Mercedes-Benz will build a ‘super S-class’ sedan in 2015

Mercedes-Benz may have given up on the ultra-luxurious Maybach sedan, but apparently not on very high-end luxury cars.
Dieter Zetsche, CEO of parent company Daimler-Benz, told Automotive News that a 2015 model “super S-class” will fill some of the over $200,000-space that Mercedes ceded when it killed the slow-selling Maybach.

The super S-class will compete with vehicles such as the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Mulsanne.

Some of Mercedes’ high-performance AMG models cost nearly $200,000, but Zetsche told Automotive News that the super S-class would give Mercedes “a bigger piece of that segment.”
The new luxury sedan will offer technology and interior features that top those of the standard S-class, he told the publication.

However, he said, it will be priced substantially lower than the Maybach, which cost about $470,000.

Mercedes Benz Wednesday Car Feature: Active Blind Spot Assist

When your vehicle is traveling above approximately 20 mph, this system uses radar technology to sense when a vehicle enters the blind-spot area. Blind Spot Assist then automatically alerts the driver via an illuminated red icon in the appropriate side mirror. The system also gives an audible warning if the driver activates a turn signal while a vehicle is detected in the blind spot. And if you disregard the alerts and begin changing lanes, advanced active technology can apply the brake to a single rear wheel, to help guide the car back into its lane.
