Mercedes Benz, a synonym for luxury, launched its luxury flagship in India in 1996. Mercedes-Benz, a division of Daimler-Chrysler, has seen consistent rise in its car sales in India. The Mercedes S-Class has always been referred to as the most luxurious and most spacious vehicle in the Mercedes Benz line-up. The "S-class" is an abbreviation for the German word "Sonderklasse" which means "special class" or a specially outfitted car.
In March 2003, the new S-Class, S 350 L, was launched in the Indian market in a petrol version. Currently, the S-Class comes in five variants: S 350 and S 320 CDI, S 500 L, AMG S 63, AMG S 65. The new S-Class sedan reflects the Mercedes tradition of modest grace that is universally gorgeous, and instills excitement into its overall design theme. The S-Class has always been the choice of kings, statesmen, and business tycoons. The new S-Class continues the tradition of resetting the luxury and safety benchmark for this segment. AMG tuning satisfies the passion of performance crazy drivers.

The S 350 variant comes with a powerful 3.5L V-6 petrol engine that produces 272 bhp and forks out 350 Nm of torque. The S 320 CDI variant has a smaller 3.0L V-6 engine that generates 210 bhp and 490 Nm of torque. Both variants come standard with a '7G-TRONIC,' 7-speed automatic transmission, which is unique globally. In addition, 'DIRECT SELECT,' an attractively styled steering-column selector lever is provided, which can be gently pressed to operate the 7G-TRONIC. The S 500 L is propelled by a 5.5L V8 engine which is paired with a 7-speed automatic gearbox. The engine can churn out a power output of 388 bhp and a torque of 505 Nm.

The S-Class returns 6 km/l in the city and it renders 9 km/l on the highway. The AMG gives better awe inspiring performance. This sedan adopts the Mercedes-Benz brake assist system, which gives audio and visual warnings if the S-Class trains a vehicle in front that is too close. If the warning is ignored, the car will automatically engage the brakes to slow down or simply bring itself to a stop. The AMG Tuners offer active body control suspension with special AMG spring struts with firmer damping. The S-Class keeps cabin noise to a minimum, even when revved hard beyond 120 km/h. The S 500 L and the AMG tuned S-Class can achieve a top speed of 250km/h. Its active body control prevents roll-over and improves handling during hard cornering.
