Mercedes-Benz India is marking the first anniversary of its long-wheelbase E-Class with a stunning new Verde Silver paint option, inspired by the luxurious Maybach color palette. Alongside this celebration, the company has announced significant price reductions of up to Rs. 8 lakh on the E-Class LWB and GLE 450 4MATIC, thanks to the revised GST 2.0 structure. These updates make the brandโs premium offerings even more enticing for luxury car buyers in India.
E-Class LWB: A Class Apart
The E-Class LWB has solidified its position as Indiaโs top-selling luxury sedan, blending sophisticated design with features tailored for Indian roads. The introduction of the exclusive Verde Silver shade adds a distinctive flair to its elegant profile. The sedan is equipped with an Enhanced Agility Control Suspension, fine-tuned for local conditions, ensuring a smooth and composed ride. Safety is prioritized with standard Active Brake Assist and a pioneering front center airbag, a first for a made-in-India Mercedes-Benz.
Practicality meets luxury with thoughtful touches like a spare wheel tucked beneath the boot floor, locally crafted side and quarter glass, and electrically operated rear blinds controlled via the advanced MBUX system. Rear passengers enjoy up to 36 degrees of seat recline, making the E-Class LWB a perfect choice for chauffeur-driven comfort.
The third-generation MBUX Superscreen steals the show with AI-driven personalization, offering five unique display styles and automated โpersonalized routinesโ for everyday tasks. A built-in selfie camera enables in-car video calls, while the Burmester 4D surround sound system, featuring 17 speakers, four exciters, and Dolby Atmos, delivers an immersive 730W audio experience. Rigorous crash and emission tests in Germany and Spain ensure the vehicle meets Mercedes-Benzโs global quality standards.
