The plug-in hybrid S 450e variant that will be offered here comes with a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol inline-six engine mated to an electric motor powered by a 22kWh battery. It is the first PHEV S-Class in India, with an output of 435hp and 680Nm and a claimed 0-100kph time of 5.7 seconds. The S-Class is expected to get a petrol powertrain at a later date, but it is unclear whether the manufacturer will continue a diesel option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The grille is 20 percent larger, adorned with tiny chrome stars and an illuminated frame. The headlights are larger, too, featuring tristar daytime running lamps (DRLs), while the tail-lights are slimmer with tristar LED motifs. Inside, the S-Class\u2019s dashboard has an MBUX Superscreen setup with the latest MB.OS operating system. It is now a software-defined vehicle (SDV) with over-the-air (OTA) updates and has fewer physical buttons, yet Mercedes offers a scroll wheel and a toggle switch on the steering wheel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes-Benz&nbsp;has confirmed that it will launch the&nbsp;S-Class facelift&nbsp;in India on June 15, 2026.
