The Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6, a fully electric concept car first unveiled by the brand 7 years ago, was recently showcased at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai. At the event, Mercedes-Benz also announced a discount voucher of up to Rs 5 lakh for all its existing customers on their purchase of a new electric vehicle. The brand will also cover half of the road tax amount for buyers of its EVs, in states that have imposed road tax on battery-powered models. Aside from this, the brand also announced a tie-up with the NMACC, which is where it will showcase different models in the coming months. The Vision 6 will be put on display at the location for the next 3 months.
