- Official Debut: The German Premium Car of the Year 2026 will officially make its Indian debut on 4 November 2026.
- Delivery Schedule: Customer handovers are slated to begin from mid-November 2026 onwards.

Commenting on the landmark response, Brendon Sissing, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Mercedes-Benz India, noted that securing 650+ bookings ahead of market launch underlines the sheer desirability of the brand’s electric portfolio and its key role in driving luxury EV adoption in India.
