Mercedes S-Class Engines and Transmissions

The Mercedes S-Class engine lineup balances smoothness and capability. A 2.8-liter gasoline unit with manual transmission suits those who prefer direct control, while the 3.0-liter diesel with automatic offers relaxed, efficient cruising. For added urgency, the 3.2-liter gasoline manual pairs eager response with rear-wheel-drive dynamics. Each powertrain is engineered to deliver the refinement expected from a flagship sedan.
