City journeys set the terms for the Mercedes S-Class 6.0 AT in this overview: repeated short stages, junctions and kerbside stops, rather than long uninterrupted stretches of open road.
3 generation · Sedan Long
Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
250 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
RWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
89 × 80.2 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
5987 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
4
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
394 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
290 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
10
Maximum power rpm
5500 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
570 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
3800 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
6.6 s
Engine power system
Distributed injection (multi-point)
Number of cylinders
12
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
Much urban motoring happens at low speed, in the pause-and-move rhythm of queues and junctions. Because of that, many drivers care less about outright pace than about how comfortably a car settles into repeated starts, brief gaps and gentle deceleration.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Everyday journeys rarely allow a settling-in period; the wipers are needed the moment it rains. Controls that follow a logical order, and respond the same way each time, let habit take over so that routine adjustments do not become small interruptions.
Body and Practicality
Short city trips often mean passengers joining and leaving several times in one outing. That situation is easier when people can get in and out facing the pavement, with a place to keep coats and small items within reach.
