Mercedes-Benz has been setting benchmarks in the luxury vehicle segment ever since the brand’s arrival in India. In the year 2024, there have been 6 car launches in the first half and 7 more expected in the second half starting with the launch of the EQA and EQB SUVs. Here is a list of the remaining 5 cars that are going to be launched for the remainder of 2024. 

Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB

Mercedes-Benz will be launching the sixth-generation of the E-Class LWB on our shores and the longer version of the luxury sedan is expected to be priced north of Rs 80 lakh (ex-showroom). It will continue its rivalry with the Audi A6 and the BMW 5 Series, the latter set to get a generational update on July 24. 

The new E-Class comes with almost all the luxuries and comforts that you would want. The features include a 14.4-inch infotainment system and dual 12.3-inch displays (for the driver’s display and the passenger’s display), a 21-speaker Burmester sound system, multi-colour ambient lighting, and connected car tech. We expect the Indian-spec version to come with most of these features. 

The E-Class LWB’s specifications have not been revealed yet, but the International model comes with multiple engines including plug-in hybrid, petrol and diesel engine options. It also gets a 48V mild hybrid motor paired with some of the engine options.
