The 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 is
an all-new luxury sedan
presenting the best the iconic
German car manufacturer has to
offer. Like previous generations
of the S-Class line, the S550
coddles driver and passengers
alike in luxurious surroundings,
while taking electronic control
over interior systems and
driving aids to a new level. The
extensive list of technological
features starts with an infrared
night-vision-assist system,
which neatly combines a high wow
factor with real safety
benefits. Distronic radar-based
cruise control and brake assist
also incorporate safety and
convenience by automatically
maintaining distance from
vehicles up ahead. Features
include full stops and starts in
traffic, as well as preparation
for heavy braking when cars in
the S550's path are slowing
rapidly.
