The New Mercedes S-Class Zooms In To Town

Mercedes is out to become the undisputed numero uno luxury car brand in India. They have kick-started the year with the launch of their top-of-the-line sedan, the S-Class. The German manufacturer has brought the powerful beauty to India at a price of Rs 1.575 crores.

We would not be wrong if we say Mercedes has thrown everything, including the kitchen sink, in this car. For the price, owners get best of luxuries inside the cabin including Burnmester 3D surround sound music system with 24 speakers, 7 colour mood lighting system with dimmer and a message function with six different programs.

This car is built to spoil you silly. Clearly the car is meant to be chauffer driven. Mercedes is offering a chauffer training program with the car that will familiarise the drivers of S-Class with the car functions.

As far as the under the hood performance is concerned, the S-Class has the best. It boasts of a 4.6 litre V8 engine and 7 speed automatic transmission. It can accelerate from 0-100 in 4.8 seconds and has a top speed of 250KMPH.

The company has already sold 125 units of this car before the launch in India and now have opened regular bookings. The current set of bookings will get delivery in April 2014.

With Auto-Expo right around the corner, Mercedes has just given a glimpse of what is going to come at the popular Indian auto show.
