S-Class W223 V223: A New Benchmark

Very dynamic engine, no turbo lag – feels like an AMG version. Reasonable fuel consumption for its power and size (10-11L). No issues so far. In my opinion, definitely the most comfortable in its segment. With AirMATIC and E-Active Body Control, the difference in cornering is colossal. It drives like on rails, or rather, it glides. A SOLID 6* rating from me!!! The navigation, or rather 'virtual reality', works brilliantly.

Pros: Extremely dynamic engine, AMG-like performance., Exceptional comfort, best in class., Superb ride and handling thanks to E-Active Body Control., Brilliant virtual reality navigation system.
Cons: Fuel consumption, while reasonable, is still 10-11L.
