It recently launched ninth generation variant of its E-class model in India priced at Rs. 48.08 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It has already managed to sell 130 units of its E-series model in India this year. “Last year, we sold 140 cars in October period. In October, 2009, the sales have grown up by 132 per cent to 325 units. This is an ever time record in our October sales,” Dr. Wilfried Aulbur said.

BlueEFFICIENCY technology in the new E-Class includes light, aerodynamic wheels, lower rolling resistance from the tyres, a closed underbody, reduced ride height, a redesigned front end that lowers drag by 7% and a power steering pump that is active only when the steering is turned.
