Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has unveiled the latest evolution of its flagship luxury sedan, the locally-assembled Mercedes-Benz S 580 e with EQ Hybrid Technology, blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge hybrid performance. The refreshed S-Class not only reinforces the brand’s benchmark status in luxury motoring but also reflects its forward-looking strategy to align with shifting consumer preferences and market trends.

For decades, the S-Class has been the symbol of what an automobile can achieve—comfort, innovation, and reliability at the highest level. Each model is subjected to extreme endurance testing, from high-mileage durability trials exceeding 160,000 kilometres to noise simulation tests that ensure its cabin remains whisper-quiet in the harshest conditions. This meticulous approach results in a sedan that embodies trust, refinement, and long-lasting performance.

The new S 580 e continues Mercedes-Benz’s design philosophy of Sensual Purity, showcasing a flowing silhouette that exudes timeless poise. Complemented by 20-inch 10-twin-spoke forged wheels, the sedan balances sophistication with a commanding road presence—an unmistakable representation of modern luxury in motion.

At the heart of the S 580 e lies a 2,999cc engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined system output of 510 hp and a robust 750 Nm of torque. This powertrain enables a swift 0–100 km/h acceleration in just 5.2 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h.

To further enhance everyday practicality, the upgraded high-voltage battery now supports DC fast charging of up to 60 kW, reducing charge times from 10% to 80% to just 20 minutes—making electrified luxury more convenient than ever.

Equipped with rear-axle steering of up to 4.5 degrees, the S-Class combines agility with stability. Whether maneuvering through tight city streets or cruising along highways, the system ensures a seamless balance between comfort and control.

Inside, the S-Class offers an elevated sense of serenity and craftsmanship. A new center console with black dotted lines and a crystal-look finish adds depth to the cabin’s visual appeal. Meanwhile, climatised front seats with three-stage heating and ventilation ensure a personalised seating experience for both driver and passenger.

The ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL system further enhances wellbeing by monitoring external air quality, detecting harmful pollutants such as NOx, CO, and PM2.5. When necessary, the system automatically adjusts airflow between fresh air and recirculation, while an antibacterial filter reduces harmful substances and viruses—ensuring occupants breathe only the cleanest air.

Priced at RM 738,888 (on-the-road, without insurance, including 10% ST), the S 580 e comes with an 8-year/160,000 km high-voltage battery warranty. Proudly assembled at Mercedes-Benz’s state-of-the-art facility in Pekan, the model benefits from Malaysia’s role in the brand’s global production network, upholding the same rigorous standards of excellence found worldwide.
