MotorTrend names its 2027 Car of the Year
MotorTrend praised the sedan’s technology and luxury, while a recall affecting about 30,000 vehicles underscores safety concerns.
- The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been named MotorTrend's 2027 Car of the Year, earning recognition for its combination of cutting-edge technology, engineering excellence, and luxury.
- Since 1949, MotorTrend has presented the Car of the Year Award, evaluating vehicles on six criteria including design and engineering excellence; the S-Class has served as Mercedes' flagship since 1972.
- Edward Loh, head of editorial for MotorTrend, stated the S-Class "was the standard that all others were measured against." The vehicle starts at approximately $130,000.
- Loh explained that technology in today's luxury vehicles eventually becomes staples in affordable cars, stating "a lot of the technology that it has will trickle down" to entry-level vehicles.
- The recognition arrives amid a recall affecting approximately 30,000 S-Class vehicles from model years 2022 through 2025 over a brake-line issue, though repairs are provided at no cost to owners.
