S 450e Launch Edition Price and Specs, Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The S 450e Launch Edition is the introductory version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the brand's flagship luxury sedan. It uses a 3.0 litre inline-six turbo petrol plug-in hybrid that makes 435 PS and 680 Nm. At ₹220 lakh it is the lower-priced of the two S 450e trims currently listed.

The plug-in hybrid setup gives a claimed 32.3 kmpl, so short daily trips can lean on the battery. The inline-six carries the load on longer drives, and it seats five in the way an S-Class should. The data here does not list the cabin equipment, so confirm the exact features through the on-road price enquiry.

This trim suits a buyer who wants the S-Class badge and the efficient plug-in hybrid at the lower entry price. The strong economy figure makes it easy to run in the city on the battery. If you want the sportier styling package, step up to the S 450e AMG Line, which costs ₹18 lakh more for the same engine.
