Mercedes-Benz to launch the S400 on 29th March

The Mercedes S-Class is an icon and the preferred vehicle of choice of people in power. This luxurious yacht is currently sold in two guises in the country, the S500 petrol and the S350 CDI not counting the Guard cars. Now, the German carmaker is all set to launch another smaller petrol variant of its flagship luxury sedan. The variant will be known as the S400 but unlike a lot of markets over the world this will not be a hybrid. 

The S400 will be powered by a smaller 3.0-litre V6 engine which would probably come with forced induction for producing more power. The power figures are expected to stand at about 330PS of max power and 480Nm of peak torque. The engine will be mated to the same 7-speed GTronic transmission that also does duty on the S500. It should be the perfect car for people who want a petrol S-Class but find the V8 a bit excessive. 

There should however be no difference in the cabin of the car. It will still offer the same level of luxury with a leather wrapped cabin complete with Merc’s COMAND infotainment system and the digital instrument cluster. And as all S-Class cars, the king of the car is the rear passenger where most of the luxuries and space is focused. The reclining seats however will most likely be optional extras. Expect the car to be priced around 1.1-1.3crore
