Early in 2020, Mercedes-Benz had announced that they will launch 10 new cars for the Indian Market. Now despite staring down the barrel of the COVID 19 crisis, Mercedes-Benz India has confirmed that they will stick to the timeline, a reaffirmation of just how important the Indian market is to the brand. Thus far, Mercedes Benz has already launched the V-Cross Marco Polo at the Auto Expo and more recently the AMG GTR and the C63 AMG. Over the next few pages, our definitive list of all the new Mercedes-Benz cars coming to India and what we should expect from them.
MERCEDES-BENZ GLS
Next in-line for the Indian Market is the GLS which is slated for a mid-June launch. Mercedes' SUV flagship is the harbinger of the new design language that we will see on the upcoming E-Class and ultimately in the S-Class in 2022. On the outside the DRLs over the headlamps set the tone for the new design theme. On the inside two large digital screens dominate the cabin featuring the new MBUX infotainment platform. Dials and even steering mounted buttons will be replaced by touchpads adding to the minimalist design theme. The GLS is longer both in terms of overall length as well as wheel-base indicating that it will also be more spacious on the inside. The Mercedes-Benz GLS in the Indian market is expected to be offered as the GLS 350d 4Matic diesel and the 450 4Matic turbo petrol.
