In the world of luxury cars, the name Mercedes-Benz S-Class has always been considered a symbol of technology, comfort and prestige. For decades, this car has been the first choice of businessmen, politicians and elite customers worldwide. Now Mercedes-Benz has introduced the S 450 e Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) variant in the Indian market, marking an important milestone in the history of the S-Class. Notably, the S-Class series in India is the first to feature plug-in hybrid technology.
According to Mercedes-Benz, this is considered the biggest mid-life update of the current S-Class generation. The S 450 e has been priced at Rs 2.20 crore for the launch edition and Rs 2.38 crore for the Manufaktur edition (ex-showroom). Bookings for this car have started across the country and the customers will start getting deliveries from the last quarter of 2026. The biggest highlight of this luxury sedan is its driving range of up to 115 kilometers in electric-only mode. With the help of a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery and a 120 kW electric motor, the car can complete daily journeys without petrol. The electric motor independently produces 163 hp of power and 440 Nm of torque.

Mercedes-Benz’s new 3.0-litre M256 inline-six turbo petrol engine was at work after the battery ran out of energy. This engine produces 326 hp of power and 540 Nm of torque. The combined output reaches a whopping 435 hp and 680 Nm with the help of an electric motor and a 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox. So this car can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.7 seconds. More than 2,700 components have been redesigned and upgraded in the new S 450 e. The large illuminated front grille, micro-LED headlamps, 600m beam throw capability and newly designed taillamps accentuate its premium look.

The interior features a new digital architecture based on MB.OS, AI-enabled MBUX voice assistant with Google maps navigation and MBUX Superscreen. Air suspension, rear-wheel steering and a self-adjusting suspension system that anticipates bumps in the road make for a more comfortable ride. The S 450 e also sets new standards in terms of safety. For the first time in India, the S-Class has 15 airbags. Along with this, pre-safe belt tensioning and advanced safety technology have been included.
Mercedes-Benz has tried to further strengthen its grip on the Indian luxury vehicle market with three options – petrol, fully electric and now a plug-in hybrid. The S 450 e is seen as a perfect blend of eco-friendly technology and luxurious experience.
