Mercedes-Benz India has officially redefined the luxury personal mobility segment with the launch of the all-new V-Class Extra-Long Wheelbase (LWB). Marketed as a “private suite on wheels,” this luxury MPV is designed to cater to the growing demand for exclusive, secure, and serene personal space among India’s elite.
Local Production and Pricing
In a significant move reinforcing its “Make in India” commitment, Mercedes-Benz announced that it will commence local production of the V-Class. This marks the second product the company has slated for local production this year, following the Mercedes-Maybach GLS SUV.
The all-new V-Class is introduced at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 1.4 crore across India. Bookings are currently open with a formal amount of Rs. 5 lakh, which secures the introductory pricing for customers. Existing Mercedes-Benz customers will receive priority delivery.
Performance and Powertrain Options
For the first time in the Indian market, the V-Class is available with a petrol engine option alongside its diesel counterpart. Both variants are paired with the 9G-TRONIC transmission.+2
