"The Mercedes S-Class coupe doesn’t sacrifice comfort and luxury for speed and handling - it ticks all those boxes with ease."
Viewed in isolation, the Mercedes S-Class coupe seems like an expensive two-door sports car, with a choice of three powerful engines, a luxurious interior and high running costs. However, when you compare it to rivals like the Bentley Continental GT and Aston Martin DB9, the big Merc starts to look like a bit of a bargain.
For the performance on offer, the S-Class coupe's running costs aren't actually that bad. Yes, compared to a Ford Focus hatchback, a lowly 30mpg doesn't look great, but when you take into account the powerful engines and sporty handling, it's actually pretty impressive. Besides, if you can afford the car's list price, the high fuel consumption is unlikely to worry you.

how can people say this is ugly??? Its stunning!
Especially in person, video or pictures don't do it justice.
newlifegroupinc I saw a black one the other day! even better than white in my opinion
Firemarioflower dont buy it then
+needraintodrift SL and Cl Looks so better better than this, from the same brand!
Emmanuel Wang no I am sorry CL looks like a boat ,it is too big for a two door car... I never liked any SL since the R129 which looks sooo classy, but that is just my opinion
This is why Mercedes should be in a class of its own, I doubt Audi and BMW will ever match the quality and high tech gadgetry that Mercedes offer
There are cars that you think they are ugly af before you see them in person and after seeing them you just blown away. That is one of them.
Yeah, this car demands to be seen in person. It's absolutely amazing.
+Can Tavukçuoğlu Eh I loved it on the very first picture I saw.
Seen it in real life. Still cringe when I look at it. There are just so many things wrong with Mercedes' new design scheme.
Nachtwanderer that's your opinion. I've had a test drive in it and it blew me away.
+Can Tavukçuoğlu Kesinlikle ;) :p
I'd reallly love to see Mat doing a comparison between this, Continenal GT and Wraith.
I've driven the standard S-class and it was sublime! Powerful, luxurious, comfortable, elegant...
I drove an S600 and it was the most relaxing drive I've ever had. It's just so quiet inside. You drive at 200 and you hear nothing!
Inside you bathe in smooth ambiant lighting, you sink into the ridiculously comfortable seats and all of your troubles seem to disappear! I also adore all the options you get. You can set up everything! Seats, gearbox, engine, boot light? You can spend an hour messing with the settings before you set off.
But if I had the money for an S-coupe, I'd get the S65 AMG one... I imagine driving one would be like smearing honey into Keira Knightley. It will be the closest thing to euphoria you can get without any... bad addictions.
I'd love to do a grand tour of Europe in an S65 coupe.
Either this car is huge or she is tiny
+XtrAMassivE i was thinking the same thing at @8:17 ,and even at @1:27 her eyes barely go over the steering wheel
+XtrAMassivE It's a German car designed mainly for large Germans (as in tall and chubby).
She said CLEARLY that she is 5 ( five ) feet 4 ( four ) inches ...
Good thing she is not wearing a bikini because then you would only remember : " Now here's a question ... "
+tendreaudacieux Does anyone know Ginny's age? It's not listed on her wiki page.
Was up close and personal with it just the other day. It is massive!
she's tiny af next to that s class
+Juan Patino So is everything! It's a massive car.
+Carbuyer I doubt Clarkson would be small compared t this car.
Pattite but super sexy woman... Mmhmmm ;)
+Zak K wonder what she thinks when she reads these 😂😂
u should see how small mat looks like in the infinity q50 review.
One of the most extravagant vehicles I have seen in a long time.
finally!!!! i have been waiting for this a long time thank u carbuyer great review btw
How the fuck do you see the road when sitting that low?
You don't. I don't get it either.
+Ričardas Marozas, she's not that low; it's just the seat goes up quite high.
+Ričardas Marozas You don't....i've sat in s63 amg coupe in geneva motor show and could not see anything...but i couldn't be bothered because just looking around in interior was so good :) (I am quite small though and seat was probably set low for taller visitors too)
+senicadoo same but also there is something called seat control to adjust it to ur seat to ur wished position
yeah, i know...
thing gunna be 25k in 4 years
+iliovecaRS LOL yep, thats the shittiest part about all these luxury coupes, worth sweet fuckall even a couple years down.
