Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Essentially a mid-life facelift, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class has undergone significant style changes but under the hood lays a gargantuan overhaul.
The facade is still distinctly S-Class but changes have been made to the headlamps, grille and bumper. Mercedes has now introduced a tri-LED DRL setup on the new headlamps as opposed to the single strip on the previous model. The company claims that the main beam is capable of throwing light over 650 metres. It also features Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, which enables the main beam to be left on at all times without dazzling others on the road, and uses 84 individually controllable LEDs to light up the way precisely where required. The headlamp cluster looks more suave and modish than before. A larger and sportier front grille also adds a touch of panache to the face of this new S-Class and the reworked bumper with larger air intakes just goes further to add to its flair. One can easily notice a large black panel in the centre of the grille that serves as a housing unit for the ADAS (advance driving aid sensor).
The rear has been enhanced with a new design in the tail lamp cluster, which also features an elegant crystal finish. The jewel like glow from the tail lamps is sure to bedazzle onlookers and rounds off the luxurious allure of the car. The rear bumper has also been redesigned and a chrome strip running seamlessly between the twin exhausts adds a voguish touch to the saloon. The side profile is still the same but a new set of 18 inch, 5 twin-spoke alloys with high sheen finish give the car a jauntier look.
