In continuation to the description of its exterior, the rear look gets accentuated by a refined tail lamp cluster and a thick chrome slat that runs across the boot. It can be said that the embellishments and refinements applied to the exterior have turned out to be head turners and a sure shot smirk aimed at its arch rival – the Merc S-Class.
