Mercedes-Benz S400 launched at Rs 1.31 crore

NEW DELHI: Mercedes-Benz followed their 15 in '15 strategy last year by launching 15 new models in India. The German car manufacturer is equally upbeat about 2016 and have promised 12 new cars to - one for each month. Following the launch of the GLE 450 AMG Coupe and the E-Class Edition E, Mercedes-Benz has launched another variant of its flagship sedan, the S-Class. The Mercedes-Benz S400 has been launched at Rs 1.31 crore ex-showroom Delhi.

Currently, the Stuttgart based car maker sells its S-Class luxury sedan in four variants - S500, S350, the VR9 certified S-Guard and the more recently launched VR10 certified Maybach S600 Guard.

The S400 though is for those who don't want a diesel nor the immoderate S500 with the massive V8.

Under the hood, the S400 houses a 3.0-litre V6 unit that is good for 333PS and 480Nm. All of this power is sent to the rear wheels via the same 7-speed GTronic transmission that also does duty on the S500.

Needless to say, this one too has the space and the luxury focused for the passengers at the back. The S400 goes up against the other two German super luxury sedans, the BMW 7-series and the Audi A8L.
