Mercedes-Benz India Delivers 600 Cars On Dhanteras; Opens Bookings For New-Gen GLE

The festive season this year is a good one for Mercedes-Benz India. The German luxury car manufacturer delivered 600 units on occasion of Dhanteras this year with more than 250 cars delivered in Delhi NCR alone, creating a new record of sorts. The key markets for Mercedes-Benz have been Mumbai, Pune, Gujarat, Kolkata, Delhi NCR and Punjab. Mercedes registered delivery of 200+ cars on Dussehra and Navratri in Mumbai and Gujarat regions. Along with delivering a record number of cars, Mercedes has announced that it has completely sold out its stock of the current generation of the GLE SUV. This comes just a few months before the launch of the new-generation GLE and the company has already started taking bookings for the SUV. The company has confirmed it will launch the new generation of the GLE right before the 2020 Auto Expo.
