Superior S-class is Professional Driver's Chauffeur Car of the Year 2012

The award-winning Mercedes-Benz S-class adds yet another accolade to its name – Professional Driver's Chauffeur Car of the Year 2012.

"The S-class received consistent scoring from all the judges who tested it, and it's a testament to its quality that a car toward the end
of its product lifecycle can still outscore some newer rivals to win our Chauffeur Car of the Year category for 2012," said Mark Bursa, Editor of Professional Driver and Chairman of the judging panel.

"Good customer support has also played a major part. Mercedes-Benz made major improvements to its chauffeur programme this year, with the S-class now matching its competitors pound-for-pound, so it boils down to taste. And the three-pointed star still carries a lot of kudos in the chauffeur industry," he continued.

The S 350 BlueTEC L is equipped with one of the world's cleanest diesel engines, returning 41.5 mpg and 177 g/km of CO2 on the combined cycle.

Nick Andrews, Head of Fleet at Mercedes-Benz UK, said, "We are honoured to receive this award. The S-class has always been the industry trailblazer when it comes to safety, comfort and driver assistance technologies, and this award cements its reputation."

With its generous equipment levels, class-leading comfort and peerless safety standards, the S 350 BlueTEC L is priced at £64,610 on the road.
