As we’re approaching the launch event for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, is due to be officially unveiled next Wednesday evening in Germany. But today a new promotional brochure has surfaced online.

We have already discussed the exterior design of the new S-Class in detail, but the German-language brochure scans provide a clearer look at the new S-Class’ more chiseled.

Inside, it boasts a retro-modern look with two large TFT screens and infotainment system to a sophisticated climate control system with active perfuming and filtering of the air while the classic round air vents and the big steering wheel which is inspired by the older models.

It has already been confirmed that the new S-class will be codenamed W222 and it confirms the model will be offered with at least three different engines.

From what the scans reveal, the S-Class’ launch engine range for the European market will include S350 fitted with a 3.0-liter V6 turbo-diesel rated for 255hp (258PS), a hybrid powertrain consisting of an electric motor and a 306 hp 3.5-liter V6 (S400 Hybrid) and the S500 will reward buyers with a 4.7-liter turbocharged gasoline V8 with 449hp (455PS).

By the end of this year, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will be the second-oldest nameplate in its segment here in the States, complete with a new face, even more safety features, and a brand-new four-cylinder diesel base engine.

The new Sprinter continues to set standards, boasting five new safety systems, engines that meet the future Euro VI emissions standard, and a striking appearance. The Sprinter's standard engine is a diesel-powered 2.1-liter 4-cylinder, which delivers 161-hp and 265 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,400 to 2,400 rpm.

Although the European fuel economy test is and the Sprinter is officially exempt from EPA testing by virtue of its over-8600 GVWR, Mercedes-Benz claims an eye-popping fuel economy rating of 37.34 mpg.

The new Sprinter’s appearance has also been substantially enhanced and made more striking. In line with Mercedes-Benz’ current design, the van’s radiator grille is now more vertical and confident. The grille’s three slats are perforated and wedge-shaped. Not only does this change create a more dynamic impression, it also increases the airflow. In addition, a frame surrounds the brand’s distinctive radiator grille, making it more prominent.

Another change involves the headlights, which are now more angular. The covers on the reflector housings are particularly striking, dividing the headlights into separate segments. The new hood is higher and the more distinctly shaped bumpers have finely worked lower edges similar to those found on SUVs. The new Sprinter is immediately recognizable from the rear, due to its double-segmented taillights.

The widely acknowledged exemplary interior has also been further enhanced. Comfort has been boosted by the new upholstery and seat coverings, the thicker steering wheel makes gripping easier, and the fresh air nozzles boast chrome applications if the customer opts for a multifunctional steering wheel. The knob of the gearshift lever has been redesigned as well.

The Sprinter is also fitted with a new-generation radio system that equips the van not only with state-of-the-art electronic entertainment features and Bluetooth telephone equipment (including a telephone keypad and phonebook), but also the Becker MAP PILOT navigation system.

New safety systems in this sector will include Crosswind Assist as standard, while Collision Prevention Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Highbeam Assist and Lane Keeping Assist will be optional.

The 2014 Sprinter will go on-sale in the U.S. later this fall.
