Mercedes Benz to launch cars under Rs. 20 lakh in India

Mercedes Benz is the first of the three German luxury car companies to come to India. Mercedes Benz entered India in 1996 and transformed the luxury car segment which was still in infancy. Then followed BMW and Audi but the irony is, Mercedes Benz has been pushed to 3rd spot, thanks to the new launches from BMW and Audi, mainly of their small SUVs.

In order to regain the lost ground, Mercedes recently launched B Class which is just over Rs. 20 lakh and now is planning to launch cars costing less than Rs. 20 lakh. Mercedes A Class is the smallest car in the Mercedes stable and hence is the vehicle which will be launched under Rs. 20 lakh in India.

Mercedes plans to invest Rs. 250 Cr. in India as its strategic investment till 2014. The company intends to have 40% of its vehicles to be under Rs. 25 lakh, which means, the A and B Class will be the focus model for the Mercedes in the near future.

Mercedes also plans to develop mini SUVs on the A and B Class platform to avail versatility to its customers. If priced well in India, the A Class might be a new segment maker and turn the fortune of Mercedes Benz.

Audi and BMW has seen good success with its SUVs X1,X3 and Q3,Q5 respectively.

     Here is a good news for Mercedes lovers. Mr. Dieter Zetsche, Head of Mercedes Benz cars in India has revealed that the company is planning to launch two brand new SUVs for Indian market. Of the two models, an all new GLA will share platform with A and B Class where as the second generation GLK will come in 2015.

     The Mercedes GLA will compete with Audi Q3 and BMW X1 and hopes to take the Mercedes brand to the next level. Since it is based on A and B Class platform which are essentially the Mercedes MFA (Mercedes Front wheel drive Architecture) efficient space utilisation can be seen. According to sources the styling of this small SUV seems to be as edgy as the A class and the cabin is reputed to be very spacious. Most of the features seen in the A Class will be carried over to the GLA as well.

     The Mercedes GLA could be powered by the same A and B Class engines and is likely to be priced Rs. 23 lakh for petrol and Rs. 30 lakh for diesel variant.
