Set for its debut at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show - which runs from 21st to 28th April - the new Mercedes Benz S Class dons reshaped LED lights and a prominent front grille, while the range-topping Maybach model promises to be the most luxurious and technologically advanced Mercedes Benz to date.
Inching closer to autonomous driving, technological features come in the form of Distronic Active Proximity Control and Active Steer Assist, which not only maintain a safe distance from the car in front, but also adapt speeds based on data collected from the navigation system.
