The luxury personal mobility segment in India just hit a new high-water mark.
At the launch event in Mumbai on Monday, Saif Ali Khan and Gauri Khan emerged from Mercedes-Benz's all-new V-Class Extra-Long Wheelbase (LWB), a vehicle designed not just as a mode of transport but as a serene "oasis of personal space" for India's power elite.
The launch also had Nimrat Kaur, who hosted a discussion between the actor Saif and the producer Gauri Khan.
This glamorous debut perfectly complemented the vehicle's positioning as the ultimate luxury MPV for trendsetters and affluent families.
A major milestone Mercedes-Benz announced was that the V-Class will now be locally produced at their world-class facility in Chakan, near Pune, making it the second product, following the Mercedes-Maybach GLS, to begin local production this year.

The Exterior
The V-Class is available for booking at an introductory price starting at Rs. 1.4 crore (ex-showroom, all India), on payment of Rs 5 lakh.
Unrivalled Interior Luxury
The V-Class is designed to function as a "Private Suite" that transforms every journey into a curated experience.
The 6-seat layout features a sophisticated configuration designed for maximum freedom and comfort.
While the second row features "First-Class" luxury seats with massage and calf support, the third row breaks new ground as the first in its segment to offer ventilated seats.
For business meetings or family chats, the 2nd row seats can be configured to face the third row, creating a mobile lounge.
Every row is equipped with individual wireless charging pads.
The driver's cockpit features a refined, sophisticated black look with a high-tech MBUX touch display and trackpad.
The cabin also gets a 64-colour ambient lighting and a 15-speaker Burmester® surround sound system with Dolby Atmos.
The boot space is usable even with the last row up.
The Drivetrains
For the first time in India, the V-Class debuts a petrol engine alongside its diesel counterpart.
Both the 170 kW petrol (with mild-hybrid tech) and the 174 kW diesel are mated to a 9G-TRONIC transmission.
For the first time... India Specific AIRMATIC suspension will be offered on both powertrains, specifically developed to handle Indian road conditions.
The V Class also boasts to be the safest vehicle in its segment, featuring 7 standard airbags (extending from A to D pillars) and a suite of assists, including Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and a 360 degree camera.
A Suite for the Whole Family (Including Pets)
The launch ended on a charming note with the introduction of Lhasa Apsos and Golden Retrievers.
This highlighted the V-Class as the perfect companion for Indian families who prefer travelling in luxury with their pets, ensuring that every member of the household, furry ones included, travels in the lap of luxury.
