This is the ICONIC Crease Breaker

The rear executive seat experience and the cabin ambience, material selection feels Modernly Rejuvenating. Interestingly Sunroof (Non Openable) blinds fold in forward direction, designed for more headroom at the back. Coming to the center console, it is definitely beautifully designed and looks Futuristically Elegant. The Crystal - Glass finish on the dashboard discreetly houses the Ambient lighting which is fascinatingly intuitive. In Sport Mode the ambient lighting lights up in the M Colors. The glass elements continues on the door trim and this theme is also implemented on the seat controls, gear selector & the iDrive controller. Its Interesting to note that it’s also a flat-bottomed wheel, something that BMW has typically stayed away from in the past. Overall love the implementation of design & skeletonized metal spokes. The All New 7 Series seems to have redefined this Highly Exclusive Luxury Mobility Segment like never before & makes the time on-board (Rear Seat + Driver's Seat) a truly rewarding experience.

Mercedes S Class

Beautiful car luxurious and high-performance car. Never ceases to excite you. Spacious and high-end features are to look out for. The speed of the car even though it's relatively long is just mindblowing.

2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class First Drive Review

By Abhishek Nigam14 Mar 2018

The art of making consistently brilliant cars is a difficult one and no one does it better than Mercedes-Benz, particularly with the S-Class which is incidentally also known as ‘the best car in the world’. With each new generation the S-Class brought in benchmark technology that placed it a step ahead of the competition every time. The car is question here isn’t a new generation car but a facelift of the W222 model. So you get minor updates on the outside, new features and technology and more importantly two new engines.
