We had the brief thought that Mercedes-Benz accidentally sent us the wrong car, because the Iridium Silver Metallic S550 4MATIC that showed up at our office was better equipped to be reviewed by the nonexistent publication Car and Passenger than by Car and Driver. Fitted with the $1950 Executive Rear Seat Package Plus and its $16,250 of required packages and optional extras, our Benz’s rear compartment resembled the first-class cabin of a Boeing 777. In place of the S-class’s standard rear bench seat, our test car came equipped with two individual rear thrones wrapped in $4450 of Black Exclusive nappa leather. Each chair featured four-way power adjustment, a massage function, and the ability to heat or cool each rider’s rear end. Bony elbows weren’t forgotten, as the padded rear armrests are heated as well.

As in all S-classes, the S550 4MATIC’s dash contains two 12.3-inch TFT displays. The screen directly in front of the driver serves as a digital instrument cluster and is also capable of displaying other pertinent vehicle information, while the second screen at the center of the dash is for the multimedia system. It’s controlled through Mercedes-Benz’s COMAND interface, with a rotary knob on the console that is surrounded by buttons for direct access to key infotainment features. The touchpad mounted atop the rotary knob is useful in theory, but on several occasions we accidentally rubbed a palm against the black bezel and triggered unwanted menu selections. Touchpad aside, COMAND remains easy to use overall.

S Is for “So Quick”
What truly separates the S550’s driver’s seat from its passenger seats, though, is the ability to play maestro to the twin-turbocharged 4.7-liter V-8’s 449-hp orchestra. Backing up that engine is a new nine-speed automatic transmission that replaces last year’s seven-speed unit; it serves up shifts that are as smooth as good scotch. Press the accelerator and the 5025-pound Benz takes off like a bottle rocket. The two-and-a-half-ton, 206.5-inch-long, all-wheel-drive sedan scorched our test track as it launched from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and crossed the century mark after 10.7 seconds. Another 2.2 seconds later, the S-class completed the quarter-mile at 110 mph. These figures put the S550 4MATIC on pace with the last BMW 750i xDrive we tested, but a 450-hp Audi A8L 4.0T Sport dusted both rivals at the track, no doubt aided by its lower 4672-pound curb weight.

Although those who enjoy agile road manners will find themselves more at home behind the wheel of the lighter Audi, there’s an inherent honesty to the S550 4MATIC’s comfort-oriented driving characteristics that makes piloting it an utter joy. For instance, the electrically assisted rack-and-pinion steering is fingertip light at parking-lot speeds but seamlessly adds heft and feedback as velocity increases. Likewise, the air suspension allows the Benz to waft over road irregularities while adeptly keeping body roll reasonably at bay, something that can’t be said of the latest 7-series. Even the optional Sport package doesn’t impinge on the S550 4MATIC’s commitment to passenger comfort, as it’s composed of little more than racier bodywork and a set of 19-inch wheels. Why anyone would check the box for this $5900 package that adds no noticeable performance benefits is beyond us, though.

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 4MATIC is the rare car that may be better for the passenger than for the driver. That’s no knock on the all-wheel-drive S-class’s driving experience or its powerful twin-turbo V-8 engine, but it’s a testament to its strength as a cocoon of luxurious delights and the countless amenities available to all occupants.
