We thought that we wouldn’t be able to catch a good look at the 2010 S-Class until the Geneva Motor Show in March next year – but we might get lucky and see it before then. There are rumors that it might be revealed in October during the Paris Motor Show.
The fundamentals of the S-Class clearly aren’t changing, but low investment parts like the grille, lower front fascia, mirrors and tail-lights get updates. The interior doesn’t appear to have changed much either, but based on the driver’s attempt to block the view, the S-Class may be getting a new COMAND system interface.
It’s not known if Mercedes will offer a new BlueTec diesel engine in the S-Class here in the States, although that is a foregone conclusion for Europe. One new model we’ll definitely see here is the S400 hybrid, which pairs the 3.5L V6 with a new mild hybrid system developed by Mercedes and BMW. The mild hybrid should also be the first mass produced automotive application of lithium-ion batteries.
