The all new 2010 S550. The exterior changes are essentially limited to a new front bumper and grille; an integrated exhaust at the rear; and the use of LEDs for the taillamps and daytime running lights and as accent lights in the headlamps. But the minor aesthetic changes hide more state-of-the-art tech underneath, as well as one unwelcome mechanical change.

That means adaptive high-beams, the addition of pedestrian detection for the night-view assist, a lane-keeping system, and the attention-assist system. Interior changes to the new S-class include a new steering wheel and ambient lighting that is now selectable to one of three hues instead of one. The 2010 model also gets updated Bluetooth functionality, an SD card reader in the dash, an iPod/media interface in the glove box, and HD radio.

It’s really splitting hairs, though, since the S-class in any incarnation is still one of the finest cars in the world. It’s ultra-luxurious, ultra-refined, and ultra-comfortable, and it doesn’t shy away from being hustled. The refreshed 2010 S-class is—as the S always has been—satisfying in a way other cars simply aren’t.
