How it scores for you10 scores
Genuine flagship-limo comfort at a fraction of German money used - the badge, thirst, and orphaned dealer support explain the discount.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; its only recall was serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted +3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $4,500 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 2% of cars we track.
16.7 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 86% of other sedans we track.
Long-wheelbase-class rear legroom and wide seating plus a 16.7 cu ft trunk.
A soft-sprung 4,600-lb limo; the V8 is effortless but the chassis wants no part of enthusiasm.
Loaded in-period (rear-seat screens, air suspension) though interfaces and driver aids lag modern flagships badly.
Genuine flagship isolation, plush thrones, and available reclining rear seats - comfort was the entire mission.
Typical resale value for a sedan.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
