The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the epitome of a luxury sedan, but if you’re not convinced that this is the car for you, comparing it to another in its class can help make up your mind. See how the Mercedes-Benz S-Class matches up to the Lexus ES in two major categories:
Power
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has exceptional power. The base engine is a turbo- and supercharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder that produces 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. There are also two available engines:
- Twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8: 496 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque
- Twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12: 621 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque
All engines are paired with a nine-speed automatic, and 4MATIC® is standard. The base Lexus ES comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Even the available engine can’t compete with the base Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It’s a 3.5-liter V6 that puts out 302 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard.
Technology
The amount of tech features found in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is outstanding. Every model comes with:
- Wireless Android Auto™

- Navigation
- 12.8-inch touchscreen
- 6 USB ports
- Wireless device charging
