2014 Mercedes S Class (W222) Brochure Images leaked

We reported in detail when pics and details of the the upcoming 2014 Mercedes S Class surfaced on the web world. Now, what we have here are the images of the brochure of the upcoming new generation S Class.

The next gen flagship sedan from the popular luxury car maker will make its public debut on May 15th. The new luxury sedan, which has been codenamed as the W222, is expected to up the ante in the luxury car market with its class leading technology, luxury and safety.

Thanks to the leaked brochure images, we have a hint of the features list that the new S Class would come with. As can be made out from these images, the new car will be equipped with features and equipment such as a DVD Player with a dash mounted infotainment screen, Magic Body Control system that allows you to customize various parameters of the car’s suspension, cameras offering 360 degree view, Distronic Plus safety feature, a hi tech Burmester surround system, an “Air Balance” packet, seats that can easily challenge those on a First Class airline, memory function for rear seats, seat massagers and Pre-Safe safety feature.

The car will be available with 11 exterior colour options and 3 interior panel colour options that offer a choice of 5 colours for the trim.

The interiors of the upcoming S Class seem to be richer and have more space than the insides of the current car. Rear seat occupants, which would more often than not be the owners of the upcoming S, will enjoy huge equipment levels like memory feature, electrically retractable thigh support, individual screens, et al.

Powering the upcoming S Class will be re-tuned motors that will be higher on performance and fuel economy and lower on tail pipe emissions. The engines are expected to come mated to a new 9 speed automatic gearbox that benefits from terrain sensing technology.
