Here are the details of the Mercedes SUV Rishabh Pant was driving:

- This SUV-Coupe hybrid has a 3 litre V6 biturbo engine that's mated to a nine-speed auto gearbox. The petrol engine can push out as many as 362 BHP and 520 Nm peak torque.
- The powerful vehicle can hit 0-100 kmph in just 5.7 seconds and the top speed is electronically restricted to 250 kmph.
- The car was sold in India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), which means it was imported into India and not built or assembled here.
