Mercedes-Benz India To Increase The Prices Of Its Model Range: Read More To Find Out
Mercedes-Benz India has announced that it will be increasing the prices of its model range effective 15 January 2021. The imminent price correction would be in the range of 5 per cent, across the model range. Mercedes-Benz has also been investing in introducing new technologies and features like 'Mercedes me connect' across its product portfolio.
Martin Schwenk, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said, "At Mercedes-Benz, we offer an enriched product portfolio with the latest features like Mmc technology and keep 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 the continuation of the best-in-segment customer ownership experiences, equated with Mercedes-Benz," he further added.
So, why has the company increased the prices of its model range? It is because of the weakening of the Indian currency compared to the Euro since the past six to seven months, combined with an increase in input costs. This has led to significant pressure on the overall production costs.
In other recent Mercedes-Benz news, the company launched the new S-Class 'Maestro' Edition in the Indian market that carries a price tag of Rs 1.51 crore, ex-showroom (India). The new Maestro Edition of the S-Class is also the first Mercedes-Benz product to feature the latest-generation 'Mercedes Me Connect' technology, which now comes with home integration and voice assistance.
Mechanically, the S-Class 'Maestro' Edition uses the same 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder diesel engine producing 286bhp of power and 600Nm of peak torque. The engine comes paired with an automatic transmission.
