Upcoming Mercedes-Benz launches in India in 2026

Mercedes-Benz has outlined two models for India in 2026, the CLA EV sedan and the G-Class Cabriolet. Both models will launch at different points during the year, with the CLA expected in the first half and the G-Class Cabriolet towards the end of 2026. Here are the details we know so far.

  1. 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA EV will debut Merc’s MB.OS platform and get 792km range
  2. G-Class Cabriolet is expected to be offered in electric, petrol and diesel powertrains

2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA EV

Expected to launch in H1 2026 at an estimated price of Rs 70 lakh

Mercedes will bring back the CLA nameplate, and this time in EV guise. The svelte, coupe-like sedan retains its character in terms of design and showcases the brand’s latest design language. Built on the new EV-first MMA architecture, which can also underpin ICE and hybrid models, the new CLA gets a longer wheelbase than before; however, the rear seat remains compromised in space. What the CLA will rely on is a digitally advanced interior that debuts Mercedes’s new MB.OS infotainment platform and a lounge-like design and vibe. The 85kWh NMC battery pack gets a claimed range of 792km (WLTP cycle), with 272hp on tap and power going to the rear wheels. The 2026 CLA EV is expected to launch in the first half of 2026 at approximately Rs 70 lakh.

2026 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Cabriolet

Expected to launch by Q4 of 2026 at an estimated price of up to Rs 4 crore

Given the G-Wagen’s popularity in India and the fact that we’ve received almost every iteration of the current generation, the upcoming G-Class Cabriolet will most likely arrive here. The camouflaged drop-top G is currently undergoing testing in Austria and will be fully revealed towards the end of next year. It will feature a powered fabric soft-top that retracts to reveal the entire passenger compartment and even the boot – whether it gets any form of roll cage remains to be seen. 

Despite the camouflage on the front and rear, it’s unlikely that Mercedes will make any major changes to the iconic G-Class design. Expect the G Cabrio to offer both electric 116kWh and 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol ICE powertrains, and it may even come in AMG and diesel guises. The G-Class Cabriolet is expected to launch later in the fourth quarter of 2026 at around Rs 4 crore.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise.

Honda Amaze diesel discontinued ahead of RDE norms implementation

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
