Mercedes-Benz S-Class
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is considered the German brand’s flagship vehicle, and justly so. In many ways, it’s like six versions of limousines, each driven by an extreme engine. There’s the conventional naturally aspirated V6, BlueTEC technology, and even the S400 hybrid, which is as fuel efficient as a compact. The base sedan comes standard with RWD, but you can also get it with AWD.
