A spacious ride that offers comfort and luxury inside, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class definitely deserves a second glance from critics. What’s more, it has potent engines to boost the trip, making it fun and enjoyable, while giving that kind of excitement a passenger is looking for.
When it comes to the 2022 Acura NSX, it also promises to have a muscular powertrain. Add to that, there are comfy seats awaiting its passengers.
Design & Style
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class knows how to provide car buyers with the luxury and comfort that they are looking for. The meticulously-built cabin comes dressed with leather, real wood, and aluminum. Adding to this elegant list of materials are soft-touch interior plastics that has the right fit and finish. The cargo area provides enough room for your weekend belongings, plus there is a hands-free power trunk lid coming in as standard. Sitting up to five passengers for the sedan, and four for the Maybach models, there is enough space to move around inside.
When you take a look at the NSX, you will love that it has used upholstered materials and soft surfaces in the cabin. The effort is not as much appreciated because hard plastics can be seen almost everywhere. Trunk space only measures at 4.4 cubic feet too, which is really very small even if it is a luxury sports car that sits two.
Technology & Safety
Using the MBUX infotainment system, the 2022 S-Class uses a straightforward configuration and has a 12.8-inch touch screen display. It is also fitted with 15 speakers, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, gesture control, and wireless device charging, among others. It is also blessed to have a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Safety wise, you get loads with the inclusion of features like lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward automatic emergency braking, rear cross traffic alert, and blind spot monitoring, among others.
Gifted with a seven-inch touch screen that is quite dated in terms of overall look, you will notice the dullness in the NSX technology. This is not even intuitive at all, plus you need some time getting used to the seemingly hard-to-use touch-sensitive interface. It has two USB ports, nine speakers, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Bluetooth®. Safety equipment are not as good those seen in the S-Class since it only offers a rearview camera, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic high-beam headlights with no option to upgrade to enjoy more.
Performance
There are three engine options to choose from if you want to own the S-Class. It starts with the base engine that generates up to 429 horsepower. Coming in next is a twin-turbo V8 version that can hook up to 580 horsepower. Completing the pack is one with the twin-turbo V12 to release 621 horsepower. In the case of the NSX, it uses three electric motors combined with its V6 configuration just to produce 600 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
All important aspects considered, there is no question that the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class leads this comparison. It is far better than the 2022 Acura NSX.
