2020 S-Class Sedan Interior
Arguably the best part of any S-Class is its interior. With an opulent yet inviting cabin swathed in luxurious materials finished to the highest standard, the S-Class is arguably the benchmark in this area. The interior is no small space, but it feels even bigger than it is, thanks to a panoramic roof and a dash design that gives an impression of width. Getting in and out is an easy affair, and once seated, you'll find your backside on genuine leather that is perfectly stitched and accented by fine wood and brushed aluminum. Options like power sunshades for the rear windows, massaging seats, a refrigerator, and rear-seat entertainment screens all elevate the feeling of living the ultimate lifestyle.

Seating and Interior Space
The S-Class officially seats five, with copious volumes of headroom and legroom. The large door openings mean that ingress and egress are always dignified, but for the ultimate in rear-seat luxury, a pair of individual rear seats can be optioned, each of which will have power adjustment and memory settings. Up front, 16-way power-adjustable heated seats are standard, allowing for all body types to find a commanding driving position, but the back is where you really want to be. Here, you can even have calf rests, and if you spec the option, the front passenger seat can be controlled from the back to further expand legroom when you really want to stretch out.

Interior Colors and Materials
Genuine leather upholstery is standard of course, with Black, Silk Beige/Espresso Brown, and Nut Brown/Black as your no-cost options. Nappa leather is available in the same colors for $2,290, or in Porcelain too. Other options include Magma Grey/Espresso Brown, while quilted Nappa in the same colors or in Mahogany contrasted with Silk Beige costs $4,450. The most expensive choice is semi-aniline leather, at $8,600. This can be had in Silk Beige/Deep Sea Blue, Silke Beige/Satin Red Pearl, or Silk Beige/Titanium Grey Pearl. Dash and door trims are available in various wood finishes, with Black Poplar and Burl Walnut at no charge. Black Piano or two choices of natural grain ash wood in brown or black cost $800, while black with silver lines costs $1,300.
2020 S-Class Sedan Trunk and Cargo Space
The S-Class, despite its Titanic-like proportions, will likely require you to have a staff member follow you in an additional vehicle if you need to take more than five carry-on suitcases with you. The trunk only boasts 12.3 cubic feet of volume, and if you spec the premium sound system, a subwoofer eats into that further. By comparison, a BMW 7 series manages 18.2 cubes despite similar dimensions and more legroom. Even an E-Class, which is significantly smaller overall, can fit 13 cubes of stuff in the trunk.
In the cabin, front occupants get a pair of cupholders, along with space to charge one's phone wirelessly. The door pockets are decent enough and the center armrests also hide a reasonable bin. In the back, the same cupholders can be optioned with heating and cooling, and a refrigerator box can also accompany the center console here. If you don't spec individual rear seats, the door pockets and fold-down armrest will have to suffice.

2020 S-Class Sedan Infotainment and Features
Features
A wide range of optional features helps the S-Class fit its uber-luxury limo bill, with choices of features including front and rear heated seats both with massaging functions, ventilated front seats, heated front armrests, and a heated steering wheel. Quad-zone climate control, rear wireless charging, heated and cooled rear cupholders, and a heated windshield are also available. Even as standard, the equipment list is impressive, with a pair of 12.3-inch digital screens sitting atop the dash, one of which is exclusively dedicated to servicing the driver with information that a traditional cluster usually would. If that's not enough to monitor vitals, a head-up display can be added. Other features you get on all S-Class models include AIRMATIC adaptive sir suspension, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive LED headlights with ultra-wide beams, 16-way heated front seats, soft-close doors, 64-color configurable ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, an electronic trunk closer, and safety features like a drowsy driver warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, crosswind and blind-spot assists, collision preparation and impact noise reduction, and a rearview camera with active parking assist. Optional safety features include adaptive cruise control, a surround-view camera, rear-collision preparation, active blind-spot and lane-keep assists, an infrared camera, and evasive steering.
Infotainment
The infotainment system is displayed on the second of two 12.3-inch digital screens, with numerous confounding ways to control it. A touchpad controller, a rotary knob, physical shortcut buttons, steering-wheel touchpads, and voice control all have the ability to access the system. Once you understand how to navigate it, a number of features are at your disposal, including a 13-speaker Burmester sound system. SiriusXM satellite radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a pair of USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity, HD Radio, and COMAND navigation are all standard. However, a CD-player is optional if digital media is too complex for you. Also available are DVD-playing rear-seat entertainment screens, TuneIn Radio, Wi-Fi, and a 26-speaker Burmester 3D surround sound system with wonderfully intricate tweeters that deploy from the A-pillars.
