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.
