This week, Mercedes gave an early look at the new interior for the 2014 Mercedes S-Class ahead of the New York Auto Show, and simply put, Mercedes is taking automotive luxury to the next level.

At first glance, the interior is gorgeous. The designers opted for a classic look rather than flashier choices that will quickly date the car. The cabin surfaces are wood, leather, and metal, and the heated steering wheel has a hand-stitched look. Beyond the look, however, Mercedes has done more to enhance the driving experience. Drivers will get to relax in traffic with a hot massage seat with heated armrests and six different massage programs, and the passengers can use the infotainment system for accessing Facebook and Yelp or searching for nearby landmarks on Google Street View.

Up front, they have made the display bigger and better, a 12.3-inch high-resolution screen, and passengers can keep track of their music playlist or watch a movie while also checking the GPS navigation. For longer drives, backseat passengers can also lean back further to get some sleep with a new design that reclines 37 degrees, 43.5 degrees for the rear passenger side.

With their new interior, it looks like the 2014 Mercedes S-Class is the luxury car to beat. I have rarely (if ever) looked at a car and thought it looked relaxing, but if I get the chance to get into the 2014 Mercedes S-Class, I doubt I will want to get out.

The 2014 Mercedes S-Class will be at the 2013 New York Auto Show March 29 thru April 7 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.
