The latest S-Class introduces an intelligent suspension system that uses cameras and sensors to build a 360-degree picture of the car’s surroundings and responds accordingly.

The S-Class can be rented using the new Sixt app, which offers users a range of features including the ability to find a Sixt branch nearby using GPS technology and select from the models available. By booking via the app the customer has the same advantages as on the internet or the rental branch where they can choose between all available vehicles.

Ian Feast, group managing director operations, said: ‘The Heathrow branch offers a full range of vehicles to suit both personal and business needs, from economy and family cars to convertibles. The addition of the S-Class Mercedes now gives our loyal business customers another premium option that they only get with us. We are proud not only by the scale and breadth of the fleet but the customer service and convenience that we offer at Sixt Heathrow.’
