W220 (2000 to 2006)

The Mercedes-Benz W220 S-Class was introduced in 2000 as the fourth generation of Mercedes’ flagship luxury sedan, marking a shift toward a lighter, more modern design compared to the W140 it replaced. Offered exclusively as a four-door sedan, the W220 range featured a broad lineup of V6, V8, and V12 engines, including variants such as the S320 / S320L, S350 / S350L, S400 CDI, S430 / S430L, S500 / S500L (including 4MATIC and Pullman), and high-performance models like the S55 AMG and range-topping S65 AMG. Produced until 2006 before being replaced by the W221, total production reached approximately 485,000 units. In the Australian market, the W220 is recognised for its comfort, performance, and technological advancement, with AMG and V12 variants increasingly gaining interest as modern luxury performance classics.
