels, bridging the gap between standard luxury and the full AMG models. The W222 is widely regarded as a high point for S-Class interior quality, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays and exceptional sound insulation. On the road, the standard AIRMATIC air suspension provides a 'magic carpet' ride, while the 600Nm of torque ensures effortless overtaking despite its significant mass.
