Mercedes-Benz W222

The Mercedes-Benz W222 is the sixth generation of the Mercedes Benz S-Class; it was produced from 2013 to 2020, serving as the successor to the W221 S-Class and predecessor to the W223 S-Class. The W222 was designed in 2009 by Korean designer Il-hun Yoon, who drew inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz F700 concept car. The exterior design was developed by a team under the direction of the Slovenian car designer Robert Lešnik. The W222 has a design theme similar to the C-Class (W205) and E-Class (W213). In Europe, sales of the S400 Hybrid, S350 BlueTEC, S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, and S500 began in September 2013; and sales of the S550 in the United States also began on that same month. The four-wheel drive (4Matic) model went on sale in November, and additional models, including V12 models and those from AMG, were released in 2014. The W222 S-Class debuted on 15 May 2013, in Hamburg, Germany, and entered production in Sindelfingen, Germany, in June 2013. Production of the W222 ended in September 2020 with the introduction of its successor, the S-Class (W223).
