“Continuous product innovation for customers through new products, their facelifts, and exclusive editions has been core to Mercedes-Benz’s successful product strategy in India,” said Santosh Iyer, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.
“GLE and GLS are undisputed segment leaders in the luxury SUV category in India, elevating India into Mercedes-Benz’s top global markets for these SUVs. The introduction of the ‘Night Edition’ with bespoke design, curated interiors, exclusive appointments and a sharper focus on personalization, makes the SUVs highly exclusive and unmatched in appeal,” he added.

The launch comes as luxury automakers increasingly introduce limited-edition and customisation-focused products in India to cater to affluent buyers seeking exclusivity and differentiated ownership experiences.
