As such the ex-showroom price of Mercedes-Benz’s model range will be increased by 5% w.e.f. 15th January, 2021.
India’s largest luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz India announced an upward revision of the price of its model range late last week to cover costs borne by the company investing in new technologies and features such as the ‘Mercedes me connect’ across its product portfolio and introduced certain product enrichments.
Mercedes-Benz India Managing Director & CEO Martin Schwenk said Mercedes-Benz offers an enriched product portfolio with the latest features like Mmc technology and keeps introducing new product enhancements in specific models.
“We have been operating a sustainable and future ready business; however, a necessary price correction is required to offset the continuous rise in input and operational costs. The new price range of our select vehicles will ensure the brand’s premium price positioning, assuring a sustainable growth both for the brand and our dealer partners, enabling continuation of the best-in-segment customer ownership experiences, equated with Mercedes-Benz,” he said.
The models affected include:
C 200 | C 220d / E 200 | E 220 / GLC 200 | GLC 220 d / GLE 450 4M LWB | GLE 300 d /
