This week on TestDrive Nile hits the road in the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S 580e 4matic LWB, a vehicle priced around the $180k CAD price with a 90 km electric range, 503 horsepower, and. 553 lb-ft of torque. This W223 S-Class comes well optioned with many features that typical S-Class buyers would be looking at. We go over the technical specifications of this generation along with some of the key features that push this generation forward.

We go over the Digital Light system found on this era, and how it would operate for our European friends. The added features to Pre-SAFE pioneered originally on Nile's W221 S-Class have been improved with more emphasis on rear passenger safety. Nile also discusses some of the differences between this and the long-time rival to the S-Class, the BMW 7 Series. We recently drove the 2024 BMW 760i xDrive and give our thoughts on how the S-Class compares.

We then hit the road in the 2024 Mercedes-Benz S580e 4matic to see how this vehicle drives, rides, and performs, along with the fuel efficiency we recorded on our 100km test loop. We discuss the way the S-Class feels as a driver, and why 80% of European buyers continue to buy Mercedes-Benz vehicles. We go over some of our thoughts on the 7 Series along with our own 2013 Mercedes-Benz S 550 4matic.
