Absolutely, yes! Owners can post reviews on Kelley Blue Book. Many of them showcase their reliability! Some of the highest-rated new Mercedes-Benz models are listed here:

• The 2023 S-Class, with 4.7 out of 5 stars, gets good reviews on KBB. One reviewer said, “This 2022 S Class replaced my 2017 S Class. I am overwhelmed by the improvement between the two cars. Everything is better. The ride quality, the materials, the overall feel of quality, the audio system, the interior silence, and even the fuel consumption. My car is highly optioned, but the base car is also an excellent choice. Once you own an S Class, the only other car you buy is another S Class. This car is truly exceptional.”