+iliovecaRS sadly yes the w210 e class was 600k krones when it launched in my area atm it is 1k € .Thats why I dont like buying new cars, better of with a proper used one.
+RAFA RAFA rich people are the one's buying them 2nd hand!
+Road370 Mercedes releases new car every year. And none of them are really special, especially this one. That means, there is nothing, that will hold the price at the level.
that's why I always buy 3 year old cars. you've got to be a dumb fuck to waste money like that on a brand sparkling new car rich or not. even if I was rich I'd still buy 3 year old cars, less money wasted and a contributing factor to me actually staying rich.
Great review! you can see how much she likes that car with her smile through the whole thing! what a car!
I was gonna buy a fiat Panda, but I hate that awkward twisting and turning when I put my seat belt on, so I think I'm gonna get this one instead. Thanks Carbuyer for the review, really helped me decide.
i was waiting for your review on this on for a loooong time..and I'm glad it's here now.
i know I'm not buying one but its great looking car👼👌
this is my favorite car at this moment(except sport cars)
Stunning car. Mercedes really raised the bar with the new S, yet I can't help but think I would buy the now admittedly oldschool, yet timeless, DB9.
500+ hp getting 15/23 is really impressive.
my 15 year old c class had the same style centre console that could open from either side. that aint nothing new.
+Samwise Drogod if it aint broke dont fix it
Funaki .Chidori true that
+Samwise Drogod Tbf she didn't say it was a new feature though. She just said she loved itt. Besides, it's not just about the lid but about storage space as well. Rather have the whole picture.
+Samwise Drogod Its almost as if they're from the same company.
+Samwise Drogod you dont see it everywhere, not has to be new, but worth the mention
No car reviewer is ever talking about the seats!
In my opinion Mercedes has got the most comfortable and best looking seats in the whole industry. I even prefer their seats over those from RR or Bentley..
You can't tell how good seats are until you take a 3 hr road trip.
Wow finally the s class coupe! Nice review!
that dash looks extremely stylish. I really like it. Shame of the crystals but this really looks like an amazing car!
Stunning car.
If I could afford it this is the car i would get.
My CLK passes me the seat belt too :P
great review, very detailed.
I’m retired now and have owned a lot of great cars. However, my 2008 Mercedes CL550 Coupe’ AMG is flat out the best car I’ve ever driven. A quick story. The first time I drove the into a corner, I almost jumped out of the car! The side bolsters inflate to hold you in place and I thought there was someone in the back seat!
A beautiful lady gives a professional, interesting and accurate review. I am currently shopping for a coupe and this review answered a couple questions I had. GREAT JOB!!
Mat should've reviewed this.
She’s done a good job. Excellent review
You are wrong. First car with diamonds in headlights was W Lycan hypersport. That was three years ago.
I'm so going to buy this.. well in 10 or so years.. maybe!
if I could have any car, it would be the S63 Coupe. Amazing.
very good review
Nice motor, Ginny. Thank you.
Most stunning car I've ever saw, on another subject, can yous make an electric car playlist
Lol
There are some angles where it is almost impossible to know on spot whether it is an S coupe or the new c coupe . The c coupe with the right paint and trim joined the s coupe and AMG GT league . Best styled medium coupe in the market now . S remains stunning but so expensive to to be taken seriously . For me at least .
If you can afford this car then you should purchase the top model with all the features it offers. Get that V12 engine, massage chairs, Bang and Olufsen audio system, etc.
That sound tho 🔥🔥 2:58
Magic Body Control adjust the hydraulic suspension, which was named as ABC with the previous generation. However, this features is not available on 4MATIC version like the previous generation. AIR MATIC may not be able to react quick enough to change the suspension settings, therefore hydraulic suspension is preferred. You can check this from Mercedes-Benz's website or product catalogue :)
Great video, we might pick one up 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Wow. She is a brilliant reviewer. I can't believe I've never seen her videos before. She speaks clearly and without any of the typical awkwardness on these videos.
