Mercedes unravels its new E-Class

The new E-Class comes with a 3.5 litre V-6 petrol engine, which would be locally assembled here.

The company has so far sold a total of 11,000 units of the existing E-Class in the country.
Mercedes Benz India had last month launched a special edition of its sedan C-Class also in an attempt to boost sales.

Earlier the company had projected a dip in sales this year compared with 2008. However, it expects to register impressive growth next year onwards.

Mercedes Benz India Managing Director and CEO Wilfried Aulbur had said this year the company would be lagging a little behind than its sales in 2008.

Last year Mercedes Benz India had sold 3,625 units in the Indian market.
