2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Preview
2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Preview
Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe 2015, replacing CL coupe in the lineup the previous brand.
Call it a two-door sedan version of the S-Class is a bit oversimplified, as S-Class coupe Gets a unique styling in addition to riding on a wheelbase that is 8 inches shorter than the sedan.
In contrast to the GT Mercedes-AMG is a single-minded sports car, coupe S550 is an all-around player that is suitable for everyday use or weekend vacation.
It is fast in a straight line and are capable in corners, but his best asset is the ability to stay extremely comfortable and quiet in any kind of driving environment.
There are three versions of the coupe S-Class S550 4Matic: database, high-performance S63 AMG 4Matic and top-of-the-line S65 AMG AMG.
The S550 AMG S63 and both come standard with all-wheel drive (4Matic) while the S65 AMG is rear-wheel drive only. The price for the S550 coupe starts at $ 120.825, while the S63 starts at $ 161.825.
S65 AMG has a base price of $ 231.825.
Power delivered by the S550 's 4.7-liter, twin-turbo V8 that delivers 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Stepping into the S63 AMG ante up to 5.5-liter V8 rated 577 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque.
Both models use a seven-speed automatic but S63 AMG-specific version to use with some shifting mode. S65 AMG is powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine that develops 621 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque.
Using a slightly modified version of AMG-tuned seven-speed automatic found in the S63.
The S550 coupe designed to insulate you from anything that might make noise, jostle the cabin interior environment or annoying ease.
It rides on air spring suspension standard with multiple drive modes that allow you to make a call in various levels of responsiveness.
S550 coupe feels as comfortable around town, it is capable of surprising speed when you open it on the highway.
Test our S550 vehicle may have weighed in on a substantial £ 4737, but still turned in a time of 0-60 mph of 4.7 seconds. It's fast for any car, let alone the size of the S550 coupe.
It is difficult to say that you are going that fast. There are hardly any roads, wind or even engine noise even at full speed, and what does not work to come through the cabin is only visible in the background.
That level of improvement extends to each of your activity by car. From the feel of the steering wheel to brake action, everything is working correctly and with little effort. Once again, its like the ability improvement masks.
As pliable as the brake pedal feels, the S550 managed to stop at only 113 feet from 60 mph during our testing. It is also meandering through our slalom 66,5 mph. both figures are very good for a car of its size.
If you prefer the coupe that gives a little more feedback, S63 AMG would be more to your liking. Everything about S63 summoned up a notch, so that even in the setting of standards of excellence for it that the standard model lacked.
It features backfiring that ROAR at full speed, while suspension added some road feel that the standard model only delivers on the most aggressive setting.
This is easily one of the most luxurious and accommodating coupe on the road today. From the large doors that open wide for easy entry into the seats that offer heating, cooling and some choice of massage, the S550 looks and feels class in all respects.
As aggressive as the styling may look on the outside, there is still enough glass to provide views from the driver's seat. Visibility to the rear is a bit distracted, but back-up cameras help alleviate any problems when backing up in the boardroom.
Like the S-Class sedan, the coupe has a elegant cabin design that does away with the various buttons that support controllers on the consoles and large display screens on the dashboard.
It took some getting used to, but the interface is well designed and filled with features. Simple function such as temperature and fan controls can still be adjusted via the switches that divide the dashboard.
Unlike in some coupe in this class, S550 coupe rear seat in a very comfortable for adults. A center console dividing the space into two bucket seats are contoured and there is enough headroom for the legislature and the average size passengers to sit comfortably.
Even though our test car didn't have it for us to try, the S-Class coupe offers a new feature called Active Tilting Curve that is unique in the industry.
This is designed to reduce centrifugal force exerted on passengers when the car round the corner by leaning into the turn like a motorcycle. So if you turn right the car will lean to the right, but only by a few degrees.
Other features that might not expect Water Balance package includes optional air filtration, which combines the ionization and scent emitter with some scents. Then there's the optional heated seat arm to ensure that no surface that touches on cold days never really feels cold.
Because of the price, you will not see the crash test results for this car. Don't worry, though, as the S-Class coupe combines every last part of Mercedes safety technology offers.
Standard safety equipment includes Collision Prevention Assists Plus, a system that provides different levels of autonomous braking depending on the car's speed and the speed of the car in the vicinity.
There is also a driver aid package which adds extra features such as lane-keeping assist, Distronic Plus (the name of Mercedes ' for adaptive cruise control), cross-traffic warning system and radar identification for animals and people in the street. Add to all that the large size of this coupe and weight, and it's safe to say that you're not likely to find a more secure two doors down the street.
Although very capable in terms of performance, the closest competitor to S-Class coupe is a great touring car which emphasizes comfort and luxury for all out speed.
The BMW 6 Series is similar in size and performance, but it starts at a lower price. Available in coupe and convertible body styles, as well as the six-cylinder model, series 6 fit the style of the S-Class if it is not the overall level of comfort.
Bentley Continental GT starts at more than $ 200 k but the majority of handmade interior reflects his asking price. On the downside, there is not much room in the back seat and not have some sophisticated electronic features that are found in the Mercedes.
For pure style, it is worth considering a Maserati GranTurismo. Wonderful to see inside and outside, it's also powered by a 4.7-liter V8 engines sings Italy like no other car in this category.
Able to like it, S-Class coupe, even in the form of the AMG, S63 is no sports car. If you want something to throw around on the mountain path, there are two other doors that will prove more satisfactory.
