The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been given a facelift and a new BS-VI ready diesel engine. Mercedes-Benz claims this is their most powerful diesel engine ever but is also very efficient. How does the S-Class facelift compare to the top-of-the-line BMW 7 Series diesel? Let the battle of the luxo-barges begin!
Looks like tens of millions of rupees?

It’s all down to your taste
Go for the 7 Series, the S-Class is just not as well rounded a package. Sure, it may look more stately inside-out, but it’s thoroughly beaten in all aspects of owning a super luxurious barge by the Bimmer. The BMW 7 Series will get more eyeballs and has more gadgets that you could show off. It is fun to drive if you ever feel like it, without compromising on luxury even a bit.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class may look luxurious and in many ways feels it too, but the 7 Series does all that better.
