Mercedes S-Class Wins The 2021 World Luxury Car Award

S-Class beats Rolls Royce and Bentley for this prestigious award.

When it comes to delivering pure luxury motoring, Rolls Royce has always maintained their position of being simply the best and without any question far forward from even the 2nd place luxury automotive brand, Bentley. Both British brands are today part of German automotive groups and are still being built completely in England.

But it looks like a distance 3rd place luxury automotive brand has reached their doorstep and taken the top spot above both Bentley and Rolls Royce after a jury of 93 motoring journalist from 28 different countries voted the all new Mercedes-Benz S-Class with this prestigious award.

Well, for Bentley, the brand marketers at the parent company Volkswagen Group will be scrambling to figure out why they did not take the top spot, but with Rolls Royce, their brand marketers will be ‘putting the kettle on’ for a cup of tea and that’s that. Rolls Royce will continue to sell as they have positioned themselves to be in a segment by themselves.
