Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG S 65 makes for an excellent contender in the luxury fullsize sedan class. With a single trim on offer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG S 65 has a base MSRP of $232,550, competing directly with the Rolls-Royce Ghost sedan, the Bentley Flying Spur, and the BMW M760i. Only a 6.0L turbocharged V12 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds, the Mercedes-Benz AMG S 65 maintains a combined fuel economy of 16 MPG. Mercedes-Benz offers the AMG S 65 in 11 stunning colors, with the Anthracite Blue Metallic being our particular favorite.

Buying Advice

The 2019 Mercedes Benz AMG S 65 comes in one trim, and personally, that is more than enough, the stupendously refined V12 engine has various interior and exterior options to match your liking. The luxurious sedan has no shortage of packages, we took a certain liking to the AMG Exterior carbon fiber package ($5,300) which has a carbon fiber infused front air-dam splitter, side-sill and rear apron inserts, and side view mirror covers.
