The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe lasted from 2014 until 2022 in its most recent generation, and was almost in a class of one throughout. There are other luxurious coupes but all trade some space and comfort for sporty handling and cosier cabins, while the S-Class is a true luxury cruiser.
Depreciation can be severe on cars like this so a used model may now be just a fraction of what it cost new, and while we’d always remind you that a car like this will still have the maintenance bills to match its £100k-plus new pricing, there are few finer ways to travel if you can afford it.
The S-Class Coupe’s contemporaries all went down a slightly sportier path than the Mercedes, but if you’re considering the Coupe, then the Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB11, and BMW 8 Series may also appeal.
As we mention in our full S-Class Coupe review, it’s a car that will only ever appeal to a small percentage of people - and not just because they’re far from cheap when bought brand new. The running costs are also high, and it’s a physically large car, which affects the way it drives, and the way it feels from behind the wheel.
In two-door coupe form, you also aren’t getting as much practicality from that five-metre footprint as you do from an S-Class saloon, though if you were to choose a coupe to spend the rest of your life riding around in the back in, the S-Class Coupe would still probably be that car, provided you’re not too tall. A 400-litre boot isn’t bad either.
It’s incredibly luxurious though, and the car’s size does give you a feeling of presence you don’t get in lesser coupes. Clever technology, from air suspension to Magic Body Control (which actually tilts the car into a turn to counteract the normal effects of body lean), means the Coupe behaves impressively, but ride quality rather than handling agility is its real trump card.
Refinement too, with a selection of V8s and V12s that sound great under hard acceleration but settle into a whisper at a cruise. Fuelling them doesn’t come cheap, nor does insuring the S-Class Coupe, and expect maintenance costs to be high. But if you can afford all that, it’s almost certainly worth it.
The S-Class Coupe almost has no rivals. Closest are the Bentley Continental GT, Aston Martin DB11, and BMW 8 Series Coupe, but all are smaller inside, the Brits are much more expensive, and the BMW just can’t touch the luxurious feel of the Mercedes. They’re all sharper to drive, though.

There’s no bad choice really. If you’ve got your heart set on an AMG we’d not try and steer you away, though it has to be said all the AMG addenda in the world won’t turn an S-Class into a sports car - you’ll want an AMG GT if that’s your goal. In all its forms though, and in any trim level, the S-Class Coupe is enormously luxurious, refined, and all are very brisk indeed.
Like the S-Class saloon range, Mercedes kept things simple with the Coupe, only tweaking the range a couple of times. The models below represent a selection from the last few years of production, with Mercedes dropping AMG Line in favour of Grand Edition trim towards the end, and adding a Premium trim to the S 63.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe’s boot space is:
This is a pretty easy one: high list prices mean all S-Class Coupes built since April 2017 comfortably exceed the government’s £40,000 threshold that results in a higher VED rate. This means in years two to six, tax will cost you £570 a year, dropping to a lower rate from year seven onwards. Still, VED rates for pre-April 2017 vehicles aren’t any cheaper thanks to high CO2 emissions.
As mentioned further up, almost all S-Class Coupe running costs will be fairly high, and insurance is no exception. All versions attract a group 50 insurance rate, and there are only 50 groups to start with. That said, you can still expect AMG models to cost more than others.
