Mercedes-Benz India to Launch Petrol Variants of All Its Models
Highlights
- The decision was made in the middle of last year
- Mercedes believes it is more about the number of choices for the customer
- It recently launched its 6th vehicle in India this year
The German luxury automaker intends to introduce petrol iterations of all the models in its Indian line-up by September. However, the company is confident that a solution regarding the diesel ban in the region, which is among its key markets in the country, will be found soon.
Roland Folger, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, said, "We will be complete with petrol engines in September. Then we will have basically a petrol variant in each of our carlines available. It was a decision we made in the middle of last year." He went on to add, "Ten years ago roughly we had only petrol engines so it's not that unusual for us. It gives customer a choice it is not so much about new segment really."
Mercedes-Benz recently launched its sixth vehicle in India this year - the Mercedes-AMG SLC 43. The two-seater roadster, which is also the tenth AMG product in India, comes powered by 3-litre V6 bi-turbo petrol engine that offers 367bhp for power and develops a massive torque of 520Nm.
