Mercedes Benz S400 launched at Rs 1.31 cr

Expanding its global portfolio in India and keeping up with their promise of launching 12 new cars in 2016, Mercedes-Benz has launched a new petrol variant of the S-Class called the S400 at Rs 1.31 Cr(ex-showroom Hyderabad) 

The S400 is powered by a 3.0-litre petrol V6 engine which produces 333 bhp of power and 480 Nm of torque. It is more efficient than the S500 which comes with a 4.7-litre V8 petrol unit and uses the same 7-speed GTronic transmission as seen in the S500. Internationally, the S400 has a hybrid version as well but Mercedes has not launched the same in India as of now.

On the inside, you still get the same creature comforts that all S-Class cars are known for. Napa leather wrapped cabin, a high-resolution 31.2-cm TFT display with Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system, reclining seats with massage function and loads of other luxury features ensure that you are sitting in the lap of luxury whether you are driving or being chauffeured around.

Roland Folger, MD and CEO , Mercedes Benz India said," Mercedes-Benz believes in introducing the latest products and variants in the market at regular intervals, to keep customer interest and curiosity intact in the brand.

With the launch of the S400, we further extend the S-Class model range and also bolster our strong presence in the prestigious S-class segment. The S400 symbolizes benchmark craftsmanship, affluence and grandeur. No other car stands for the Mercedes-Benz brand promise more than the S-Class".
