The flagship SUVs and sedans from Mercedes-Benz deliver the steepest price drops under GST 2.0.
- S 450 4MATIC - Price cut of Rs. 11 lakh, now at Rs. 1.88 crore, down from Rs. 1.99 crore.
- GLS 450d AMG Line - Now priced at Rs. 1.34 crore, following a cut of nearly Rs. 10 lakh from its earlier Rs. 1.44 crore.
These reductions make Mercedes cars, especially the flagship models, more competitive in the ultra-luxury space, particularly against rivals like BMW's 7 Series and Audi's Q8.
Verdict
With GST 2.0 rationalising taxes on luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz India has passed the entire benefit to customers, offering savings of up to Rs. 11 lakh on the purchase of Mercedes cars. The revised pricing not only strengthens Mercedes' position across entry, mid, and flagship segments but also arrives at a strategic time, just ahead of the festive season. From the accessible A-Class to the opulent S-Class, buyers now have stronger incentives to make their purchase earlier than planned.
