[@abymathew295]

I'm not wondering about the 250kg door, but about that Hinge that support it..🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@Hkmmotologs]

and you think they won't take that into consideration building a high security car like this?

[@taranshupattnaiktp3335]

Luxury car brands are going all out for making highly safe cars. But armoured vehicles are in a different level. The numbers which I saw on the screen such as 4.2 tonnes kerb weight, and doors each weighing 250kg is simply mind boggling for S680 Guard....

[@Rajesh-wt1xx]

Kudos to camera team to make such a brilliant video 👌 Watching the big daddy of Merc in black color drifting in snowy white was an absolute visual treat 🤩

[@safebook5607]

This lady always gives me the chills!! Hats off to you Mam!!!

[@Winzrful]

The pani puri guy across my street should buy this, he was threatened by someone the other day for not paying protection money.

[@murali7815]

Absolutely brilliant content and such a visual treat!

[@martinminar1949]

Absolutely perfect daily driver for "safe" Washington Dc. Bulletproof windows are a must!

[@Shamil773]

Only channel who can take S-class to off road..

[@GururajBN]

The car seems to have all the features except the wings! Marvellous engineering.

[@abymathew295]

This should also come with a pair of 50 Cal belt fed Machine guns..😁

[@abymathew295]

Need a G63 AMG 4×4 Squared version of this..😍😍😍

[@saravanavigneshrajendran8506]

Kudos to Autocar team, Renuka and of course the photographer.. 😍

[@s.arecords2328]

[@MO-fg2cm]

[@9vmarcus]

[@vivekgoldsmith-un1py]

I'll be happy if u tell us about Range Rover Sentinel too...

[@abymathew295]

What kind of Bullet does the window rated for..🤔🤔🤔

[@Maniacguy2777]

To open the door you need a crane outside for 250 kilo when you are in uphill.

[@khushpreetsinghgrover72]

That is a nice looking hyundai genesis, when did they launch it 👀.

[@ashutoshaggarwal8986]

Salute to the efforts made by autocar india team.

[@RajatKumar-pr1xx]

The looks of previous gen S class (especially rear look) was much better.

[@pauljudkins8829]

[@Navtejpb06]

[@pinakde3824]

This is the kind of car The Transporter would drive

[@abhib1159]

That's what I call the Ultimate Mercedes-Benz.. Absolutely Brilliant 👏 🥰 Armored Bullet Proof V12 Guard 8.. Wow ❤ 🔥

[@gnirupbalarkareddy874]

Isn't the low ground clearance a problem in cities??

[@santoshnadkarni8107]

No. High ground clearance equals to tàller vehicle. Which equals to higher centre of gravity. This leads to less dynamic handling while running away from danger. So all suchvehicles are typical sedans.

[@doxterstockman188]

Waiting for Ferrari Purosangue review from this channel

[@AneeshV1992]

This is unbeatable indulgence

[@AmithNarayanan]

99% of those watching this video won't be able to afford it. And those who can easily afford it, won't be watching this video any day! 🙃

[@Aethelwulf91]

Diesel mein aata hai kya? City mein kitna deta hai?

[@uneshkumar3396]

Milege bhul jao

[@amaan8688]

Khareedna hai kya?😂

[@taljeetsingh1545]

Right person to review it

[@murathimwangi8159]

How much. I want to purchase this vehicle.

[@abhib1159]

No one hosts this show better than Renuka Kripalani.. I swear

[@woodsmachinery3670]

[@emmanuelthomas6107]

I need one with white colour ❤❤❤

[@naveenavadhani]

Superb content

[@kunwarbaath4887]

14:31 to 14:35 what a delight to eyes😍🤌🏽

[@nabeelshaikh1103]

Renuka mam is my favorite auto journalist 🌟💓

[@chinmayng3421]

Her driving skills are insane it’s not easy to drift a four tonne car in a snow!

[@chino9468]

how much????

[@ankitnandwani12345]

What’s the GNCAP rating? 😂

[@---_---_---_---_---_---]

Wow 🤯

[@haritverma4050]

That ain’t a car, that is a tank on four wheels!!

[@some.generic.username5254]

so 9cr+ after import taxes i assume

[@kevingarfield2094]

We call that sliding not drifting

[@saikiranbv1234567]

get that? got it!

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

One of the basic security feature not employed, limo-tint!!

[@S_Paoli]

guess I'll have no choice but to buy one of these when I win the Powerball?

[@abheetjain9819]

creta/seltos fanbois- safety? wo kya hoti h? 😂😂

[@saliloza5461]

Simply mind boggling vehicle.

[@Krieky]

Striking off my list because, you know, no panoramic sunroof.

[@soumyadipchandra17]

What is the milage of this car?? So heavy

[@Swetabh96]

I wonder if I can do those donuts in my Swift. 😶‍🌫️

[@Venkey2906]

State Of Art Engineering

[@anujkhurana2307]

Kitna mileage deti hai yeh? 😅

[@mahendra_akshaj]

Renuka u dont talk u rock Gud job

[@Renucar]

Thanks 😊

[@muhammadfaris4566]

PMX naik kereta ni kan

[@dreamhunter2596]

Imagine a tata safety product in that budget

[@vickyjadhav2885]

Best Sedan 👍 Luxury Sedan 👍

[@vinodparyani7926]

All 10on10 except the name 'Guard'... call it a tank or something better... Guard isn't the right positioning, in my opinion.

[@binoyadhikary9376]

❤ u mercedes Benz

[@malaypangtey]

Nice, but not as fancy as Badshah 's CBI car

[@arvind8302]

14:28 next g20 modi be entering like…

[@leroytauro1396]

V 12 engine powerful machine. This vehicle good for vvip people s .

[@thememechannel9473]

While Rolls Royce making regular car of this😂

[@ashutoshgupta224]

I like Range Rover sentinel

[@knightnight9160]

These are actual cars. Fan boys wouldn't get it.

[@ravzravio1]

Respect

[@saurabhceaseless]

car for extreme introvert or someone with extreme social anxiety

[@harshadk4264]

why did they trivialize the grill? it looks uneven and shabby - e220 cdi had the best grill.. who are they trying to impress? younger generation who cannot afford it? the front and tail lights are in poor taste.. and who really wanted to see the exhaust pipes?

[@abulaisbagwan8595]

Luxury tank

[@faisalishaq2959]

What if this falls off a cliff into a deep ravine? Or what if the earth underneath cracks open? Can this fly and keep the passenger "invincible"

[@naseersa1691]

PM Modi like this car 🚗🚗🚗

[@VarunSrinivas]

Punch is way safer

[@Abhi-now]

Tatas are still safer according to tata fanboys

[@sujeetjha7449]

Why compare wth Tata.. cmpre wth audi bmw n all. U r cmprng two dffrnt categories

[@KalleshHC]

Yes! For the price..

[@prachurjyabarman]

😂😂 eggjacklee

[@Icemortis7621]

Nah bro

[@opticgamer1543]

What!!!

[@SumitJain-wg9qr]

Shuru se aise hi hai this is as same as PM’s car

[@lvlx9517]

Wtf with the Alloys Man!! Like Srsly!? I think Mercedes should work on it coz It looks so basic just like a VW Tiguan! The Maybach ones or the Regular S-Class ones were far better than this one!

[@sonyaunderwood933]

😍😍😍

[@AnweshAdhikari]

❤

[@SuperLukiano]

How exciting 😴

[@balajimohite2640]

🙏👌👏👏💯🎇

[@georgevavoulis4758]

Let's see this Mercedes Benz get crash tested in America by NHTSA and Euroncap just like any other car .
