CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Summary
With 68 currently listed for sale and an average price of $66,010 CAD, 30.9% of 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4.9 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class stands out as a deeply luxurious large sedan that blends advanced technology with a calm, refined driving experience. In the W222 generation, Mercedes gave it a new aluminium hybrid body shell that cut weight and improved rigidity, while the car’s design and engineering helped make it even more serene. It also brought features such as “magic body control,” which uses road scanning to adapt the suspension, along with a surround-view camera system that integrates radar and ultrasonic sensors for smoother adaptive cruise control and lane centring. The interior is equally distinctive, with rich wood and metal accents, selectable ambient lighting, and a dual 12.3-inch screen layout that still looks contemporary.
For 2017 specifically, the W222 received a facelift and tech update, which helps explain why this model year feels especially well equipped. Many of the best features were optional, but most versions were still generously appointed, and the car could be had with luxury touches such as rear executive seating packages, active parking assist, massaging seats, Burmester surround-sound audio, and air purifiers. It also carried the S-Class reputation for debuting useful technology, and the generation’s reliability record is described as very good overall, even if maintenance remains expensive and suspension or electrical issues can still arise. That combination of prestige, comfort, and advanced equipment is what makes the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class so appealing.
There are, however, a few realities to keep in mind. The S-Class is expensive to buy and costly to maintain, and the source notes that upkeep can be steep even when reliability is strong. It is also a large car, which can make it harder to manoeuvre than smaller luxury sedans. Still, for buyers who want a flagship Mercedes with a richly finished cabin, strong performance, and a long list of high-end features, the 2017 S-Class remains a compelling choice.

The car and its value are outstanding. In my opinion, you can't compare this car to others; it's in a class all by itself.

The car has every option I was looking for even the omission of HUD. I think at its original price point it is a great value. The car has a color that I have yet to figure out but other than that Im totally satisfied with my purchase. I had a Porsche Panamera 4S but Im getting older and more mature plus everyone should own an S Class once in life.

Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class a good car?
Yes — the 4.9/5 user rating points to very strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its elegant design, driving experience, performance, safety, and comfort, and many describe it as luxurious and dependable. For you, that makes it especially appealing if you want a deeply refined large sedan with a calm, high-end feel and a strong reputation for comfort. With 32.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop carefully.
Is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class reliable?
Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also highlights it as a dependable choice, with praise for its smooth handling and overall confidence-inspiring character. That said, the S-Class is still a complex luxury car, so long-term ownership risk for used buyers is tied more to maintenance costs and the possibility of expensive repairs than to day-to-day satisfaction.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 64 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $64,248 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class's resale value?
The current average of $66,036 CAD sits slightly below last year's $66,560 CAD.
That small decline suggests the market has been fairly stable rather than sharply weakening, which is helpful if you plan to resell later. For a future seller, steady pricing can mean less downside risk, especially when the model continues to attract shoppers looking for a flagship luxury sedan. Strong owner satisfaction can also help keep demand healthy over time.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2017 is the better pick if you want a well-equipped, highly rated S-Class with stable pricing and enough inventory to compare examples. If you are more price-sensitive, you may want to keep an eye on nearby model years and focus on the best-maintained car rather than the newest badge alone.
