Amazing Luxury Package

The car is very underrated in the era of BMW & Mercs, Overall the package is outstanding, the interiors are class-leading plush leather & top-class fit and finishes, and 8 yr of a comprehensive warranty, and Lexus protection are additional cheery on the cake. The only thing is EMT, not sure how it would pan out over the years. Super excited to own the car & enjoy a trouble-free ownership experience.

Best of Best

This is the best car, I ever ride. This is the car 2hick gives you everything. Such as Luxury, comfort. And everything what you paid for. Before this car I used fortuner. But when I purchased this. I got everything. This is the best Luxuriest car of Mercedes Benz in my opinion. I always want to have a Mercedes, now I have Mercedes Benz CLS
