Mercedes-Benz dazzled with its Maybach EQS SUV and Concept CLA Class, while Porsche turned heads with the Macan BEV and an upgraded Taycan. With big plans for India, both brands are steering luxury towards an all-electric future.

Porsche Taycan Sport Saloon
The Taycan is back with a bang. With prices starting at Rs 1.89 crore and going up to ₹2.53 crore, the updated Taycan is faster, sleeker, and ready to set new benchmarks for electric sports cars.
Porsche isn’t just bringing cars—it’s expanding its footprint. With three new Porsche Centres opening in Indore, Jaipur, and Lucknow, the brand is going all-in on India. “With Pune and Hyderabad operations having commenced last year, we are committed to maintaining this momentum through 2025,” said Porsche India Brand Director Manolito Vujicic.
Mercedes-Benz is celebrating three decades of driving luxury in India. With over 100 touch points across 50+ cities, the brand has cemented itself as a leader in the segment. Its Chakan production facility near Pune continues to power its journey in the Indian market.
