the Indian market and a fantastic performance in 2013 has propelled the
firm to try out a few things in the coming future. According to reports,
the Stuttgart based firm has brought the S400 Hybrid in India, a model
set to be launched soon, for homologation. Sources claim that the German

According to reports, the positive
response rendered towards S-Class models has boosted Mercedes-Benz’s
resolve to further expand the portfolio, which is the reason why, after
launching S500 and S350 CDI, the S400 Hybrid is set to be introduced in
India. And that is not all as the Mercedes-Benz, rumours claim, has the
S500 Plug-in lined-up after this. The arrival of S400 Hybrid in India
for homologation makes its launch in the sub-continent imminent. Though
there are not many modification on the exteriors and interiors,
Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is among the top most economical hybrid sedans
with a spark engine in the world. This car features a V6 petrol engine
that is mated to an electric motor. A combined maximum output of 302 BHP
can be achieved after the coming together of petrol drivetrain and
electric motor. In addition, the maximum torque level of Mercedes-Benz
S400 Hybrid is 370 Nm.
The engine in
S400 Hybrid is conjoined to a 7G-TRONIC PLUS gearbox that is configured
for a hybrid module. This sedan is capable of rendering a mileage of
around 15.87 kmpl, which is excellent given its size and power levels.
As far as price is concerned, analysts and reports claim that the
Mercedes-Benz is likely to put the S400 Hybrid right between S350 CDI
and S500. The company aims to draw customers who are Mercedes-Benz
aficionados but want a car that is more frugal than the others.
Mercedes-Benz
has made a stunning comeback in the Indian market and it is hoping to
multiply its success in coming years. The last year was fantastic for
the three pointed star in India and its “Year of Offensive” policy
worked in every possible way. With the graph of the luxury car segment
rising upwards, Mercedes-Benz’s relentless launches and expansion might
spell a boon for the Indian market. Another positive effect that could
happen would be the entry of more foreign luxury brands. It would also
mean that BMW and Audi need to pull their socks up and stop the charge
of Mercedes-Benz.
