About This 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 450 4MATIC

At 85,164 miles, this 2018 S-Class sits in a very reasonable range for a vehicle of this caliber. Mercedes-Benz engineers build the S-Class to deliver well over 150,000 miles with proper maintenance, meaning this sedan still has a great deal of life ahead of it. The S 450 4MATIC is the all-wheel-drive variant of Mercedes-Benz's flagship lineup, making it a particularly smart choice for Michigan buyers who know firsthand how demanding Great Lakes winters can be. The exterior and interior appointments of the S-Class are crafted to a standard that simply doesn't age — this generation remains one of the most visually commanding vehicles on the road today.
 

2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Performance and Engine

Twin-Turbocharged V6 Meets 9-Speed Precision

Under the hood of this S 450 4MATIC sits a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with Mercedes-Benz's acclaimed 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain combination produces 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, delivering the kind of smooth, effortless acceleration that defines S-Class ownership. The 9G-TRONIC transmission is one of the most sophisticated automatic gearboxes ever fitted to a production vehicle — shifts are nearly imperceptible, always placing you in the ideal gear whether you're merging onto I-94 or cruising down Woodward Avenue.

The 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system adds a meaningful layer of confidence and control, distributing power intelligently across all four wheels. Whether you're navigating slick Detroit streets in January or enjoying a dry summer highway run, the 4MATIC system keeps this S-Class planted and composed. The air suspension — standard on the S 450 — automatically adjusts to road conditions, absorbing imperfections with a grace that makes even Detroit's most challenging pavement feel smooth.
 

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Features and Interior

S 450 Trim — Where Luxury Becomes a Standard, Not an Option

The S 450 4MATIC comes exceptionally well-equipped from the factory. Buyers can expect the twin 12.3-inch digital displays that form the S-Class's iconic widescreen cockpit, delivering navigation, infotainment, and instrument readouts in vivid clarity. Burmester surround sound, heated and ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, ambient interior lighting, and Mercedes-Benz's MAGIC BODY CONTROL or AIR BODY CONTROL suspension system are hallmarks of this generation. The rear cabin is equally impressive, with generous legroom and available heated rear seats that make this sedan a genuine chauffeur-quality experience even when you're driving yourself.

The MBUX predecessor system fitted to this generation S-Class includes Apple CarPlay compatibility, a high-resolution navigation system, and a full suite of driver assistance technologies including Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, and PRE-SAFE collision prevention — features that were ahead of their time in 2018 and remain genuinely useful today.
 

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Reliability and Ownership

The S-Class has a well-established reputation as one of the most engineered automobiles on the planet. The 3.0-liter biturbo V6 in the S 450 is widely regarded as one of Mercedes-Benz's more dependable powerplants from this era, and at 85,000 miles it is not yet approaching the point where major drivetrain concerns typically surface. Owners consistently praise the S-Class for holding up remarkably well cosmetically and mechanically with regular service. That said, as with any European luxury vehicle, staying current on scheduled maintenance — particularly fluid changes and air suspension service — is the key to long-term satisfaction. Buyers are encouraged to request a full vehicle history report and consider a pre-purchase inspection for complete peace of mind.

4MATIC is Mercedes-Benz's permanent all-wheel-drive system that continuously monitors and distributes torque to all four wheels for optimal traction and stability.
