Mercedes Benz CLS Class IndiaMercedes Benz India launched the new CLS Class in India at 67.67 lakh rupees (ex-showroom Mumbai) at the Grand Hyatt hotel this afternoon.

At the C-Class facelift press conference last week, Mercedes's management hinted that at least two more launches were lined up in the following weeks and the first one has turned out to be the four-door coupe which is yet another brand shaper.

Today Mercedes Benz announced that it will launch two vehicles in India in the next few months.

IndianAutosBlog.com saw this one coming months in advance. In late August we speculated on an October release. We weren't all that far away from the actual date!
