Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has introduced an updated version of its flagship sedan, the S 580 e, now locally assembled and equipped with advanced EQ Hybrid Technology. Blending state-of-the-art innovation with enduring elegance, the new S-Class is a bold statement of the brand’s future-facing luxury ambitions – and a testament to its long-standing reputation for excellence.
At the heart of the new offering is a high-voltage plug-in hybrid system, supported by DC fast charging of up to 60 kW – allowing the battery to charge from 10% to 80% in just 20 minutes. But it’s not just about efficiency; it’s about maintaining the comfort, composure, and serenity that have long defined the S-Class experience.
Design-wise, the S 580 e maintains its commanding presence with the brand’s signature Sensual Purity aesthetic – a flowing silhouette from the bold front to the sculpted rear. Now sitting on 20-inch 10-twin-spoke forged wheels, the car exudes understated sophistication and modern prestige.
Underneath, rear-axle steering (up to 4.5 degrees) delivers agile handling in tight spaces and rock-solid stability at speed – whether navigating city streets or devouring the motorway.
A Sanctuary Of Innovation
Step inside and the S-Class cabin remains a serene sanctuary. The updated interior sees a new black dotted line centre console with a crystal-look finish, adding visual richness to the already exquisite materials. Meanwhile, climatised front seats with three-stage heating and ventilation create a custom comfort zone for both driver and passenger, with integrated fans in the cushions and backrests.
One of the most compelling additions is the ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL system, which continuously monitors and filters cabin air for harmful substances including PM2.5 fine particles, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO). The system automatically switches between fresh air and recirculation modes, ensuring optimal air quality. An antibacterial filter further reduces exposure to airborne contaminants and certain viruses, reinforcing the vehicle’s role as a wellness retreat on wheels.
Precision Meets Peace Of Mind
As expected of a Mercedes-Benz flagship, the S 580 e has undergone rigorous testing – including 160,000 kilometres of endurance driving across a variety of road conditions, ensuring lasting performance, durability and trust.
This next-generation S-Class continues to represent the very best of what a luxury vehicle can offer: graceful aesthetics, ground-breaking technology, and sustainable engineering – all packaged in an uncompromisingly premium build.
The Mercedes-Benz S 580 e is now available at a price of RM 738,888 and comes with an 8-year / 160,000 km high-voltage battery warranty.
