Mercedes-Benz hasn’t indicated whether it’s working on a stretched version of its latest S-Class to carry on the tradition of the Pullman limousine, but a company by the name of Binz will soon be ready to supply another Mercedes stretch limousine based on the E-Class.
Germany’s Binz has been modifying Mercedes sedans since the 1960s, and in addition to its limousine conversions, the company also builds hearses and ambulances. A number of North American companies offer similar conversions, including Canada’s Inkas, which can build a stretched G-Class, among other vehicles.
Unlike traditional limousines that tend to stick to having a pair of doors at the front and rear—like Mercedes’ last S-Class Pullman—Binz’s design features six doors, making access to the middle compartment easier. Various seating configurations can be ordered, with the maximum being an eight-seat layout consisting of two individual front seats, followed by three-seat benches in the second and third rows.
Buyers can typically choose from standard or comfort seats, a multi-zone climate control system, and entertainment and connectivity packages. Imagine a minibar for limousines destined for party services.

The exterior design adds almost 45 inches of length where the B-pillar normally sits, and to fill the gap is a specially fabricated set of middle-row doors. The prototype features a makeshift design, but the final version will be more polished and should appear seamless.
Binz’s latest E-Class stretch limousine is expected to debut in 2026.
Mercedes itself offers a stretched E-Class, albeit exclusively in China. However, this version only boasts an extra five inches in the wheelbase, with most of the extra space benefiting rear-seat passengers.
