Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles presents the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the “undisputed leader in the premium segment regarding comfort and wellness, setting new standards in the interior”. NBK Automobiles is the authorised distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar.
“The ultimate in modern luxury car” is available at the NBK Automobiles showroom on Salwa Road, according to a press statement.
The flagship model has been comprehensively modernised and is confirming its role as a technological trailblazer with new engines and enhanced driving assistance systems. The top-of-the-range model of Mercedes-Benz takes another big step towards autonomous driving and elevates Intelligent Drive to the next level. Its precise attention to detail is seen within every corner of the car, from the wood-leather steering wheel to the crystal-look tail lamps, the statement notes.
The S-Class offers a new level of comfort for the driver and passengers. Thanks to the world-first energising comfort control feature, the driver and passengers can now link various comfort systems such as climate control and massage functions. This feature also allows customers to configure specific wellness set-ups to suit their mood and enhance physical comfort and performance on the road.
The Mercedes-Benz S 560 boasts of a V-8 engine that comes to the starting line with 345kW (469hp) and 700Nm. The bi-turbo engine is among the most economical V-8 petrol engines in the world, and consumes about 10% less fuel than its predecessor.
The S-Class has introduced an additional layer of excellence by incorporating and enhancing a host of innovative driving assistance systems initially introduced in the previous model. These include Active Steer Assist, Active Breaking Assist, Evasive Steering Assist and Pre-safe Sound.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class made a technological statement of superiority in 2013 with Road Surface Scan. The system detects bumps ahead of the vehicle and adjusts the Active Body Control suspension accordingly. In the S-Class, this suspension control is further improved. The stereo camera of the system now scans the road even more thoroughly, even in dusk and at speeds up to 180km/h.
Another comfort enhancement is Curve, the curve-tilting function available in the S-Class sedan for the first time. Modern luxury in the S-Class is affirmed with the highest quality materials and uncompromising workmanship. 
All models are fitted with a new radiator grille: the versions with six and eight-cylinder engines sport three twin louvres as well as vertical strips with a high-gloss black finish. The V-12 model variants are fitted with additional chrome-finish vertical strips in the radiator grille. 
Multibeam LED headlamps and ultra-range High Beam turn night into day, while the Adaptive High-Beam Assist Plus permanently activates the main beams without dazzling surrounding traffic. 
Another Mercedes-Benz hallmark is the high-quality look and feel created with the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship in the interior of the S-Class. These include open-pore woods as well as leather-trimmed doors and dashboard.
The energising comfort control is a world-first entering series production and can be experienced in all seats. This optional feature links various comfort systems in the vehicle together. 
It systematically uses the functions of the climate control system (including fragrancing) and the seats (heater, ventilation, massage), the panel heating as well as lighting and musical atmospheres, and enables a specific wellness set-up tailored to the mood and need of the customer. 
The S-Class Qatar models come with panoramic sunroof as standard, as well as a Sun Protection Package to protect passengers from direct sunlight and reduce the interior temperature of the car. Additionally, memory front seats come as standard in the Qatar models, automatically adjusting the driver’s seat to their preferred setting. All S-Class models are fitted, as standard, with the keyless start function. 
The interior of the S-Class is characterised by two high-resolution displays, each with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches.
