Mercedes-Benz Confirms V-Class To Launch on 3 March in India

• Launch Date: March 3
• Segment: Luxury MPV
• Market History: Previously sold in India from 2019 to 2022
• Target Audience: Luxury buyers and corporate fleets requiring high-capacity premium transport

Mercedes-Benz has officially announced the return of the V-Class luxury MPV to India, with the launch set for March 3, 2026. After a three-year hiatus following its discontinuation in 2022, the V-Class returns to cater to the growing demand for ultra-luxury multi-purpose vehicles. It will be a key addition to the brand’s “Top-End Vehicle” (TEV) strategy in the country.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class Strategic Market Entry

The luxury MPV segment has seen a significant rise in interest from corporate fleets and high-net-worth individuals who prioritize chauffeur-driven comfort. By re-introducing the V-Class, Mercedes-Benz aims to reclaim market share in a niche currently dominated by the Toyota Vellfire.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class Expected Specifications and Pricing

The 2026 V-Class is expected to feature refined aesthetics and an upgraded cabin. Notable updates likely include the latest MBUX infotainment system with dual 12.3-inch displays, multi-zone climate control, and enhanced ADAS safety features. Under the hood, it is expected to retain a capable diesel powertrain, likely the 2.0L engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
