Mercedes Benz recently launched their S Class Sedan in India on June 17. The Mercedes S Class series has always been a top product, which is why the new S Class Sedan has been in the news much before its release. It was even voted the 2021 World Luxury Car of the Year.

With a few new tweaks, the new S Class Sedan has a more luxurious look and feel. The bonnet is longer than its predecessor. The LED headlamps come with new digital light technology. The highlight of the model, however, is the LED taillight design, which is horizontally positioned, a first for the luxury sedan.
