Executive luxury with protection built in.
The armored Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a natural choice for executives, government officials and private clients who want protection without drawing attention. As Mercedes-Benz’s flagship sedan, the S-Class is a familiar sight outside offices, hotels and embassies around the world, so a discreetly armored one blends in with the regular vehicles around it. Exec Armor builds the armored S-Class, including the S580, in-house at our facility in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, with protection levels ranging from handgun protection to high-power rifle protection. If you want extra rear-seat luxury, see the armored Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.
The S-Class suits armoring because it is built around the rear passenger. A long cabin, a quiet ride and air suspension give us a strong starting point for a vehicle that has to carry the added weight of ballistic steel and glass while staying comfortable. We reinforce the suspension and brakes for that weight, and the luxury features you expect are retained. Many clients use the car as a mobile office between meetings and are driven by a chauffeur or security driver. It is also one of the most discreet ways to travel: as with our other armored sedans, the protection sits out of sight. Choosing between this and an SUV?
