Mercedes Benz will bring in a diesel version of its MPV R Class in India in 2012. Currently Mercedes Benz R Class is available with a 3.5L V6 petrol engine with 272hp of power.
Mercedes Benz unlike its German competitors is the only company with a 7 seater MPV in the luxury segment in India. Since the competition is minimal, Mercedes can create a good business opportunity in this segment by bringing in a diesel variant.
The Mercedes R Class is a versatile MPV with lots of features such as rich infotainment system and huge luggage compartment. The chain of luxury hotels in India is using Mercedes Viano and top-end Innova as luxury vehicles to transport their client. A diesel R Class can be the perfect vehicle for these hotel operators to provide a styling and comfortable service to their customers.
