We are confident that the local production will make the CLA even more attractive for the discerning buyers with additional value propositions and increased availability," said Eberhard Kern, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.

Mercedes-Benz will also start the local production of the GLA 200 Sport (Petrol version). Benefits of localization ranging from Rs 1 lakh to 2 lakh will be passed on to customers for both the CLA and GLA.
