Pros Cons of BMW M4

Pros

  • Explosive 3.0-Litre twin-turbo with strong performance
  • M xDrive AWD adds grip while allowing RWD drift mode
  • Usable for daily driving with a 440-litre boot
  • Sharp handling with excellent balance and control

Cons

  • Low ground clearance needs caution over speed breakers
  • Stiff ride quality on rough roads
  • No rear-axle steering and no spare tyre

Verdict

The BMW M4 Competition xDrive is built for drivers first. We evaluated it in both city and highway conditions, and what stands out is how easily it adapts. In calmer modes, it feels manageable, but push it harder, and it becomes sharp and aggressive.  The driving experience is its biggest strength. It feels precise, controlled, and very quick, with the AWD system adding confidence in corners. At the same time, it can very well double up as your daily driver and sports car, which adds to its appeal.

There are compromises. The low ground clearance and stiff suspension can be limiting on bad roads. But overall, the package feels complete and purposeful. If you want a performance coupe that is fast, engaging, and still usable every day, the M4 makes a strong case.

Pros Cons of Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Pros

  • The S-Class plug-in hybrid in India delivers a combined 435 bhp and 680 Nm of powertrain output.
  • Safety gets a serious boost with an advanced safety suite that packs 15 airbags as standard.
  • The 22kWh battery pack provides a fuel-saving electric-only driving range of up to 115 km per charge.
  • The upgraded cabin features a 13.1-inch touchscreen paired with dual wireless controllers for passengers.
  • An ultra-premium 31-speaker Burmester surround sound system is built directly into the new limousine package.

Cons

  • The price starts at a whopping Rs 2.20 Crore and goes all the way up to Rs 2.38 Crore.
  • Despite opening bookings immediately, deliveries only commence in Q4 of 2026.
  • The plug-in hybrid model is offered exclusively with a Rear-Wheel Drive layout.

Verdict

On paper, the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class plug-in hybrid looks like an absolute masterstroke for the Indian luxury market. By marrying a silky-smooth 3.0-litre straight-six with a substantial electric battery, Mercedes is promising the holy grail of flagship motoring. Which is zero-emission city commuting alongside uncompromised, long-distance highway range. Add to that the unprecedented safety shield of 15 airbags and the cutting-edge MB.OS tech, and it looks poised to set a whole new benchmark.

However, the real test will be on the tarmac. We still need to see how seamlessly the complex hybrid powertrain behaves in bumper-to-bumper gridlock and how beautifully the standard AIRMATIC suspension handles the added weight of the 22kWh battery pack. It is an engineering marvel on the spec sheet, but we will reserve our final judgment until we get the keys for a comprehensive road test.
