Mercedes’ S-Class: Sleek treat
The Hindu
Want to arrive in style? This latest S Class is as brilliant to be driven in as it is to drive
The S-Class has long been the default choice of luxury limousine for the rich and famous. Since it first arrived on our shores in the 2000s, Mercedes’ flagship sedan has gone home to over 8,000 owners. And now, there is a new seventh-gen model to carry forward the charge. This new, limousine has been made available initially as a CBU and is loaded to the gills with even more tech than its predecessor. So, does it deliver on the luxury like we expect an S-Class to? As before, it is the long-wheelbase version that has come to India, and at 5.3m long and nearly 2m wide, it is a sizeable sedan, to say the least. The latest one is every bit as regal as you would expect an S to be and commands respect like few other sedans can. Adding in a tinge of sportiness to the look is the AMG Line styling pack, which includes stylised bumpers and larger 20-inch rims.
