Mercedes - Clase S (2016)
Looking for a reliable snapshot of the Mercedes Clase S price range? Whether you’re curious about the original cost of a Mercedes Clase S 2016 price or the reality of a used Mercedes Clase S price, this brief brings all the essentials to you in one glance. Designed to help buyers, sellers, and enthusiasts gauge value, depreciation, and market positioning, the data below is updated monthly and sources both manufacturer disclosures and transactional market data across the continent.
In 2016, the Clase S represented Mercedes‑Benz’s flagship luxury saloon, combining a stately chassis with cutting‑edge technology. Its launch price in the European market ran in the €111,000–€125,000 bracket, with options and customizations elevating many units beyond that ceiling. As today’s cars evolve, the same model retains a desirability that translates into competitive resale prices, yet the depreciation curve remains a critical factor for buyers and investors alike.

Depreciation Insight – How Fast Does the Value Slip?
New luxury sedans typically follow a steeper depreciation curve than their economy counterparts. For the Mercedes Clase S, estimates indicate:
- Year 1: Loss of 15‑20% of original retail value – a typical range for prestige vehicles
- Years 2‑5: Average depreciation of 8‑10% per year – the vehicle’s robust brand cachet and low mileage options help mitigate loss
- Years 6‑10: Cumulative depreciation reaching about 50‑60% from the original price – at this stage the market shifts to certified pre‑owned segments
These patterns hold when used Mercedes Clase S price data is cross‑referenced across European and North‑American markets. Certified pre‑owned units with comprehensive service histories can demand higher prices, stretching depreciation curves into the 12‑year mark.
Comparative Context – How Does It Stack Up?
When compared to its contemporaries (e.g., BMW 7 Series or BMW 5 Series), the Mercedes Clase S 2016 price was positioned on the premium end of the spectrum. While the BMW 7 Series offers comparable luxury with a diesel engine at lower emission levels, the Mercedes Clase S offers a more balanced powertrain mix and exclusive tech features like the latest MBUX infotainment suite and quantum jet traction control.
In a resale context, the used Mercedes Clase S price trends slightly above the BMW 7 Series by 3–5% due to a larger collector base for the S-Class platform. However, depreciation outpaces that of the BMW 5 Series by 20% in the first three years, making it a more cautious long‑term investment unless the vehicle is kept in near‑new condition.
Market Position – A Tiered Luxury Experience
The Clase S dominates the “executive” segment of the luxury
