Mercedes-Benz V-Class to be Relaunched in India on March 3

German luxury automaker, Mercedes-Benz has confirmed the return of the V-Class to the Indian market. Sharing this update Mercedes-Benz India announced that it will be relaunching the V-Class luxury MPV in the country on March 3rd 2026. The model will mark the re-entry of Mercedes-Benz in the luxury MPV segment in India. The V-Class was offered in the domestic market and its Marco Polo edition was quite popular as well but the company pulled the plug on this car back in 2022. The comeback of the V-Class seems like a well thought through strategic move where the luxury MPV segment in India is booming.

Mercedes-Benz will introduce the latest generation of V-Class in India this year. The new V-Class comes with a series of updates over the previous-gen model. Overall it retains the silhouette of its predecessor but it sports a redesigned grille, updated front-end treatment and a clean, upright rear profile. Globally the V-Class is offered with Long and Extra Long wheelbase options, measuring 3,200mm and 3,430mm respectively. However, it is still not confirmed which iteration of this MPV is coming to the Indian shores.

The V-Class focuses on rear-seat comfort and in the international market it is offered with multiple seating layouts, including 6-seat, 7-seat and 8-seat configurations. It also sports electrically adjustable rear seats with ventilation and massage functions, along with reclining backrests, leg support, tray tables and multiple charging points.

The global version of the V-Class features twin 12.3-inch screens consisting of a digital instrument cluster and a digital infotainment system. Other notable utility features offered in the V-Class include wireless charging, multi-beam LED headlamps, air suspension, ADAS and more.

Internationally the Mercedes-Benz V-Class is offered with 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine mated to a 9-speed AT. This powertrain is offered with two tunes - the 220d produces 163bhp and 380Nm of torque and the 300d produces 237bhp and 500Nm of torque. It is also offered with RWD and AWD setups. We expect the V-Class to be introduced in the Indian market with RWD configuration only.

Mercedes-Benz is expected to launch the new V-Class in the Indian market in an ex-showroom price range of Rs 1.05 to 1.75 crore. Following its return in the Indian market the new V-Class will compete with luxury and premium MPVs like - Toyota Vellfire, Lexus LM, MG M9 and Kia Carnival.
