Mercedes-Benz launched the facelifted S-class limo this month. It comes with new engine choices, including a first petrol-electric hybrid. Unfortunately, the latter, which uses lithium-ion battery pack, is only for left-hand-drive markets.

Cosmetically, the refreshed car is distinctive with its headlamps dressed up with LED daytime-running lights. It also boasts a new list of electronic aids, including sensors that can tell if the driver is too tired to drive (first seen in new E-class), a stability program that offsets effects of crosswinds and torque vectoring braking, which enhances cornering accuracy.

Here are the pictures of the launch, along with high-res studio pictures.
