I think the design elements of the front fascia look good on the S, the big "air intakes" at the sides with the double slats, the chrome trim going all around the bottom compliments the design as well imo. Personally, I would make the air intakes bigger vertically, there is too much open space between those and the headlights. |

I think the fact that it looks just like a Genesis sedan hurts it a little in the fact that it doesn't stand out at least exterior-wise.

The S-Class has always been more of a car for the driven (preferably Chauffeur driven) rather than the driver. They don't need people staring, so a generic exterior is fine, but the interior should be luxurious and top notch, especially for the passengers, and that's been accomplished for the W223. Mercedes probably knows this demographic more than most others.

I still hate the integration of the screen, but otherwise this car is an absolute home run inside and out. Beautifully done. The current 7-series was already behind the W222 the moment it hit showrooms, now it's no contest.
BMW needs to go back to the drawing board with the 7-series and attempt to design a truly beautiful car inside and out. In my opinion the last 7-series to do it right was the E65 LCI. It looked low, wide, and stately whereas the two generations since look like whales. The current 7-series interior design is lame as well, there's nothing distinctive or special about it. However this Merc interior screen is controversial, so BMW has an opportunity to integrate their tech better.

Merc will also be releasing the EQS Flagship EV soon as well so it will be interesting to see if any S-Class owners may convert, as well as how BMW's i7 (which will not be using a pure BEV platform) will compete.

Now that someone pointed it out, my OCD can't get past the center screen not being centered on the air vents:

History has a way of repeating itself, even if the automotive designers did not intend to do so.
Marginal redesign at best. |

Watched the ad for this yesterday. The amount of tech and kit. Woah. I wonder how the 7 will be able to rise to the tech battle.
