They went there empty-handed and left with a handful of awards. Mercedes-Benz got two trophies at this year’s Auto Express New Car Awards. The S-Class has been designated as the Best Luxury Car, while the E-Class business sedan was named the Best Executive Car. The GLC also did well in the competition.

There is no race that the S-Class can’t win. The luxury sedan was voted the Best Luxury Car for the third year in a row, thanks to the ‘cutting-edge tech’, ‘effortless comfort’ and ‘beautifully crafted cabin’ that the reigning “queen” integrates in its continuous pursuit of perfection. Bentley Mulsanne and Range Rover came second and third best.

“The S-Class remains the benchmark for all other luxury cars to aspire to. The combination of cutting-edge tech, effortless comfort and a beautifully crafted cabin makes it a deserving winner of our award for the third year in a row”, says Steve Fowler, Editor-in-Chief at Auto Express.