Hello Mrs.Buckley ; Thank You very much for your video presentation and I really liked this Mercedes Benz S Class series. And They are directly Sport Category than E Series of Mercedes Benz.
you know what is the real 'extremely pretty car' looks ?
M6 Gran Coupe.
+Sid Acidic Yeah, but this is not a bad looker either.
+Sid Acidic Nope, looks ugly to me.
+Sid Acidic Mah RS 7 is way nicer
Narrowc ross Agreed.
I think a7 is the ugliest of all with the ugliest duck beak rear
One of,if not,the best cars ever made!
she REALLY likes that S coupe
+Kay Zhang She really, really does...!
+Carbuyer omg... Is it official CarBuyer?! I'm REALLY exciting!! Thanks for the reply, CarBuyer is REALLY awesome car channel.
+Kay Zhang Yes bro, it was official car buyer, you can see that in the blue highlight !
She likes bbc
3:00 The W124 Coupe has that aswell..It's almost 30 years old.
I'm always a bit suspicious of Mercedes electronics, of which this car is LOADED with... but damn, that is a beautiful car both inside and out...
Omg I think I just fell in love whit this car :))) it's so good it's funny :P
if you're reviewing a car, make sure you are telling customers the facts! S500 does not come with Magic Body Control as standard and the distronic cruise control either!!! Only the AMG models come with them! Also the AMG curve function is only available on the S63 & S65 models!
Great Car, why didn’t they put the horizontal lights in the lower front vents like my current CLS has!
This thing is what makes most people feel bad about their jobs. It tease us so bad to think like " why is he better than me?"
does this car have 4 or 5 seats? if it has 4 is there an option to get 5?
Hang on a second. Is this Ginny Buckley from Men and Motors? Really?
Btw, I really enjoyed the review. I usually don't enjoy reviews done by ladies (except Rebecca Jackson and Vicky Butler-Henderson) but this was very nicely done!
that's all good and everything but you hardly mentioned the engine/drivetrain, acceleration, top speed, fuel ec and most importantly the reliability
really perfect car, very nice especially interior is amazing :-) only problem for me is price... lol :-)
If you are -like me a bit overfocused on Noise levels - Is it the Microphone used in these sessions or do current Range Rover and VW Touareg have better overall road noise comfort over rough road surfaces ? Mercedes S , S coupe have extremely low DBa readings ... yet It seems some SUVs do an overall better job wrt to Tire noise... .while having higher average DBA readings.
What is your experience Carbuyer? Best regards
Hi CArbuyer
is the tyre noise indeed higher on this s coupe than on the current range rover / Vw touareg?
You are one of the best women reviewers of Carbuyer. I like your clothing style; it’s stylish yet very modest. I loved your iPad test rather than a banana test.
It looks so much like the Renault Laguna Coupé (2010-2012 someting like that)
Yep, MB always drops the ball when designing the rear of the car. I like the overall efford though.
Actually the Lykon Hypersport was the first production car to have diamonds in its headlights
could you please tell me where you got that jacket from ,, very nice,,, whats the name brand
thanks
It's a red puffy jacket, a dime a dozen.
Looks like a big Vauxhall that's gone mental in Claire's accessories
Notice how she didn't mention it's 100 grand
in Turkey it's price is over 400k euros
In Guatemala the s 500 coupe is 185K US dollars.
what ?!?!?!?!? lmfao id rather buy a bentley GT for that money
I Love Argueing On RUclips Well, here you couldnt for that money, because the bentley be more expensive also
Pedro Arenales B. buy it from germany its like 1.000 euro to shit it to turkey in 2 days
Beautiful looking like every S Class.
please do a review on new GLC
Are you going to do a review on s500 sedan
It would be nice if there was a big torque diesel version of this car, like a 4.0L twin turbo or something.
I congratulate Mercedes on all of the innovations but I really dislike the way this car is designed interior and exterior... The only thing I like are the front seats to be honest
Someone who´s that short shouldn´t be saying "there´s decent legroom and headroom". Ginny, dear, you should take that into account the next time...
