Mercedes Benz Cars Will Be 2 Percent More Expensive Form January 2026

Mercedes Benz India will raise prices by up to 2 percent across its entire range, including electric models, starting January 1. The company says the euro to rupee exchange rate has stayed above the 100 mark for longer than expected, which has pushed up the cost of imported parts and fully imported cars. 

Rising input costs, inflation and higher logistics expenses have also added to the pressure. 

The price impact will differ for each model, with imported vehicles seeing the biggest jump while locally assembled models with foreign components will still gain a smaller increase. Mercedes Benz Financial Services is helping soften the effect through improved finance schemes that reflect the RBI repo rate cuts, which benefits a large share of the brand’s customers.

In reality we don't expect that an average Mercedes buyer will care about 2 percent increase. Other carmakers like BMW, Audi could soon follow suit.

Here is table of likely new prices for reference only, actual price will be revealed next month
