Mercedes-Benz India has announced a significant price cut for its best-selling luxury sedan, the E-Class long-wheelbase (V214), following the Union government’s revised GST rates for passenger vehicles. The three E-Class variants on sale are now cheaper by up to ₹5.2 lakh, making the executive sedan more attractive to buyers.
Price Reduction Across Variants
Among the three trims, the top-spec E450 AMG Line has received the steepest price drop of ₹5.2 lakh. Both the entry-level E200 and the diesel-powered E220d have become more affordable by ₹4.5 lakh each.
Updated Price List (Ex-showroom, India)
| Variant | Pre-GST Reform Price (₹ lakh) | Post-GST Reform Price (₹ lakh) | Difference (₹ lakh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| E200 | 83.0 | 78.5 | 4.5 |
| E220d | 85.0 | 80.5 | 4.5 |
| E450 AMG Line | 96.9 | 91.7 | 5.2 |
Powertrain Options
The Mercedes E-Class LWB is offered with three engine choices, all paired with a 9-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox and a 48V mild-hybrid system that adds an extra 23hp boost:
-
E200 – 204hp, 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbo-petrol
-
E220d – 197hp, 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel (only diesel option in the lineup)
-
E450 AMG Line – 381hp, 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder turbo-petrol with 4Matic AWD
The E450 AMG Line stands out as the most powerful and performance-oriented version in the range.
New Colour Option
To mark nearly a year since the launch of the current-gen E-Class (introduced on October 9, 2024), Mercedes-Benz has also rolled out a fresh Verde Silver exterior paint option. This joins the existing palette of Graphite Grey, High-Tech Silver, Nautic Blue, and Obsidian Black.
Takeaway
With the revised GST bringing substantial price cuts and the addition of a new paint shade, the Mercedes E-Class LWB has become an even stronger contender in India’s luxury sedan market. For buyers eyeing a blend of comfort, tech, and performance, this is the most affordable time yet to bring home the German luxury sedan.
