It is a highly advanced, standard windshield wiper system. It utilizes laser-cut holes along the wiper blades to spray heated washer fluid directly in front of the sweeping blade, preventing visual obstruction.

Does the infotainment system include Apple CarPlay?

Yes. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard equipment, allowing you to seamlessly connect your smartphone to the 12.8-inch OLED central display without utilizing physical cables.

What is the 0 to 60 mph acceleration time for the AMG® variant?

3.0 seconds. The handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine and rear electric motor combine to produce 791 horsepower for track-level acceleration. You can verify official performance data on the official Mercedes-Benz USA specifications page.

Is all-wheel drive standard across the lineup?

Yes. The highly advanced 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system is standard equipment on every trim level, maximizing traction during heavy Texas rainstorms. For a comprehensive look at these features, review our Mercedes-Benz S-Class performance overview.
