At the launch of the G 580 and EQS 450 SUVs, Mercedes-Benz has announced that it will be launching six more models this year, majorly comprising top-end vehicles (TEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Its current line-up starts with the A 200 priced at Rs 46.5 lakh, and goes up to the AMG G 63 that's priced at Rs 3.64 crore. Mercedes launched 14 new cars in the country last year, including the locally produced EQS SUV and the Maybach EQS SUV.

1. Mercedes is India’s largest manufacturer of luxury cars
2. The GT 63 Motorsport Collectors Edition could also arrive in limited numbers

Mercedes has confirmed that it will be displaying the G 580, Maybach EQS 680 Night Series SUV and the CLA concept at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Other cars that would be present include the AMG SL 55, AMG S 63 E Performance and E 450 LWB AMG Line. While we have previously reported that the AMG CLE 53 will launch in the second half of 2025, here is a list of a few cars that could make their way to India:

Mercedes AMG E 53

The next-generation AMG E 53 plug-in hybrid made its global debut in 2024 and is expected to launch here. Previously, we had the Mercedes-AMG E 53 Cabriolet on sale for Rs 1.3 crore; the sedan version was also launched in 2021, but it was discontinued. The new Mercedes PHEV will have a combined output of 585hp and 750Nm, which can be taken up to 612hp with the AMG Dynamic Plus package.

Mercedes AMG GT R

The AMG GT R made its India debut in 2017 and got a facelift in 2020, but Mercedes discontinued it soon after. The next-generation model is likely to arrive this year, but owing to stricter emission norms, it is likely to get some type of hybrid system. The GT R coupe was powered by AMG’s 4-litre twin-turbo V8 making 585hp and 700Nm, which hurled it from 0-100kph in 3.6 seconds and gave it a top speed of 318kph.

Mercedes Maybach GLS Night Series

While we do have the Mercedes-Maybach GLS facelift on sale right now, the Night Series package will add black chrome elements to the car. Unveiled in 2023, the SUV gets a two-tone paint finish in Obsidian Black and Mojave Silver. There will be a monotone diamond white color scheme on offer as well. Under the hood, the Maybach GLS houses a 4-litre, twin-turbo V8 petrol engine generating up to 579hp and 770Nm of torque.
