Remarkably, this new fabric option is not presented as a more economical choice. On the contrary, customers have to pay extra if they choose to do so.
According to Carscoops opting for fabric seats requires purchasing the “Electrically Adjustable Rear Seats with Memory Function” package, which adds €1,856.40 (approximately US$2,200) to the total price of the car.
Buyers who prefer authentic materials are not left out, as all-black genuine leather is available at no extra cost.
The prices of the updated S-Class have not yet been announced. Considering the previous model has a starting price of US$119,500, it is likely that the updated version will be slightly more expensive.
