Introducing the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 400, a pinnacle of luxury and technology between 2015 and 2020. This iconic full-size sedan is crafted to provide unparalleled comfort and a host of advanced features, making it a preferred status symbol in New Zealand. Designed with the utmost attention to detail, the S-Class redefines the driving experience, combining exquisite materials with innovative technology to deliver a ride that is both luxurious and exhilarating.
Common issues to watch out for include various sensor failures, air suspension problems (models equipped with Airmatic), and issues with the complex electronic systems controlling features like the infotainment system. Oil leaks from the various engine seals are not uncommon as the vehicles age.
WOF inspections should closely examine the tire condition (uneven wear might indicate issues with alignment and suspension), brake wear, and the functionality of all lights. Make sure all driving assistance systems (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist) are operating effectively as many relied on sensors and computers to function, making them an expensive item to repair.
The W222 S-Class is celebrated for its stunning interior design, featuring the finest materials and cutting-edge technology. Crafted to provide a serene ambiance, spacious seating, and a smooth driving experience, it is a benchmark in luxury vehicles. The range of engine options, from efficient diesels to robust V8 and V12 variants, allows you to choose the perfect balance of performance and refinement for your needs.
As with all vehicles, regular maintenance is key to keeping your S 400 at its best. Commonly necessitating replacement are parts such as the brakes and suspension components. Service intervals recommend brake inspections every 20,000-30,000km. Particularly, the air suspension system requires keen attention, especially for models with Airmatic, to prevent issues and ensure optimal driving comfort. Should you notice any sensor failures or oil leaks, don’t hesitate to reach out for diagnostic services. The cooling system requires inspection around 150,000km; this includes components like the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses. [This naturally links to /shop/cooling]
