The country's largest luxury car maker, Mercedes-Benz India has launched a refreshed version of its highest selling luxury sedan in its portfolio, the E-Class. Christened as the ‘Edition E', this luxury sedan marks the 20 years of the start of production of the famed E-Class, which has the unique distinction of being the first luxury car to be ‘Made in India'.

The E-Class also carries the accomplishment of being the highest selling luxury sedan in the country, with more than 32,000 units on Indian roads.

The luxury sedan was launched by Roland Folger, Managing Director and CEO, Mercedes Benz India and Piyush Arora, Executive Director, Operations, Mercedes-Benz India at the company's Chakan plant.
