Mercedes-Benz India announces price increase

Mercedes-Benz India quantified price increase plan for their vehicle range in India. The increase in the price range is from 1-3 per cent and will be effective from January 14, 2013.

"Rising inputs cost, volatility of the rupee-euro, high interest rates and other associated factors
have put significant pressure on us. Consequently, we are forced to share a part of this burden with our customers and we will increase prices of our vehicles to the tune of 1-3 per cent effective January 14, 2013. However, to support the purchase decisions of our discerning customers, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services will be supporting with various finance options," said Eberhard Kern, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.

The price of the B-class will be increased by 1 per cent, for the C-class and E-class sedans it will be 1.5 per cent and for the S-class sedan, the rise in price will be 3 per cent.

The M-class SUV will be dearer by 3 per cent and the prices of the CBU range of vehicles comprising the CLS-class, SLK-class, R-class and the SLS AMG will also be increased by 1 per cent.
