Introduced in 1999 for model year 2000, the new S-Class from Mercedes-Benz was internally designated W220 and set a new standard for the companys elite model lineup. In company tradition, the W220 line was under development since the early 1990s and developed to virtual perfection some 29 months before their scheduled release date. While somewhat smaller in overall proportions than its W140 predecessor, the new S-Class delivered a roomier interior came in several specific models, based around several available engine choices. The new S-Class was an immediate success worldwide, especially in the United States, with sales second only to those in Germany.

The W220 S-Class was produced through 2005 and ushered in a host of advanced new technologies that raised the bar for comfort and convenience, including Active Ventilated Seats and keyless entry and ignition, and the Speedtronic adjustable speed limiter. Optional Keyless Go provided smart key entry and engine starting, automatic light sensors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and Parktronic parking assistance, and Distronic radar-operated cruise control (a world first) delivered the ultimate in safety and convenience. Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Brake Assist, standard front and rear side curtain airbags, and LED brake lights were other advanced S-Class safety features that set a new standard for automobile manufacturers.
