Top Montreal Mercedes Benz Dealer in QC

The 2010 Mercedes S-Class has been refreshed but not completely overhauled yet. Still, it remains one of the benchmarks in the primo luxury sedan segment. The S-Class looks beautiful all around and throws in some sportiness into its design. The BMW however has a the twin kidney grille pushed forward giving it an unfortunate look.

Engine

The Mercedes-Benz S550, available at your local Montreal Mercedes-Benz dealer, sports a 5.5-liter V8 that makes 382 hp and 391 pound-feet of torque. In testing, we’ve found that this is enough for a 5.7-second 0-60-mph time. A standard seven-speed automatic transmission routes power to the rear wheels. The S550 4Matic is all-wheel drive. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 15 mpg city/23 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined with rear-drive and 14/21/17 with 4Matic. All V8-powered S-Class models get a seven-speed automatic transmission, while V12s are attached to a five-speed capable of handling their prodigious torque.

Powering all 2010 BMW 750 models is a 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 that produces 400 hp and 450 pound-feet of torque. The only transmission available for this engine is a six-speed automatic with manual shift control. Power is directed to the rear wheels in standard models, while xDrive variants are all-wheel drive.

Special Features

The Mercedes flagship embodies craftsmanship and attention to detail. Panels are precisely placed, and materials quality is beyond reproach. Burnished wood and pliant leather gloss almost every nook and cranny, and the plastics used are soft and pleasantly textured. The COMAND electronics system uses a control knob and screen to operate most entertainment and navigation functions.

As BMW’s flagship, the 7 Series represents the company’s pinnacle of luxury, comfort and cutting-edge technology. Along with the main iDrive controller knob, several physical buttons help to simplify some of the most commonly used functions, however, some of these high-tech features may overwhelm drivers.
