Tristar Worldwide has become one of the first chauffeur companies in the UK to add the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class to its fleet.

It has started taking delivery of 10 new S-Class cars.

This is the first tranche of replacements that will see all the company’s old S-Class fleet replaced by the new model.

Dean De Beer, CEO of Tristar Worldwide,  said: “We are always striving to have the newest models in our fleet and the S-Class is a step change in terms of both design and luxury.

“This is an outstanding vehicle and I am sure our clients will notice and appreciate the new model with its luxurious interior and additional space.

“In addition, it offers improvement in power and fuel consumption, a reduction in CO2 emissions and unrivalled safety systems.”

Additionally, all of the Platinum Mercedes E-Class fleet are now the new shaped hybrid design, offering lower CO2s than ever before - a 15% reduction to 109g - and an improvement in levels of comfort and safety.
