Pros Cons of Mercedes-Maybach S-Class

Pros

  • Still One Of The Best Cars On The Planet
  • Loaded With Tech And Features
  • Excellent Space And Comfort

Cons

  • No Amg Package For Locally Assembled Models
  • No 4Matic Awd For Diesel Variants
  • Locally Assembled S Class Gets A De-Tuned Diesel Engine

Verdict

The new-gen Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a huge step up and even the locally assembled India-spec flagship sedan is not skimmed-off. It now gets new headlamps with individual modules which have million pixels inside that in combination with multi-beam LED headlamps along with ultra-range high beam offers a 650 metre of illumination. The S-Class has always been an elegant sedan and looks classy, no matter what generation it belongs to.

Pros Cons of Rolls-Royce Ghost

Pros

  • Exceptionally plush ride quality
  • Incredibly quiet, well-appointed cabin
  • Huge V12 grunt with smooth power delivery

Cons

  • An eye-watering price tag right from the start
  • The thirsty V12 engine guarantees massive running costs
  • Massive footprint makes it tricky to hustle through traffic

Verdict

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II successfully defends its title as the gold standard of the present. It is an utterly sorted piece of engineering that delivers a deeply relaxing driving experience. If the Spectre is the future, the Ghost proves there is still life left in a beautifully crafted, V12-powered sedan. The Black Badge adds a genuinely punchy, spirited edge to the recipe, giving buyers a reason to dismiss their chauffeur and take the wheel themselves.

While the Bentley Flying Spur offers a bit more corner-carving fun, the Ghost simply wafts past the competition with effortless grace. It demands an astronomical financial commitment, but for those who can afford the asking price, this sedan justifies every single rupee spent.

Amaan signs off,

“It’s safe to say the Black Badge will burn a significantly larger hole in your pocket than the standard Ghost. It’s the perfect choice for the owner who wants the prestige of a Rolls-Royce but prefers the view from the driver’s seat.”
