More than 60 Mercedes-Benz models are more expensive
Average price increase of $8700, or more than seven per cent
GLE53 goes up by more than $20,000
Mercedes-Benz has raised prices across dozens of new models in recent weeks.
A total of 62 Mercedes vehicles have gone up by an average of 7.34 per cent, from the A180 hatchback to the Maybach GLS600.
The smallest increase by cost belongs to the GLA200, which went up by $3500 to $61,000 before on-road costs.
The greatest change was applied to the AMG GLE53 wagon, which will now set buyers back $184,300 before on-road costs – a total hike of $20,692, or 12.65 per cent.
Despite the ultra-luxury Maybach GLS600 rising by $19,524, the car’s price tag of $380,200 plus on-roads meant it had the smallest change in percentage terms, increasing by 5.41 per cent.
On average, Mercedes-Benz has upped its prices by $8703.74.

While Mercedes-Benz Australia wouldn’t comment on specific reasons for the mass increase, a spokesperson told WhichCar: “Pricing is a dynamic topic influenced by a wide range of factors, and each of our vehicle variants is assessed and adjusted individually from time to time.”
Australia's Consumer Price Inflation rose by 3.8 per cent in July, according to the Reserve Bank of Australia, while the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar and the Euro has fluctuated between €0.60 and €0.66 over the past 12 months.
Mercedes’ price increase comes a month after Audi introduced its own price changes – with 61 Audi models going up by an average of 1.95 per cent, compared with an average of 7.34 per cent across 62 Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
