Mercedes S-Class Engines and Transmissions

Mercedes S-Class engine options range from efficient six-cylinders to more powerful units. For example, the 3.2 AT4 in the Sedan Long pairs a gasoline engine with a smooth four-speed automatic, ideal for relaxed cruising. Diesel and manual choices, like the 3.5 AT or 2.8 MT in the Sedan, cater to efficiency and driving engagement. Rear-wheel drive is standard across these examples.
