You’ll Have To Shell Out Up To Rs 7 Lakh More On A New Mercedes From January

• Mercedes will hike prices by Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 7 lakh, depending on the model. 

• It has cited a rise in input cost as the hike’s reason. 

• GLA SUV and E-Class sedan will see the smallest relative hike of under Rs 2 lakh. 

• S-Class and Maybach models see the most substantial increase. 

• The new prices will be effective from January 1, 2023. 

Luxury carmaker Mercedes has announced that it’ll increase prices by up to 5 per cent across its entire model range from January onwards. It’s that time of year when carmakers adjust their prices according to inflation and rising input costs, and these are the reasons Mercedes has cited as well. Other automakers have announced a similar increase in prices.

You’ll have to pay a minimum of Rs 1.5-1.6 lakh more for a Mercedes, with the GLA compact luxury SUV and E-Class sedan getting the smallest increase in prices. The higher-end models in the lineup, such as the top-spec GLE SUV and S-Class sedan, are significantly pricier, fetching Rs 3 lakh and Rs 5 lakh over their most recent 2022 prices, respectively. It’s the Maybach S 580 sedan that takes the biggest leap in price with an increase of Rs 7 lakh.

We expect such hikes from other luxury carmakers to be announced soon, before the start of 2023. Apart from Mercedes, Audi has also announced a hike that’s relatively easier on the pocket.
