Default 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Leaked

After 23.5 months of prototypes since December 2010, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been leaked. In this video shown on the W222 S-Class development, it shows in different parts of it,the side profiles, front and rear ends exposed. The taillights seem to sweep around the rear of S-Class extensively and are reported to multilevel 3D effect. I'll post more images on it.

If I blur my eyes that first picture angle makes it look like a Audi CUV

I don't see any leaks, everything is still cover up with disguise, there are no clear picture. Nothing we haven't seen from all the spy pics.

Here are some clear pictures of the W222, it is just a minor mid cycle update, look the same overall, lost the pronounce fender flares, bigger more upright front grill. It looks soft.

Incorrect. It's quite evolutionary, but nowhere near a minor mid cycle update. This is a new generation on a new platform with completely revamped electronics. The camo is doing a good job of fooling you, as this car is a bit less "slicked back" than the W221 and more focused on traditional luxury car form.

You are right, it is more then a minor mid cycle update, it is more of a major evolution, but on the same body and platform. It is the same shape and silhouette as the W221. Probably completely revamped electronics since it is easy to do. What camo? They are skin tight!

a bit less "slicked back" than the W221 and more focused on traditional luxury car form, I agreed, the fender flares are gone with bigger and more upright front grill.

Even the chassis code indicate it is an update on the same generation, when they switch generation, the #s are really far apart........W126 -> W140 -> W220.............W220/W221/W222 means is the same generation and platform.

Lightbulb AutoSpies


If you don't know already, we have spying eyes all over the world and tonight the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is finding out first hand that keeping secrets from us is a futile exercise.


Here is the interior in all it's glory or depending on your opinion it's better sameness to the car it is replacing.

We've also got some great closeups of the exterior albeit still slightly camouflaged.

Has Mercedes hit a homerun to you or is it a disappointment?

Spies, is this a STUD or DUD? Discuss!
