Mercedes-Benz V-Class Launched In India At ₹1.40 Crore With Premium Lounge Cabin
Mercedes-Benz has reintroduced the Mercedes-Benz V-Class luxury MPV in India, with prices starting at ₹1.40 crore (ex-showroom). The premium people-mover returns to the Indian market after a four-year gap and will compete with luxury MPVs like the Toyota Vellfire and Lexus LM.
The company has also confirmed that the model will be locally manufactured in India, strengthening its presence in the high-end luxury vehicle segment.
Exterior Design And Styling
The latest V-Class, which was globally unveiled in 2023, comes with several styling upgrades while retaining the brand’s signature design language.
The MPV features a bold grille, sleek body lines, and updated lighting elements that align with the brand’s modern design philosophy. Built on a 3,200 mm wheelbase, the India-spec version is offered exclusively in the extra-long 3,430 mm wheelbase configuration, making it the longest Mercedes vehicle currently sold in the country.
Standard AMG Line styling enhances its sporty appearance with:
- Star-pattern front grille
- Sportier bumpers
- Multi-beam LED headlights with DRLs
- Dual-tone 18-inch alloy wheels
Larger 19-inch wheels are available in some global markets but not in the India-spec version.
Luxury-Focused Interior
Inside, the V-Class prioritises comfort and premium experiences, especially for rear passengers.
Buyers can choose between four-seat or six-seat configurations, both designed with luxury in mind. The lounge seats offer multiple high-end functions including:
- Electric adjustment
- Reclining capability
- Massage function
- Seat ventilation
- Heating
In the six-seat layout, even the third row comes with ventilation, adding to passenger comfort.
Other key features include:
- Three-zone climate control
- Burmester premium sound system
- 64-colour ambient lighting
- Twin 12.3-inch digital displays
- Multiple interior theme options
Safety is also well covered with seven airbags, a 360-degree camera, and a Level 2 ADAS driver assistance system.
Engine And Performance
The V-Class is offered with two powertrain options:
V300 d (Diesel)
- 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine
- 237 hp power output
V300 Petrol
- 2.0-litre petrol engine

Both variants are paired with a 9-speed torque converter automatic transmission, delivering smooth and refined performance suitable for luxury chauffeur-driven use.
With its spacious layout, luxury-focused cabin, and premium features, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class aims to strengthen its position in India’s growing luxury MPV segment, where comfort-focused vehicles are increasingly popular among high-end buyers.
