Mercedes-Benz, renowned for its best-in-class S-Class vehicles, has outdone itself. The all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, launched in India, is clearly a class of its own in terms of luxury, intelligence, advanced driver’s assistance systems and craftsmanship. The S-Class is India’s first BS VI compliant ‘Made in India – for India’ model, this vehicle showcases features that a connoisseur will appreciate as attributes on a whole new trajectory.

All the components of relevance for efficient emissions reduction are installed directly on the engine. Although the output has increased noticeably compared to the preceding model, the new engine consumes up to six percent less fuel. The special traits of the top-of-the-line engine in the diesel family include the new stepped-bowl combustion chamber design, two-stage turbocharging and, for the first time, the use of CAMTRONIC variable valve-lift control. Its design features a combination of aluminium engine block and steel pistons as well as further improved Nanoslide® coating of the cylinder walls. While the engine has been readied to meet BS-VI emission norms that are due to be implemented only in 2020, the technological breakthrough achieved by the OM 656 in India is its ability to run on existing BS-IV fuel.
Adblue - technically termed as DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) – is another interesting feature of the automobile. Consisting of 32% urea mixed with deionized water, it is injected in the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) converter, for processing of gases and reducing harmful NOx emissions.
S 450 Petrol EngineThe S 450 petrol variant is also a class apart. It offers refinement, driving pleasure and responsibility with the V6 petrol engine with 270 kW (367 hp) embodied within it. Thanks to twin turbocharging and intercooling, the S 450 has huge reserves of power. The engine may give off its typical, unmistakably sonorous and cultivated sound, but fuel consumption stays unusually low.

In addition, the new 18-inch, 5-twin-spoke sporty-look light-alloy wheels make their debut in the new S-Class.
