Granted, it’s modernised but as far as the luxury experience goes - the plush interior, cocooned feeling, and magic carpet ride quality can be had even in the W220 S-Class that debuted in 1998.

Mercedes-Benz has plans to set up local assembly (CKD) operations of the Mercedes-Benz EQS in India later this year, said Martin Schwenk, the CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, as reported by Automotive News Europe.
