Internationally, there is an all-new diesel engine present but it is not sure if it will come to the Indian markets or not. If not, then it will continue with the 2.2-litre four cylinder turbocharged diesel engine which makes 160 bhp on tap and 380 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
We expect that the Mercedes V-Class Elite is expected to be priced at Rs 90 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). As of now, there is no direct competition to the V-Class or the V-Class Elite, but with the launch of Toyota Vellfire soon, we can see if the Vellfire turns heads or not.
