These Mercedes-Benz cars will become costlier from October 1
Mercedes-Benz has announced a price-hike of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh on the C-Class, E-Class, and GLC models in India. The new prices will be effective from October 1. The company has revealed that the prices will be hiked by up to 2% or ranging from Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 1.5 lakh, depending on the model and trim. Here are more details.
What is the reason behind the price adjustment?
According to Martin Schwenk, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, the price-hike is due to the "weakening of the currency since the beginning of the year" and a "sharp increase in the input costs."
