Its ex-showroom price starts from \u20b9 2.20 crore (Launch Edition) to \u20b9 2.38 crore (Manufacturing Edition). This is a long wheelbase version, which has been introduced keeping in mind the preferences of Indian buyers. This launch is part of the 2026 facelift of the S-Class, which includes more than 2,700 new or updated components.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes has set a new standard of eco-friendly luxury by introducing PHEV technology in a full-flag sedan in India for the first time. The combination of a pure electric range of up to 115 km for urban commutes and a powerful petrol engine for long drives makes it perfect. Bookings have started and deliveries are expected to start around Diwali 2026. This model will compete with competitors like BMW 7 Series. Let&#8217;s take a look at its design, engine and performance details.<\/p>\n<h2>Design and interior<\/h2>\n<p>The design of the new S-Class PHEV is evolutionary yet impressive. The front has a 20% larger radiator grille, which has three-pointed star inserts and an optional illuminated frame. The Digital Light LED headlamps feature Micro-LED technology, providing 40% more illumination and a high-beam range of up to 600 metres. Star-themed DRLs give it a unique look. The side profile features new alloy wheel design and manufacturer paint options. At the rear, the slimmer taillamps come with three-pointed star LED motifs and animated lighting. Overall, it strengthens its presence on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The interior is the new benchmark of luxury. The MBUX SuperScreen setup includes a 12.3-inch driver display, 14.4-inch central OLED touchscreen and 12.3-inch passenger display. The latest MB.OS software comes with AI-powered &#8216;Hey Mercedes&#8217; virtual assistant, natural dialogue, Google Maps navigation and AR head-up display. The rear seats are available with two 13.1-inch entertainment screens, ventilation, heating, massage function and executive seats (43.5 degrees recline). Enhanced sound insulation, extended ambient lighting and Burmester 4D sound system make the cabin quiet and premium. There is facial recognition and video calling support in place of fingerprint scanner.<\/p>\n<h3>Features and safety<\/h3>\n<p>The new S-Class is packed with the latest technology. Four-zone climate control, wireless charging, connected car functions and OTA updates are included. There is gaming, streaming and video conferencing support for rear passengers. Airmatic air suspension is standard, along with 4.5 degrees (optional 10 degrees) rear-axle steering that significantly reduces the turning circle. The E-Active Body Control suspension adjusts itself to the road conditions. Car-to-X technology gives advance information about speed breakers etc.<\/p>\n<p>For safety, it has been provided with 15 airbags (including rear seatbelt airbags). Level 2+ ADAS includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping, blind spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera. Pre-Safe Impulse and Enhanced Adaptive Restraint System provide enhanced safety. It easily meets the global NCAP 5-star standard.<\/p>\n<h3>Engine and Performance<\/h3>\n<p>The S 450e comes with a 3.0-litre M256 Evo turbo petrol engine (326 hp, 540 Nm) paired with a 120 kW (163 hp) electric motor and a 22 kWh battery. System output is 435 hp and 680 Nm.
