Mercedes-Benz S Class

For decades, auto experts have called the S-Class the best car in the world, and that's because it doesn't copy from any of its rivals but sets new standards. The current model (W223) introduced augmented reality and took the screen system to the next level. In India, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is more popular than the regular model, which shows just how big a success it is here. The S-Class is available with both petrol and diesel engines, and only long-wheelbase models are sold in India.
