Mercedes-Benz Reintroduces Locally Assembled V-Class in India at Rs 1.4 Crore

Bookings are open with deliveries due by late March, reflecting Mercedes’ push into India’s growing luxury MPV niche.

Overview

  • Built at the Chakan plant near Pune, the India-spec model comes only in the extra-long 3,430mm wheelbase with AMG Line styling and standard AIRMATIC air suspension tuned for local roads.
  • Two 2.0-litre options are offered — V300 petrol with mild-hybrid assist and V300d diesel — both paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
  • Chauffeur-focused cabins offer four- or six-seat layouts, including rear captain chairs with ventilation, heating, massage and extendable leg support, plus powered sliding doors and a split tailgate with separately opening glass.
  • Technology highlights include twin 12.3-inch displays, a 15-speaker Burmester system and Level 2 ADAS, with safety features such as seven airbags and a 360-degree camera; the model carries a five-star Euro NCAP rating.
  • India-specific choices include fixed rear side windows and no sunroof, and the introductory price targets rivals like the Toyota Vellfire and Lexus LM with competitiveness enabled by localisation.
