Summary

Mercedes were the folks who invented the automobile and contributed hugely to making the world a smaller place. They have a headstart over the competition with their decades old experience in building luxurious vehicles. Top of the line materials, exquisite fit and finish levels, insanely crafted German engineering and an almost fanatical approach to detail ensure their continuing dominance and relevance in the luxury sedan segment. The ability to keep reinventing the wheel, such as building the EQS fully electric luxury sedan from the ground up because of the shift to cleaner, greener transportation modes make it relatively easy to safely predict that the Mercedes sedans will remain a status symbol for the foreseeable future.
