Mercedes-Benz Launches S 600 Guard in India; Prices Start at Rs. 8.9 Crore

Just so you know, with its Guard models, Mercedes-Benz has the world's widest range of special protection vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz Guard range currently has models from the S, E, M and G-Class, globally.

Eberhard Kern, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India stated, "We are glad to introduce this 'fortress on wheels' for our exclusive set of high profile Indian customers, who require the highest levels of protection when on the move, and rely only on Mercedes-Benz special protection vehicles. This is yet another instance where the best of Mercedes-Benz's enriched global portfolio is being offered for Indian customers."

The S 600 Guard's gains its strength from specific reinforcement of the base structure integrated into the bodyshell production stage. Whereas the comfort is maintained by sophisticated integration and intelligent overlapping of all protective elements. Despite the extensive protective measures, the S 600 Guard is externally hardly distinguishable from the standard model that also allows the scope for maximum discretion.
