The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has long been considered the pinnacle of luxury and elegance in the automotive world. With its distinctive style, cutting-edge technology, and unparalleled comfort, the S-Class sets the standard for luxury sedans. The 2018 model year builds on this legacy, introducing a range of enhancements and updates that make it even more desirable.
Technical Specifications
At the heart of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class 2018 is its advanced engineering and technology. The S-Class is available in different engine versions and trim levels, providing a wide range of options to suit individual preferences. The base S 450 is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 engine producing 362 horsepower, while the S 560 features a 4.0-liter V8 engine delivering an impressive 463 horsepower. For those seeking ultimate performance, the AMG S 63 boasts a handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine generating an exhilarating 603 horsepower.
Modifications
The 2018 S-Class boasts several modifications that enhance its overall appeal. One notable modification is the refreshed design, which includes a new front grille, reshaped LED headlights, and redesigned bumpers.

With its range of engine versions, trim levels, and modifications, the S-Class caters to discerning individuals looking for the utmost in comfort and style. Whether you choose the base S 450 or the adrenaline-inducing AMG S 63, the S-Class will unquestionably redefine your expectations of luxury sedans.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
