A New Chapter for Luxury Travel: Mercedes-Benz V-Class Set to Arrive in India on March 3, 2026
Mercedes-Benz India is gearing up to reintroduce its premium multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) offering with the all-new V-Class, officially slated to hit Indian showrooms on March 3, 2026. This launch marks the brand’s return to the high-end people-mover segment after a brief hiatus, and it arrives at a time when demand for chauffeur-driven and luxury family transport is on the rise across India.
The V-Class has always stood out as a “mobile lounge” rather than simply a people-carrier, and Mercedes-Benz continues this philosophy with the latest iteration. While full technical details for the Indian specification are yet to be revealed, international previews show that the new V-Class retains its commanding MPV silhouette with refined styling cues—think bold grille work, sleek LED headlamps and a poised stance that hints at both practicality and prestige.
Inside, the emphasis is firmly on comfort and connectivity. The cabin is expected to reflect Mercedes’ signature luxury ethos with premium materials, dual digital displays for infotainment and driver information, and a smart layout that balances driver convenience with passenger indulgence. Available seating configurations globally range from flexible seven- and eight-seater layouts to an opulent six-seat setup with individual captain chairs, underscoring the V-Class’s appeal to executives, large families and luxury transport services alike.
Powering the new V-Class is anticipated to be a refined 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine paired with a smooth automatic gearbox—an engine choice that aligns with Mercedes’ global offerings and underscores the vehicle’s tour-ready capability. Specific tuning and performance figures for India will be confirmed closer to launch, but the established setup promises a blend of efficiency and effortless cruising comfort, tailored for long highway journeys as well as city travel.
In terms of positioning, the V-Class will join an increasingly vibrant luxury MPV segment in India. It is expected to rival premium alternatives such as the Toyota Vellfire, Lexus LM and MG M9, offering buyers a distinctly Mercedes-flavored balance of understated luxury, brand prestige, and thoughtful interior space. Early pricing forecasts suggest it will sit comfortably in the Rs. 1 crore to Rs. 1.2 crore (ex-showroom) bracket, reflecting its premium aspirations and import status.
For Indian car enthusiasts and luxury travel connoisseurs alike, the V-Class’s arrival is more than a product launch—it’s a statement. It highlights Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to expanding beyond traditional sedans and SUVs into lifestyle-oriented vehicles that redefine comfort and versatility on the road.
