The S-Class is Mercedes’s flagship luxury saloon and the benchmark for executive cars worldwide. In Nigeria it is the car of choice for top executives, governors and diplomats. Most buyers choose the long-wheelbase version for rear-seat space.
Old S-Classes are cheap to buy but expensive to fix. Air suspension, V8 turbos and electronics on a W221 can cost several million naira each. A well-kept W222 (2014–2020) is the safest used buy. If you want luxury with lower running costs, consider a Mercedes E-Class or Lexus ES 350.
The S-Class competes with the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8 and Lexus LS. In Nigeria the S-Class has the strongest prestige and resale value of the group. For electric luxury, see the Mercedes EQS.
From about ₦8m (older S550) to ₦280m for a new S580.
