Mercedes-Benz S-Class Road Trip Accessories
Mercedes-Benz’s S-Class is a car that is lavishly equipped in standard form, and it also comes with a lengthy options list. In the case of adding accessories to the S-Class, we decided to go for some road-trip-specific items available from Mercedes dealerships.
Many people rate the Mercedes-Benz S-Class as one of the finest cars in the world, regardless of cost. In the case of sedans, the massively accomplished S-Class takes some beating, and this has been the case for the past half-century!
What about adding accessories to an S-Class?
The S-Cass is one of those premium luxury class machines that comes with a mind-boggling list of equipment in standard form. And by ticking many of the options boxes on the specifications list, you can add a vast number of features to make this great car even better!
It is for this reason that when we complied our list of accessories we would choose for an S-Class, we opted for items that are not permanent fixtures on the car. Mercedes-Benz offers a wide range of accessories for its models through its dealerships, and in compiling our Top 6 list of extras, we focussed on removable items that would make a road trip even more pleasurable.
Top 6 accessories for an S-Class road trip
1. Tyre gauge
One of the most important safety items on a car is the set of tyres making contact with the road surface. In the case of suh a vauluable and competent car as S-Class, it makes absolute sense to ensure the tyres are always properly inflated. Mercedes offers this handy gauge which comes with a durable pouch, and enables you to ensure your tyre pressures are 100 % at your next service station stop.
2. Tablet protective case
This elegant safety case formed in durable silicone provides your i-Pad or similar device with effective protection from knocks or scratches and secures it even more firmly in the holder. The supplied matt display film prevents scratches while also avoiding unwanted light reflections on the screen.
3. Collapsible shopping crate
This is a handy item for short trips to the supermarket or for long distance hauls. It’s ideal for containing those odds and ends that otherwise might roll around in the boot. Its unique design enables it to be folded away for easy compact storage.
4. Luggage securing strips
These handy strips made from a durable composite material come with a Mercedes-Benz logo, and are used for preventing luggage from shifting on the floor of the boot. Velcro fixed to their undersides bonds with the boot carpet and they are placed next to heavy suitcases and the like, to prevent them from shifting sideways, or fore and aft.

It not only cools, but can be used as a warmer too. Robustly constricted in hard-case form, it comes with a durable cover which also has outside pockets and a shoulder strap.
