Mercedes-Benz India has reduced the price of its Long Wheelbase (LWB) E-Class sedan following the implementation of GST 2.0. Customers now benefit from savings of up to Rs 6 lakh on the luxury executive saloon.
The E-Class LWB is now priced at Rs 78.5 lakh for the E200, Rs 80.5 lakh for the E220d and Rs 91.7 lakh for the E450 4MATIC AMG Line. The revisions come as part of GST 2.0 restructuring, which has lowered overall taxation on luxury cars. All the prices are ex-showroom, India.
To mark one year of the new E-Class LWB in India, Mercedes-Benz has also introduced a new 'Verde Silver' paint option across all three variants. The E-Class remains the country's best-selling luxury sedan, with more than 62,000 units on Indian roads.
The sixth-generation E-Class LWB was launched in October 2024 and has since won nine major automotive awards, including the ICOTY 2024 Luxury Sedan of the Year.
Key features include the third-generation MBUX Superscreen with AI-powered personalisation and Routines, allowing the car to learn and automate frequently used comfort settings. The sedan also offers a unique in-car selfie camera for video calls, Burmester 4D Surround Sound System with Dolby Atmos, and extensive rear-seat comfort features such as 36-degree reclining seats, extendable thigh support, and electrically operated blinds.
On the safety front, the E-Class LWB is equipped with eight airbags, including India's first centre airbag in its class, along with Blind Spot Assist and Mercedes-Benz’s Pre-Safe system. The car is also fitted with Enhanced Agility Control suspension, specifically tuned for Indian road conditions.
