The 2008 Mercedes-Benz S600 Sedan gives competing luxury sedans a run for their money as many impressive features come standard in this model so its hard for buyers to look away. For example, the Active Body Control , a suspension system, adjusts each wheel’s suspension to counteract vibration, pitch, dive, squat and roll. The system also provides automatic 4-wheel level control.

This model’s V12 engine gets 510-horse power, and uses rear wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic transmission with electronically controlled shifting, which allows for a smoother ride. Using different transmission modes, the driver can use shifting to help improve control on slippery surfaces, adding security to this sedan.

Adding to the striking appearance of the ‘08 S600 Sedan are exterior features including a Panorama roof with tinted glass and tilt/slide function, bi-xenon low- and high-beam headlamps and halogen foglamps.

This Mercedes-Benz rides in safety as well as style, with several standard features. Included in the model is a Universal LATCH system, which shows the S600 Sedan was designed with the family in mind, as this feature helps secure safety seats. There’s also dual-stage airbags for front occupants and an Occupant Classification System that avoids unnecessary deployment if a passenger is not present in the event of an accident.

Taking a look inside the S600 Sedan, hand-polished Burl Walnut trim impresses the passengers, as well as a wood/leather steering wheel for the driver. There’s also a Smart Key System that unlocks the door as the driver approaches, showing how innovative this car is. Also, a hard-drive-based in-dash navigation system uses GPS satellites to determine the current location of the vehicle.

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz S600 Sedan is tech-savvy, safe and reliable, putting together a package that will likely be a top seller this year.
