On the inside too, the sedan comes equipped with carbon fibre inserts, AMG badging, dual displays, and a drive-dial selector on the AMG Performance steering wheel. Moreover, the sound experience in the cabin can be further enhanced by switching between the ‘Balanced’ or ‘Powerful’ option using a toggle located on the centre console or on the steering wheel.

The only true competition to this super sedan in India is the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid priced at Rs. 3.30 crore (ex-showroom).
