It now makes 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and matches up quite well with the nine-speed automatic transmission (although we noticed some uncouth behavior at low speeds and gentle throttle in a few cases during our drive).

The updated S-Class will also get the new vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications system that debuted on the latest E-Class. These include an automatic lane change feature for speeds between 50 and 112 mph; a traffic sign feature that keeps you within the posted speed limit (known limits, such as 30 mph in built-up areas or 60 mph on country roads, are also adopted from the navigation system); automatic traffic crawling; automatic emergency braking; emergency steering assist (when automatic emergency braking is insufficient); and the usual lane departure, cross traffic and blind spot warning features.
