It also comes with enhanced comfort options via the class-leading rear seat comfort package and high luxury, technology and entertainment system packages that enriches the passenger experience.

Folger stated, "the S-Class has had a phenomenal run here already?by launching the first ever 'made-in-India, for India' BS-VI car, we have set a benchmark among the industry to help mitigate the rising pollution levels."
