The cars were equipped with airbags, pretensioners of belts and many other innovations, which were later switched to other cars. There was also a turbodiesel model for export to North America — SD. In , cars underwent a major renovation, during which the last carbureted model of the S-class S was removed from the model line. The W series has become the most successful in the entire S-Class line in terms of the length of production and the number of copies built, despite the fact that it has been replaced by the next three generations.

The series was produced until and SEL up to 92nd and for 12 years sedans were produced. The car was distinguished by a sensational amount of the most advanced technical innovations: from double-glazed windows to the rear antennas.

Thus, the W S-Class series became not only the direct heir of the W series, but also the legendary th W limousine In , two new budget models appeared: petrol SE 2. In March the sedan undergoes restyling. Externally, the car changes the orange panes of the direction indicators to transparent ones, and new lights are received from behind.

Inside the car gets the updated electronics and a new interior. In , the S-class officially separated the coupe, which became a separate CL-class, as well as a new diesel model S Turbodiesel.

In the second half of the s, Daimler-Benz, which became part of the transnational group DaimlerChrysler, was forced to reconsider its overly conservative concept of a luxury car segment F according to the European classification , suggesting that such a car should be the most impressive both in design and in design be the most comfortable, and therefore, heavy and complex in design.

Accordingly, a large fuel consumption and expensive maintenance were not taken into account. Appeared in the summer of , the S-Class W was kg lighter and mm shorter than its predecessor and featured a futuristic body design with rounded exterior details.

At the same time, the interior volume of the cabin was even increased, and the saturation of the most diverse electronics only increased. If the former diesel S-class models were initially limited to export to the US market primarily for the fulfillment of the CAFE fuel standards by the Mercedes-Benz brand , and therefore remained only budget models with limited circulation, realized mainly through fleet sales, then after the emergence of a revolutionary Common Rail technology, the new budget model S CDI has become very popular already in other markets and private customers.

In , the concern Daimler AG began to develop a concept of facelift for the car. The upgraded version, which received a more aerodynamic front end and updated taillights, became available to customers since September In general, with the exception of the installed radiator grille at a more vertical angle, a new transparent headlight housing and lower air intakes on the front bumper, the overall look of the car remained unchanged.

All cars of the series in the standard configuration got a multimedia system COMAND, and the S model was additionally equipped with a navigation system.
