The large grille with four louvers clubbed with the three-dimensional design of the chrome trim and grille interior adds substantially to the elegant look of the sedan. The attractive design of the S-Class is further enhanced by the all LED high performance sharply contoured headlamps and the beautiful panoramic sunroof. The S-Class has a drag co-efficient of 0.24, one of the lowest for a luxury car of this caliber.
Interiors
With its clear architecture, the interior design of the S 400 embodies a classic, superior, cutting-edge saloon. The interior's expressive character is derived from a uniquely fluid and sensuously elegant style. The S 400 interiors feature plush leather upholstery, with the centre console, seats and door panels in leather. The dashboard is a combination of contemporary design featuring sleek horizontal lines, which along with the wood trim imparts the touch of luxury.

Energizing Hot Stone Massage

Peak power and performance:
Under the hood of the new S 400 is a powerful 3-litre, V6 petrol engine that produces 333 hp and a massive 480 Nm of peak torque. The engine is motorized by the revolutionary 7G-TRONIC PLUS transmission from Mercedes-Benz. The 7G-TRONIC PLUS in S 400 has a more dynamic response and ensures reduced fuel consumption. The high efficiency is resultant of a reduced torque converter slip. The 7G-TRONIC PLUS auto transmission enhances driving pleasure due to dynamic gearshifts and response characteristics with smooth gear changes.
