The top-trim Toyota Innova Hycross costs Rs. 40.13 lakh (on-road, Mumbai), which is a lot of money, but there’s one Mercedes out there that’s been modified to spoil you with utmost luxury, at a price tag that’s cheaper than the above-mentioned Innova Hycross. This is one of the most interesting options in the market with an intriguing price tag.
Luxury Car At The Price Of An Innova
The MPV in question is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz V220d that’s been loaded with aftermarket customisations ranging from Rs. 15-20 lakh!
The list of modifications hasn’t been specified, but what our eyes could make out of the video posted by this New Delhi-based used-car dealer, is that the exterior has been altered with an impressive Maybach Kit. And for most, this might be enough to attract them, but the interior is even more impressive.
The interior keeps up with the luxury brand badge on the bonnet; it resembles a proper lounge in the interior that gets two massaging recliner seats with headrests that have the Maybach logo, a big screen spanning across the width of the MPV with speakers attached to either side, and black curtains draping every window in the rear.
The car is 9 years old (based on the details mentioned in the video), but Mercedes-Benz never sold the V-Class in India till 2019, so this is likely a private import for an Embassy or an individual. The dealer claims they can deliver and finance the car pan-India.

Here’s all the details provided by the dealer:

Now let’s talk about the financials; you can drive this car home for just Rs. 34.50 lakhs. That’s Rs. 5.63 lakh cheaper than the ZX(O) (top) variant of the Hycross. This is the ultimate bargain for someone considering the Hycross, as it cannot compete with the luxury this MPV offers.
Used Luxury Car: What MotorOctane Says
At this price, this V220d has a value proposition no other new car can offer. But since it’s a private import, you will need to be extra careful with the mechanics you choose, as authorised Mercedes-Benz service centres may refuse to service it. It’s recommended that you set aside a separate budget for any unforeseen repairs or issues you may need to fix right after you purchase the car.
