Mercedes-Benz Drops A-Class, EQA, EQB & EQE SUV to Go More Premium
Mercedes-Benz: Ahead of the arrival of the new Mercedes CLA EV in India, the company has discontinued four of its cars: the EQA, EQB, A-Class Sedan, and EQE SUV.
Mercedes Benz has discontinued the sale of four vehicles in India, namely, A-Class Sedan, EQA, QQB, and EQE SUV. These vehicles have also been removed from the official website of Mercedes Benz. Mercedes-Benz is now concentrating on luxury vehicles. The decision opens the doors for the newly launched CLA EV, which will be launched on April 24, 2026.
A-Class Limousine was launched in March 2021 and was the least expensive car from Mercedes-Benz in India. Its price range varied from ₹4.46 lakh to ₹45.92 lakh (ex-showroom). Following its discontinuation, GLA SUV became the least expensive car from Mercedes, priced around ₹51.80 lakh (ex-showroom).
The EQA was Mercedes' most affordable electric vehicle in India, with prices starting at approximately ₹66 lakh (ex-showroom). The EQB was launched in 2022 and was the company's first electric SUV with three rows of seats. The EQE SUV was launched in September 2023 and started at ₹1.39 crore (ex-showroom).
With the discontinuation of these models, Mercedes-Benz is moving away from affordable and entry-level cars. The company is now focusing on luxury cars with high-end technology, like the CLA EV. Mercedes is now aiming to establish itself as an even more premium brand.
