Report: Mercedes-Benz planning four S-Class variants

Friday, May 13th, 2011 @ 1:05 p.m.

Mercedes-Benz will reportedly double the number of variants of its next-generation S-Class. Mercedes’ latest flagship is expected to arrive during the second half of next year as a 2013 model.

Today’s current regular- and long-wheelbase S-Class variants will remain on tap for the next iteration of the car – codenamed W222 – but Mercedes will add two more body styles to the mix.

Set to arrive sometime during 2013, Mercedes-Benz will launch a coupe version of the S-Class sedan. Following the pattern laid out by the E-Class coupe, the S-Class coupe will replace Mercedes’ current CL model.

A year after the launch of the S-Class coupe, Mercedes will launch a convertible variant of the new S-Class. Although the 2007 Ocean Drive Concept (pictured) hinted at a four-door convertible S-Class, the production version is expected to retain the two-door setup of the coupe, but will offer seating for four.

The S-Class has long been known as a technology leader, and that tradition will continue with the 2013 model. Expected advanced electronics like a road-sensing Magic Body Control system and a more user friendly Command system.
