Thank you for preparing this! I'm a W220 owner who will soon be in the market for a W222. Still doing tons of research and you gave me more to consider.
I recently went from a w220 to a w222 and it's night and day. The w220 rides a bit tighter than the w222 This is due to the 222 being about 1800lb heavier
we have a 2015 S350d lang (with all options) as a taxi here in Finland currently has 250k miles and still gets around 6k miles monthly. Such an amazing car to drive but yet reliable and fuel efficient thanks to the diesel engine. Driving 10-15 hours a day this is the car i want.
Got a 2016 X222. Corporate store replace fogged headlight units in 2018 free of charge. But I'm on my 3rd auxiliary battery! Remember to drive it frequently to keep the engine in good shape.
W222 with 72,000 on clock 2014 model long wheel base with all options I’ve had big problems with air suspension 😢 last bill £2,000 !! It’s not if it goes wrong it’s when !!!
@@sg-tp7sc I've changed my mind I think I'm gonna get a 13 or 14 LS460 reliability means alot to me and my 08 ls460 has had no major issues the past year, 95k miles I replaced the radiator and belt that's it and reg fluid maintenance of course all electronics work
You better read this: The W222 engine is worst engine ever built by Mercedes Benz MY2013 - MY 2016 or 2013 to 2020 S class V 8 “The exhaust valve assembly might not work properly etc. this means you need a new Cylinder head or both! The Water thermostat open at 217 Fahrenheit, Water Boil at 212 Fahrenheit you must remove the coolant to clean the coolant back flow. The temperature reading in the car display never goes aver 200 Fahrenheit I check the engine temperature was 217 to 225 Fahrenheit without any fan coming on (Back flow) the manual warning on page 295 if the coolant temperature is above 257 Fahrenheit do not drive. The rigged the software “wrote a CALL” like they did in the Mercedes Benz Diesel Engine. The exhaust valve problem trigger “Fuel system monitor not completed” 17 states in the USA DO NOT PASS inspection to drive the car “Done” and you cannot do anything about.
W222 S Class is the best looking S Class so far. I have a 2015 and this is my 3rd S Class. The Best or Nothing.
How do you feel about reliability? Considering buying a 2015 or 16.
I HAVE ONE PEARL WHITE 3.0 BI TURBO . EVERYDAY IS A HAPPY DAY
I shall be joining you with one soon!
That was 4 generations ago! Best or nothing slogan was stolen by the W140 and wasn't returned

I currently got a w211 and i wanna buy a S-class but i wonder how big maintenance is on these vehicles.
ya the S400L Hybrid used 2014 just lose 50% of its value.

Mercedes-Benz W223 Is A Disappointment The W222 Is Such A Better Designed Automobile From Interior To Exterior
I prefer the new generation’s s class interior WAYYYYY over the to-be previous generations interior, but the exterior on the 222 was way better.
@@asd-dx7nm What interior it`s just 2 big ugly screens slapped on the dash.
W221 Exterior is better than both of them. However I love the Interior of the W222 and
It's still better looking than the G70 7 series. Looks wise, the worst BMW ever made, even worse than the E65.
I heard there's too much plastic on the new S class
The w222 is just so beautiful
W222 has become more valuabe when the new w223 has revealed

Great video,this is a reliable car to have?
will not buy Mercedes which has steering problem and dealer ignoring defect of manufacture,styeering problem how dangerous would be.
I see a 2014 Mercedes Benz S550 in my future to add to my 08 Lexus LS 460 would be a nice combo
I have a Ls430 considering a 2015-2020 s class next

Is it normal for the engine fan of the Mercedes benz s500 2014 model to go on high with some noise when cooling off then later go off
Well made video. Love the W222.... the w223 - not so much lol

How to recognize when buying whether the model is equipped with a smart beam headlight or ordinary LED lights?
It will say intelligent LED and have the dashed line look if they are the upgraded ones
Brilliant!
Beautiful cars. But how’s the long term reliability, especially compared to the 7 series or A8?
A8’s are bulletproof esp with 3.0
They will all eventually break down and have problems. Best to get a pre purchase inspection and budget for repairs. These are not Honda Civics.
My favorit car king
Is the w222 fwd or rwd?
rwd, can be awd if its a 4matic

Never look any Mercedes petrol engine.
I don't understand the appeal for an S class AMG...just like the GLS 63 AMG. They are too big to be performance cars, IMO.
Buyer's Guide: Don't
Brilliant!
