After having been launched in all major countries in almost all major countries all over the world the latest incarnation of the flagship sedan in the Mercedes-Benz range has finally arrived in India as well.
Starting from Rs 1.57 crore, the only version available at the start of sales will be the V8-powered Mercedes-Benz S 500, with other versions to follow during the course of 2014.

“We are launching the all new S-Class in India just three months after its global launch in October last year, following up on eight new products we launched in 2013 here,” Mercedes-Benz India Managing Director and CEO Eberhard Kern told reporters from the Economic Times.

Initially, the new S-Class will be imported fully built from Sindelfingen, Germany, but from April 2014 it will also be assembled locally, with different specifications and pricing.

Mercedes-Benz India has already sold out the 125 units that were allocated to the country, but obviously more models will be arriving soon.
