Performance Specifications of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan    

Power Meets Intelligence: Turbocharged and Electrified Performance

Every model in the 2025 Mercedes-Benz S-Class lineup offers a thrilling blend of turbocharged strength and electric innovation. The S 500 features a 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine with an electric auxiliary compressor, producing 442 horsepower. This is made possible by a hybrid Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) that boosts torque delivery and creates quicker, smoother acceleration, particularly in stop-and-go conditions.  

For drivers seeking more muscle, the S 580 is equipped with a 4.0L V8 biturbo engine, delivering 496 horsepower with twin turbochargers and electric assistance. Both powertrains are engineered to perform with remarkable balance, channeling torque through the 9-speed transmission to an intelligent all-wheel-drive system.  

Plug-In Hybrid Capability with Everyday Efficiency  

If electric range is a priority, the 2025 S 580e Plug-In Hybrid offers the perfect mix of luxury and sustainability. 

This model combines a turbocharged gas engine with a powerful electric motor for a total system output of 503 horsepower. Drivers can travel up to 47 miles on pure electric power before switching to the gas engine, which is ideal for daily commutes or short trips around Peoria.  

Charging is equally convenient. You can recharge at home in just a few hours or use a DC fast charger to bring the battery to 80% in about 20 minutes. It’s a sophisticated hybrid setup that keeps performance high without sacrificing practicality.  

Handling and Agility You Can Feel  

Confidence in motion comes naturally with the S-Class, thanks to available rear-axle steering. At lower speeds, the rear wheels turn opposite the front to tighten the turning radius, making parking and navigating narrow city streets easier. At highway speeds, the system adjusts to provide more responsive lane changes and improved stability.  

Paired with AIRMATIC® air suspension and 4MATIC® all-wheel drive, the S-Class glides across the road with surefooted precision. For even more advanced handling, E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL scans the road ahead and reacts instantly to surface changes, providing exceptional ride comfort and balance.
