Emphasizing the superiority of the model, it was officially promoted as the 450 SEL: S for Sonderklasse (Special Class), E for Einspritzung (Fuel Injection) and L for Lang (Long wheelbase).

The SEL wheelbase was four inches longer than the regular SE model offering additional legroom, and it was graced with a redesigned and more luxurious interior in either velour or leather.
