Check Out the Lineup of Mercedes Cars at Auto Expo 2016
Riding high on the back of a hugely successful 2015 campaign, Mercedes-Benz India is looking to start 2016 where it left off. Having already launched the GLE 450 AMG Coupe in January, MBIL heads to the 2016 Auto Expo with a handful of new cars. A new SUV and a cabriolet have made their debut the event, but Mercedes-Benz’s pavilion has a lot more to look forward to.

Here’s the lowdown on Mercedes Cars at Auto Expo 2016 with expected launch dates, prices and specifications.
