Re: ET - Mercedes-Benz plans to launch five compact cars in India; invest Rs 350 cror The models being launched Globally are as follows,
Compact : A, B, CLC, CLC Shooting brake, GLC (X1/Q3 Competition), A small roadster was also in the works.
High End : S, S Coupe, S Cabrio (not sure yet but prototypes do exist), S Pullman,
Sport : SLS (Baby SLS) / SLS E-Cell (Electric SLS) / A car to replace SLR is also in works in 2017.
SUV : MLC (X6)
Out of the above please understand a few are work in progress names, and can change during final global launch, also not all of the above will make it here, I believe it will be the A, B, and GLC in the compact range, the rest are easy to get as they are above the Homologation norms and a lot easier to bring in,
Out of the above the following cars can if Mercedes India want, be priced below 20,
A-Class : Can have a launch at 14.xx Ex-Showroom, needs good localisation
B-Class : Can have a launch at 19.xx Ex-Showroom, Needs a manual too,
Regards,
