Effectively an armoured car for executives, the Guard car is offered in three different models – the E-Guard, S-Guard and G-Guard.
At first glance it’s difficult to tell that the Guard car is any different from other Mercedes models. On closer inspection, though, it’s obvious that the armour-reinforced doors are heavier than a standard sedan, and that the polycarbonate glass windows are thicker than those in conventional models.
“There’s always been interest in such a vehicle in the UK,” said Rob Allan, manager of special vehicles at Mercedes-Benz in the USA – where the cars have recently been introduced. “Until now we just didn’t have the right product.”
The base price of the Guard car is GB pound 130,000, although top-of-the-range models can sell for up to GB pound 175,000.
