The new 2018 S-Class Sedan designations, S 450 and S 560, boast new V6 and V8 engines. The S 450 Sedan replaces the outgoing six-cylinder 550e plug-in hybrid model with a twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine that produces an exhilarating 362 horsepower. The S 560 Sedan replaces the outgoing twin-turbocharged 4.7L V8 S 550 model with a smaller, also twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine. The V8 engine delivers a heart-pounding 463 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Although the Mercedes-AMG S 63 Sedan retains its name, it does receive an engine upgrade. The S 63 Sedan drops its twin-turbo 5.5L V8 for a higher-output version of the twin-turbo 4.0L V8. The result is an increase in horsepower from 577 to 603 and the same torque output of 664 lb-ft. The seven-speed automatic is also replaced with a nine-speed unit. Finally, the king of the S-Class lineup—so much so that it’s a separate model—the Mercedes-Maybach also receives a new model name and V8 engine. The Mercedes-Maybach S 560 Sedan now also features the smaller, enhanced 4.0L V8 engine.
