In 1972, Mercedes-Benz premiered a generation of its luxury class vehicles and officially announced the name ‘S-Class’. Alongside this new launch, they also released new S-Class models, which happened to also be the first vehicles in europe to have airbags. These also came available with safety door handles, side windows with anti-soiling measures and much more. Mercedes-Benz have continually bought new features to the market, which paved the way for other brands.

Our newly launched S-Class is the 7^th generation of the model and comes equipped with many energizing innovative technology and safety features remaining one of the most futuristic vehicles in the market.

In 1971 and 1972, the third generation of the SL was released. The SL was known as a luxury convertible sports car. The SL has the longest nameplate in Mercedes-Benz production car history. Following a shot hiatus, the Mercedes-AMG SL made a comeback this year with a new look and many exciting safety and comfort features offering a sensational but supportive driving experience.
