Mercedes-AMG E53 Cabriolet Deliveries Begin in India

Mercedes-Benz India launched the AMG E53 Cabriolet in January this year for Rs 1.30 crore (ex-showroom). The premium auto manufacturer has now commenced the deliveries of the sport sedan in the Indian market. According to a senior company official, Mercedes-Benz expects India to be its fastest-growing market globally, repeating the feat it achieved last year. Mercedes-Benz India, which had planned to launch ten new products this year, is delaying some of them until the second and third quarters of 2023 (calendar year) because of supply chain limitations, in order to avoid further increasing the waiting period for its products. The carmaker increased its sales by 41 per cent to 15,822 units in 2022, up from 11,242 units in 2021. Its previous high sales totaled 15,583 units in 2018. Now, let's get back to taking a closer look at all the relevant details about the new AMG E53 Cabriolet.
