Mercedes-Benz S-Class collects further award: The new S-Class is the “Luxury Topauto 2006”
The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been awarded the title of “Topauto 2006”. The new high-end luxury saloon, launched in autumn, was acclaimed in the luxury category.
With a total of 256 points, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class won the “Luxury” category of Topauto by a significant margin. The Topauto accolade was awarded for the first time to mark fifty years of the German Motor Information Service (mid). The jury was made up of German-speaking journalists from Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
The new top-of-the-line model from the Stuttgart-based car manufacturer, which celebrated its market launch at the end of September, supersedes its predecessor, the world’s bestselling luxury saloon, with a sales total of around 500,000 models. The new S-Class features a wealth of technical innovations as standard – from Brake Assist PLUS with its radar sensors to the infrared technology-based night view assist, from the upgraded COMAND system to the preventive PRE-SAFE® occupant protection with additional functions, from Active Body Control to the dynamic multicontour seat with extended massage function – all of which make the Mercedes flagship a benchmark for car development as a whole.
