This is a story of tech and engines, because as you can quite clearly see, the overhauled Mercedes S-Class looks almost exactly like the car it replaces. Revealed at this week"s Shanghai motor show, ahead of its market launch this July, the new S-Class gets all the latest Mercedes autonomous driving tech. Most of which debuted on the E-Class last year.New to the S-Class is Distronic Active Proximity Control, which when set uses GPS data to slow it down for roundabouts, junctions, corners, toll booths and so on. We"ve already had a demo of all the new features, which also include autonomous parking, and you can read all about them by clicking on these words. Finished? Good, because there are some new engines to talk about too. A 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder diesel replaces the existing V6. In the S350d it produces 282bhp and 443lb ft (a 27bhp increase and 14lb ft decrease), and in the S400d you get 335bhp and 516lb ft. That"s the most powerful diesel Mercedes ever, and isn"t yet confirmed for the UK.
