Mercedes-Benz has officially revealed the 2027 S-Class, introducing a comprehensive mid-cycle facelift for its flagship sedan. The update brings refined styling, upgraded powertrains, and cutting-edge tech, with global sales expected to begin in late 2026.

Earlier, PakWheels reported the global debut timeline based on leaked images and internal reports.

Subtle Design Tweaks, Deeper Engineering Changes

While the silhouette remains familiar, the exterior now features:

  • A 20% larger grille with chrome highlights
  • Optional illuminated Mercedes star ornament (a model-first)
  • Star-shaped LED signature lighting in both headlights and taillights

Mercedes says over 50% of components have been revised or replaced, making this more than a cosmetic refresh.

Powertrain Updates: V8 Returns, Plug-In Gets a Boost

The 2027 S-Class will offer three powertrains globally:

  • S500: 3.0L turbo inline-6 mild hybrid, 442 hp
  • S580: All-new 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with flat-plane crank, 530 hp
  • S580e: Plug-in hybrid combining the 6-cylinder with an electric motor, 576 hp

All variants come with a 9-speed automatic, 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and rear-axle steering. Intelligent dampers and mild-hybrid systems improve both performance and ride comfort.

Tech-Forward Interior: Superscreen, AI, Rear Office Mode

The interior sees the most dramatic changes, centered around a new MBUX “Superscreen” setup:

  • 12.3-inch digital driver display
  • 14.4-inch central touchscreen
  • 12.3-inch front passenger screen

Powered by Mercedes’ MB.OS platform, the interface now supports AI-assisted navigation and natural voice commands.

Rear passengers enjoy 13.1-inch displays with video conferencing capabilities, along with:

  • Heated seat belts (claimed world-first)
  • Memory-linked digital HVAC vents
  • Dual wireless charging pads
  • Enhanced ambient lighting and materials

Global Pricing Still Under Wraps

Mercedes-Benz has not yet announced official global pricing for the 2027 S-Class facelift. However, industry analysts expect a modest increase across the lineup due to the added tech, upgraded V8, and new plug-in hybrid hardware.

When Is It Coming to Pakistan?

While global deliveries begin in late 2026, Pakistani dealerships are expected to receive the 2027 S-Class in early to mid-2027, depending on variant demand and customs lead times.

Past models like the S500 and S580e were imported in limited numbers by local dealerships. If you’re among Pakistani buyers or collectors looking for the next evolution of luxury sedans, you can expect pre-orders to begin via high-end importers in mid-2027,  likely with on-demand pricing and extended delivery timelines.

Takeaway

The facelifted S-Class brings a sharper design, stronger V8 performance, and flagship-level tech, reinforcing its position in the ultra-luxury sedan segment. Pakistani enthusiasts can expect it to arrive through custom importers by 2027.
