The EQS sedan could be the next all-electric model for India.
Mercedes-Benz launched its first all-electric SUV called the EQC in India back in October 2020. It is imported as a completely built unit (CBU), but now the carmaker is mulling local assembly of its EQ models in India.
According to Martin Schwenk, MD and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, the company will be looking into the possibility of local production.
Mercedes is also thinking of introducing more EQ models from its global portfolio. The EQS sedan could be the next all-electric model for India, although the carmaker is yet to take a final decision on that.
On the opposite side of the price spectrum are the EQA and EQB SUVs. These can slot in below the EQC, giving Indian customers a more affordable EV option in the future.
At present, the EQC is only offered in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. But, the company plans to expand into other cities in the foreseeable future.
