2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Performance and Engine

Twin-Turbo V6 Power You Can Feel

Under the hood of this S 450 sits a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 producing an impressive 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque — figures that rival or exceed many V8-powered competitors. Paired with Mercedes-Benz's silky smooth 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission, power delivery is seamless and effortless at every speed. In rear-wheel drive configuration, the S 450 delivers a more driver-focused experience than its all-wheel-drive sibling, with beautifully weighted steering and a balanced chassis that rewards confident drivers.

In real-world driving, this powertrain is a marvel. Merging onto the 91 Freeway or cruising down the 215 feels entirely unhurried in the S 450 — there's always a deep well of power available without the engine ever feeling strained. The 9G automatic shifts almost telepathically, making city driving through Riverside just as pleasant as open highway cruising toward Palm Springs or Los Angeles.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Features and Interior

A Cabin That Redefines Comfort

The 2018 S-Class S 450 trim arrives with an interior that sets the benchmark for the automotive world. Expect a richly appointed cabin featuring premium leather seating, genuine wood and metal trim accents, and front seats with multi-way power adjustment, heating, and ventilation. The signature COMAND infotainment system provides intuitive navigation, Bluetooth audio, and smartphone integration on a high-resolution display.

Technology That Anticipates Your Every Need

The S-Class is famous for pioneering technology that eventually trickles down to lesser vehicles. The 2018 model features the advanced Magic Body Control suspension system (on equipped units), a head-up display, 360-degree camera system, active lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and pre-safe collision mitigation. The Burmester surround sound audio system transforms every commute into a concert hall experience. Few vehicles at this price point — or frankly at any price point — offer this density of technology and refinement.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Reliability and Ownership

What Owners Say About the 2018 S 450

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class consistently earns praise from long-term owners for its ride quality, powertrain smoothness, and build integrity. The 3.0L twin-turbo V6 in the S 450 is widely regarded as one of Mercedes-Benz's most robust modern engines — offering strong performance without the added complexity and potential repair costs of the V8 found in higher trims. Many S 450 owners report crossing 100,000 and even 150,000 miles with proper maintenance and no major mechanical concerns.

Smart Ownership Tips

Like any European luxury vehicle, the S-Class rewards diligent maintenance. Staying current with Mercedes-Benz's recommended service intervals — particularly oil changes using the correct full-synthetic specification, spark plug replacement, and transmission fluid service — will keep this car performing at its peak for years to come. Buyers should also budget for quality tires, as the S 450's performance envelope demands premium rubber. Overall, buyers who research and maintain this vehicle properly often find it to be one of the most satisfying ownership experiences in the used luxury segment.
