The Mercedes-Benz W222 is the sixth generation of the S-Class produced from 2013 to 2020, the successor of the W221 S-Class and the predecessor of the W223 S-Class. The W222 was designed in 2009. The original design proposal of the car was created by Il-hun Yoon, a Korean designer, who was inspired by the Mercedes-Benz F700 concept car.[6] The exterior design was developed by a team of designers under the direction of Robert Lešnik.[7] The W222 has a similar design theme to the C-Class (W205) and E-Class (W213).
In Europe, sales of the S400 Hybrid, S350 BlueTEC, S 350 BlueTEC Hybrid, and S500 began in September 2013. United States sales of the S550 also began in September, and the 4Matic four-wheel drive model went on sale in November 2013. Additional models, including V12 models and those from AMG were released in 2014.[5][8]
