Mercedes-Benz: 4 new stunning cars soon in India

Mercedes Benz, the brand that introduced the concept of luxury on wheels to the Indian masses, is all set to dazzle its fans across the country once again.

There is no denying the fact that the Indian luxury car market is, and has been ever since its inception, under the solitary reign of the German Trinity - Mercedes Benz, BMW and Audi.

Neither can one turn away from the fact that whenever one of these three ruling companies has set forward on a new path trying to get an upper hand in the segment, the other two have tried their level best to beat it, all of which results, every time, in a legendary clash between the titans.

What is presently happening in the segment of luxury cars in India is something very similar. With BMW and Audi all set upon bringing in something new every other day, Mercedes has decided to meet the challenge head-on.

Announcing launches of not less than four of its dashing rides that are to take place over the next 6 months, Mercedes has definitely created tidal waves in the already raging waters of its arch rivals.

Here is a quick look at the cars that are soon going to be in India.

Mercedes Benz G63 AMG

Right at the front of the launch queue stands the sturdy off-roading SUV, Mercedes Benz G63 AMG.

Belonging to the bloodline of the mighty Gelandewagen, this upcoming model clearly reflects its legendary ancestor in its basic body frame.

A magnificent 5.5-litre, bi-turbo V8 petrol mill of the AMG make sits under the hood of this off-roader, working in harmony with the freshly engineered AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic transmission gearbox, and effectively serving as the massive power house that is required to propel this beast across the varied terrains of the planet.

Pumping out a peak 553bhp and a maximum of 760Nm of torque, this engine can take the G63 from 0-100kmph in the incredibly short duration of 5.4 seconds.

What adds more value to this flashy pack is the 13% increase in fuel-efficiency that this new version offers over its preceding model.

Mercedes Benz E-Class Facelift

Moving on from enthralling to enticing, it is the gorgeous E-Class that is up next for a launch.

Having stepped on Indian soil about two years ago, the E-Class sedan will be seen in a new avatar next year some time around June.

Facing direct and fierce competition from the likes of Audi A6 and BMW 5-Series, both of which have been making headlines owing to their new looks, it is high time that Mercedes Benz E-Class went in for a revamp itself.

Replacing the twin headlamps with a fresh set of single-unit integrated ones, the upcoming facelift will also get to flaunt a newly styled grille along with day-time running LED lights, refurbished front bumper, more crowned hood and an all-black panoramic roof.

The rear profile does not receive any major noticeable modifications and neither do the interiors.

However, the incorporation of a novel steering wheel and new controls does add a unique touch to the cabin area.
