Mercedes-Benz is all set to make waves at the Auto Expo 2025, taking place at Hall No. 4 of Bharat Mandapam. Their pavilion, aptly named the Arena of Desire, promises a dazzling display of ultra-luxury and sporty AMG models, with a strong emphasis on electric vehicles. This showcase highlights the brand’s bold vision for innovation, sustainability, and style.
One of the stars of the show is the Concept CLA Class, a preview of the next-generation CLA sedan set to launch next year. Built on Mercedes’ MMA architecture, this sleek concept car is around 4.6 meters long and sits on stunning 21-inch wheels. Its design features smooth, flowing lines, along with the classic long-hood and compact-boot look that Mercedes is known for.
Inside, the Concept CLA Class boasts a cutting-edge super-screen interface that takes over most of the car’s controls. While the concept car shows a strict four-seat layout, the production version is expected to offer more seating space. What makes this platform exciting is its versatility—it’s designed to support not just electric vehicles but also internal combustion engine (ICE) models, MPVs, and SUVs, all of which will likely carry the ‘A’ series badge.
The legendary G-Class is entering the electric era with the G580 EQ Technology. This new EV version retains the rugged charm of the original but brings modern performance to the table. With a range of 470 km on a full charge, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in under five seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h.
One of its coolest features is the ability to perform tank turns, making it incredibly nimble despite its size. The G580 EQ Technology is set to launch in India on 9 January 2025, where Mercedes will also unveil its EV and ICE roadmap for the year. Pre-bookings, which began on 9 July 2024, have already generated excitement among fans of the brand.
If exclusivity is what you’re after, the EQS Maybach SUV 680 Night Series is the one to watch. This special edition takes the already luxurious EQS Maybach to the next level with an all-black theme inside and out. It’s the perfect blend of modern design and timeless luxury, catering to those who want their car to stand out in every way.
Mercedes-Benz’s Arena of Desire is shaping up to be one of the highlights of the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. With its focus on innovation, luxury, and sustainable technology, the lineup is a testament to Mercedes’ dedication to pushing boundaries while staying true to its heritage. Whether you’re a fan of bold EVs, timeless designs, or unparalleled comfort, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.
