The new Mercedes-Benz S 580 e with EQ Hybrid Technology delivers elevated refinement with enhanced features.

Mercedes-Benz S 580 e with EQ Hybrid Technology(1)

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia is pleased to introduce a series of updates to its locally-assembled flagship, the new Mercedes-Benz S 580 e with EQ Hybrid Technology. These enhancements reflect the brand’s ongoing commitment to delivering the finest in automotive excellence while strategically meeting evolving market conditions and consumer trends. Refined in every detail, the new S-Class offers advanced equipment upgrades that further enhance dynamic performance and comfort.

“The S-Class has always set the standard in automotive excellence, and with the new Mercedes-Benz S 580 e with EQ Hybrid Technology we continue this legacy by uniting meticulous craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. Every detail has been designed with our customers in mind, blending advanced technology with timeless elegance to deliver an unparalleled driving and ownership experience. It is this enduring pursuit of the highest standards that makes the new S-Class unmistakably Mercedes-Benz.”

Nadia Trimmel, Vice President, Marketing & Sales, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia

For decades, the S-Class has defined what a car can be, serving as a guiding light for Mercedes-Benz and the automotive world. Every detail reflects the dedication of Mercedes-Benz designers and engineers, from precision-crafted finishes to pioneering safety innovations. Its engines are pushed to the extremes in endurance testing, while cabins are honed to remain whisper-quiet even in simulated downpours. Beyond this, the S-Class also undergoes durability testing across at least 160,000 kilometres on a variety of roads, delivering lasting performance and reliability. This meticulous approach ensures a flagship sedan that embodies comfort, refinement, quality, and lasting trust.

Building on this heritage of excellence, the S-Class continues to make a confident statement with timeless poise. It showcases an exclusive design language of Sensual Purity, with its elegant silhouette flowing in a harmonious line from the sculpted front to the expressive rear. Now adorned with 20-inch 10-twin-spoke forged wheels, it exudes sophistication and purposeful presence that defines modern luxury in motion.

With rear-axle steering of up to 4.5 degrees, the S-Class delivers improved agility and stability on every journey, whether navigating city streets or cruising along the highway. Further enhancing the effortless charging experience, the high-voltage battery now supports DC fast charging of up to 60 kW, enabling a charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 20 minutes, offering efficiency for everyday use.

Inside, the S-Class has long been renowned as a sanctuary of comfort and a serene environment for relaxed working while on the road. Its cabin is further elevated by a center console in black dotted lines and a crystal-look finish adding to the visual richness of the interior.

Comfort is taken a step further with climatised front seats offering three-stage ventilation and heating. Integrated fans within the seat cushions and backrests ensure a consistently pleasant seating environment for both the driver and front passenger, tailored to individual preferences.

ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL also contributes to the overall wellbeing of occupants by continuously monitoring air quality through advanced sensors and displays the information via the onboard MBUX. It detects nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and fine particles of size PM2.5 in the outside air. When measurements reach a certain range, the system intelligently switches between fresh air and air recirculation mode to maintain optimal cabin conditions. An interior filter with antibacterial properties also reduces inhalable harmful substances and certain viruses, ensuring cleaner, healthier air for all occupants.

The new Mercedes-Benz S 580 e with EQ Hybrid Technology is priced at RM 738,888 (including 10% ST) for Peninsular Malaysia, inclusive of an 8-year / 160,000km high-voltage battery warranty (whichever comes first). Price is on the road, without insurance.

This model is locally-assembled at Mercedes-Benz’s plant in Pekan, which is a significant part of the global Mercedes-Benz production network, and held to the highest standards. For more information, visit our website at www.mercedes-benz.com.my/s-class or contact your preferred agent to experience the new Mercedes-Benz S 580 e with EQ Hybrid Technology first-hand through an exclusive viewing or test drive.
