The automatic transmission makes stop-and-go traffic easy to manage. Turning radius of 5.2m is reasonable for urban maneuvers. Good ground clearance for everyday Indian road conditions.

Recent Owner Reviews
7 reviews"S-Class: The air suspension on some models has reliability concerns. Replacement costs are eye-watering."
"S-Class: Dealer markup on popular models is unjustified. Paying over MSRP for accessories you don't want is common practice."
"S-Class: Ride quality on 19-inch and larger wheels is harsh on Indian roads. The low-profile tyres amplify every imperfection."
"The mercedes-benz s-class excels in luxury with a smooth drive, Powerful pickup, Strong engine performances, And exceptional safety features, Offering unmatched comfort."
"I have 2011 s350 i complete 230k km and it was the best car ever i never have major problem only normal brake pads oil filters and that's it ,, i love it"
"Mercedes Benz S-Class was like a dream car for me. I had a drive on this car I felt an remarkable feeling. The exterior and interior both looks very premium. This car has a very powerful engine which is so silent on high speed. It comes with 5 star safety rating and the top speed is around 250 kmph. The pricing is so high for middle class buyers."
"Hello, buddies! I like my Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This car makes my Mumbai commute more luxurious. Refueling is less often with the S-Class due to its 80-liter petrol tank. It comfortably seats five people. A prominent grille and huge alloy wheels give the exterior a stylish look. The LED lights improve its appearance. The car's interior is fanciful. Leather seats are comfortable, and the large touchscreen makes music and navigation easy. Excellent air conditioning and a sunroof improve the experience. Every ride is enhanced by the great music system.I want to improve parking. The automobile is large, making Mumbai parking challenging. In overall, I love my S-Class and recommend it!"
