Mercedes-Benz S-Class launched at a more affordable ₹1.57 crore
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class will now be locally assembled which means its price point sits well below the S-Class Launch Edition which had been driven in in June.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class will now also be locally assembled and the German automaker on Thursday drove in the flagship ‘Made-in-India’ sedan at a more affordable ₹1.57 crore (ex showroom). The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Launch Edition had been launched via the import route in June of this year at ₹2.17 crore. At the time, just 150 units had been brought in but with local assembly, the company expects a wider demand base.
Mercedes-Benz has launched 11 new products in India this calendar year. The 2021 S-Class has, quite obviously, had a place of prominence. The latest S-Class has been referred to by many across the world as the best car anywhere at present. While the jury is still out on that, the 2021 S-Class does get a mile-long list of updates to its exterior styling, cabin comfort, features and drive capabilities.
