What the S450e Launch Edition Plug-in Hybrid AT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the S450e Launch Edition Plug-in Hybrid AT comes to ₹2,35,68,631 on the road in Aizawl and ₹2,70,88,831 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹35,20,200 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
₹2.20Cr ex-showroom Delhi makes this the cheapest S-Class there is, ₹18.00L below the next one up. S450e Launch Edition is sold this one way, as the Plug-in Hybrid 9-speed torque-converter auto. Stepping up to S450e Manufaktur Edition from here starts at ₹18.00L more and changes none of the equipment we track, and opens up no engine the S450e Launch Edition cannot already be had with, so whatever separates them is something to see in person.
More about the S450e Launch Edition trim
Where the S-Class starts: the plug-in hybrid (435 PS combined), with Level 2 driver assistance with steering assist, a 360 camera, a panoramic sunroof and Burmester sound as standard.
