Key takeaways:

  • Popular sedans: The C-Class is pricier by Rs 2.5 lakh, but its top-spec C 300d variant still costs Rs 63 lakh. Similarly, all E-Class variants get a Rs 3.5-lakh hike, except the range-topping E 350d trim level, which remains at Rs 87.5 lakh.
  • Steepest hike: The Maybach S-Class, being the most expensive car on this list, also gets the maximum hike, a whopping Rs 12 lakh.

  • GLS SUV: The GLS SUV closely follows the Maybach with an eye-watering increase of Rs 10 lakh. That said, its GLS 450 and Maybach GLS 600 variants haven’t seen a price hike. 

  • EV prices: The Mercedes EQS 580 is the only EV to get a price hike, becoming Rs four lakh more expensive. Its top-spec AMG EQS 53 variant, as well as the EQC and EQB electric SUVs, are unaffected by the hike. 

Reason for price hike 

Mercedes cites a skewed exchange rate (read falling rupee, compared with the Euro) as the reason behind the price correction. This is the second price hike from the carmaker in 2023; a similar hike of up to 5 per cent came about in January 2023.
