Mercedes-Benz is set to transform the Indian automotive market with a lineup of over 12 new cars and SUVs in 2024 with highest ever annual sales in 2023
The German automotive giant is gearing up for a year of luxury, introducing a diverse range of vehicles, including three electric models.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The arrival of the sixth-generation E-Class, slated for a late 2024 launch with an estimated price range between Rs 70 lakh-90 lakh. The long-wheelbase variant, a trademark of its predecessors, promises a larger-than-life experience. Boasting the ‘Superscreen’ technology and a choice between a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with mild-hybrid assist or a 2.0-litre diesel engine, the E-Class is set to redefine luxury sedan expectations.
2024 GLC Coupe
The GLC Coupe is a visual delight with a sloping roofline and a liftback-like tailgate. With the latest in connectivity and technology, this new-gen GLC Coupe is expected to share its powertrain options with its SUV counterpart, featuring a performance-oriented AMG version. Anticipate the GLC Coupe’s arrival in early 2024, with prices ranging between Rs 75 lakh-80 lakh.
Mercedes-Benz CLE
A seamless blend of style and substance, the CLE, a two-door, two-plus-two seater, takes its underpinnings from the C-Class and new-gen E-Class. With a similar cabin to its counterparts, the CLE introduces an immersive sound experience with speakers integrated into the headrest. Expected to hit the Indian roads in late 2024, the CLE comes with a global powertrain range, including four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, providing an array of options.
The GLA Facelift
Scheduled for a launch in the first half of 2024, the GLA facelift is anticipated to be priced between Rs 45 lakh-49 lakh. This facelifted model boasts new LED lighting, color-coordinated wheel arches, and a minimalistic yet technologically advanced cabin. With continued use of the current 1.3-litre turbo-petrol and 2.0-litre diesel engines, the GLA facelift promises an enhanced driving experience.
Mercedes-Benz GLB Facelift
Arriving around the same time as the GLA facelift, the refreshed GLB promises cosmetic enhancements inside and out. With dual-clutch auto gearboxes and the 4Matic all-wheel drive system intact, the GLB facelift is expected to maintain its competitive pricing, ranging between Rs 65 lakh-70 lakh.
New AMG GT
Mid-2024 holds the arrival of the new Mercedes-AMG GT, a spacious and practical two-plus-two sports coupe. Priced at approximately Rs 2.5 crore, the GT boasts a twin-turbo 4.0-litre V8 engine, offering a staggering 476hp in 55 4Matic+ guise and an impressive 585hp in 63 4Matic+ form. With a 9-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, the GT promises an enchanting driving experience.
Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV
Late 2024 will witness the launch of the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, an all-electric marvel priced around Rs 4 crore. With chrome accents, dual-tone paint, and a 108.4kWh battery delivering 600km of range, this SUV is a testament to luxury and sustainability.
Mercedes-Benz EQG
The EQG, an all-electric version of the iconic G Wagon, is set to arrive late in 2024. Priced around Rs 3 crore, the EQG retains the classic G-Class styling with aerodynamic enhancements and a ‘G-Turn’ function, allowing a 360-degree turn on the spot.
Conclusion
Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to luxury and innovation takes center stage in 2024 with an unparalleled lineup of cars and SUVs. As the Indian automotive landscape transforms with the arrival of these distinctive models, enthusiasts can look forward to a year of driving excellence and opulence.
