Luxury Cars Get Pricier: Mercedes-Benz, BMW Hike Prices 2-3% from Jan 1, 2026

• Mercedes-Benz and BMW will increase car prices by 2-3% from January 1, 2026.
• The price hike is primarily due to the weakening Indian Rupee against the Euro, raising import costs.
• This marks the first price adjustment by these brands since the GST cut in September 2025.
• Despite currency challenges, Mercedes-Benz reported strong festive sales, and BMW saw 6% growth in Oct-Nov 2025.
• Further depreciation of the Rupee against the Dollar and Yuan could lead to more price increases for imported parts.

Why It Matters: Mercedes-Benz and BMW luxury cars will be 2-3% costlier from Jan 1, 2026, due to Rupee depreciation.