This is one of those cars where you can say "Glad the new model looks ugly because I can only afford a used 2014 one"
I like the rear, looks pretty awesome. The front though looks terrible.
How long is this coupe?
Thank you very much..
can't wait to pick one of these up for $30k in a just a few years :D
Currently at 60k, you're gonna wait 5 more years.
@@GunniTheGunman it's cool. I'm over these now. More of a Truck/mustang and JDM guy now.
2:58 my mom 2013 e coupe does that too. old feature now.
Look allot better then the old CL :)
i just love this car
Who's doing the ironing while she's doing this ? On your way love this is men's work especially when you can't see over the steering wheel.
'you'll play around and have some fun in it, then you'd stick it in....comfort mode'
I love E coupe better because air vents and wood trims there look more classy than those on a S coupe.
great review. & gorgeous to.
I like the salon it has a lot more tech on board
I feel sorry to say this, but I was expecting Mat to review this car.
I know most people will just call me an envious hater, but I seriously don't think this car is good looking. It's a common phenomenon that a 3-pointed badge and a price tag of 100.000 pounds makes people believe this car cannot be considered ugly.
There is nothing wrong with attempting to make a car look sporty, but Daimler is trying too hard. Seriously. The front is way to hungover and curvy, especially the swung back headlights just look dreadful, the Laguna-Coupe-rear looks like it's been pressed against a wall, the whole car is too narrow at the front and too fat at the back and the windows are as narrow as on a Leopard II. And don't get me started on the "Look at me" chrome grill.
The C140 was perfect in my opinion. C215 was too insignificant. C216 was cool again, but with this model, everything went down the shitter.
Inb4 "HURR DURR U JUST CANT AFFORD IT SO U ENVY LOL"
+Nachtwanderer Hi envious hater, bye
+Nachtwanderer You like a car, that this car is obviously been inspired from, this is the modern age, the same car. I talk about c216.
+Nachtwanderer
The car is nice on the outside but it is stunning on the inside. That has been the formula that Mercedes follows.
if only the car looks more similar to the concept version, this car would beat any handsome luxury GT in the market (including the Aston DB9). The production version is a bit bulky compared to the slender and lighter concept version.
Mercedes is the only brand in the world that looks better after it ages. the more I look at it the better I like it. the longer it exists the more I want it. compare an old benz to an old bmw or audi and you will begin to notice this weird ability of benz engineers
is it called coupe? or cou pe?
Absolutely beautiful car!! The S63 AMG would look even better!! Actually the C63S Coupe looks amazing as well!
As for those saying the M6 looks better... yes it does... but not on the inside!
***** I own a M235i, comparing it with it's class rivals eg. Audi and Mercedes. The BMW is the best. But I don't agree with the other classes, the C63 AMG interior in my opinion is just so much better than the M3/M4, maybe it's because the differentiation between the 1/2 series all the way up to the 5/6 series is too similar. Hence why I think the C and S class is just a lot more classier.
That's an awesome car!
Merc, cheap after some years which means big loss in value
Aston will in the end keep its value better therefore, even if its more expensive it is probably better to have in for some years.
I'm in love with her and the car may not get a slk now ??
Got to love this car
Where is mat ???
my dear, you are the best car reviewer I've ever seen. Great job.
OOOOOOOOO... COME ON!!! THE BEST CAR DESERVES DECENT DRESS CODE!!!
This is not a pick up truck review for chrissake!!! It should be more then blue jeans and jacket!!!
wanna buy this car one day
S63 version of this please
This is the s class for people who can't afford a chauffeur
If you want the full luxury, buy the S Class, preferably the long wheel base. If you really like the looks, but don't want to compromise on practicality buy the CLS shooting brake, which looks very, very similar and to my mind a bit more elegant. If you can't make your mind up, buy both. I did and I'm so pleased with myself I'm bragging about it on the internet. Go me!
Damn this car looks neat
Incredible Car
That thing is massive....
As a proud owner of both a bentley and this s class I prefer my s class over my Bentley because surprisingly it's a better ride and it's a tad bit faster. I may trade it in tho, for a convertible version(SCLASS)
