Mercedes-Benz India has announced that the ex-showroom prices of their entire model range will be increased by up to 5%. Prices will go into effect on January 1, 2023. According to the manufacturer, this was done to offset inflationary pressures and the constant rise in input costs. The price increase would differ depending on the model. The updated prices are listed below.
Martin Schwenk, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, commented on the price increase, saying, “Mercedes-Benz has been creating benchmarks in the luxury automotive industry in India, introducing world-class products and technologies for the discerning customers.” However, in order for us and our Franchise Partners to run a sustainable and profitable business, a price correction is required to offset rising inflationary cost pressures. Though we are absorbing the majority of the cost increase, we are forced to pass some of the cost increase on to our customers. The price reduction will ensure the brand’s premium price positioning and the best-in-class ownership experiences that are associated with Mercedes-Benz.”
