Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has spruced up its sole W222 S-Class variant in the country with an AMG Line styling package, and this goes on sale here alongside the non-AMG Line version.
New bits on the S 400 h AMG Line are led by an AMG bodystyling kit and 19-inch five twin-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels. The kit was previously seen as an optional add-on, introduced in May last year.
Inside, the AMG Line features a new steering wheel, in the form of a three-spoke AMG multi-function sports unit, and AMG sports pedals help dress things further. The variant drops the Night View Assist Plus function, but otherwise specifications remain unchanged from before.
To recap, the car is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 CGI mill offering 306 hp at 6,500 rpm and 370 Nm at 3,500 to 5,250 rpm, and this is paired with a 27 hp and 250 Nm electric motor integrated between the engine and the 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission.
Standard equipment includes LED intelligent light system headlamps, an electric panoramic sliding sunroof, an Airmatic suspension system as well as an array of bits from a Driving Assistance package Plus.
Items in this one inclued Distronic Plus with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot, Brake Assist BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist, Pre-Safe Brake with pedestrian detection, Pre-Safe Plus, Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist.
The interior continues on with designo brown high-gloss sunburst myrtle wood trim elements, leather upholstery in either black or brown, a 590-watt, 13-speaker Burmester Surround Sound audio system and a rear seat chauffeur package.
Finally, pricing, and the Mercedes-Benz S 400 h AMG Line goes for RM598,888 on-the-road, without insurance, identical to the non-AMG Line unit, which we did a video review of recently.
