LEAKED! This Is The New Mercedes S-Class Before You're Supposed To See It

The all-new Mercedes S-Class has been in development for several years now. Like previous generations, the new S-Class will no doubt set new standards for luxury sedans. We've already seen Mercedes testing camouflaged prototypes of the new flagship, but now the covers have come off early. Photos shared on Instagram show the new Mercedes S-Class practically naked with minimal amounts of camouflage applied to the hood. Despite the poor quality photos, this is our most revealing look yet at the luxury sedan before the official debut.

As we expected, the new Mercedes S-Class sports an evolutionary design updated with slimmer headlights and a larger grille. At the back, the rear taillights appear to be inspired by the sleek Mercedes CLS, positioned below a full-width chrome strip.

Overall, the exterior doesn't look radically different to the last-generation S-Class, but interior has been completely redesigned. We get a clear look inside the cabin, covered only by protective wrapping in contrast to previous spy shots. The most noticeable difference is the addition of a massive Tesla-style portrait infotainment screen running the latest MBUX software, paired with a digital instrument cluster.

Elsewhere, the new dashboard layout repositions the air vents above the infotainment screen, the steering wheel has been redesigned, and there's a noticeable lack of physical buttons. Vertical air vents located next to the steering wheel appear to be inspired by the Mercedes Vision EQS. Additional screens are fitted behind the front seats to entertain rear passengers, and we also get a close look at the opulent diamond-quilted leather seats.
