The Indian automobile market is finally going to see the launch of Mercedes Benz GLS in India on the 17th of June 2020. The German Automaker had originally planned to launch the flagship SUV in the first quarter of 2020 but now it is expected to get launched on the 17th of June 2020. This delay can be attributed to the Coronavirus Pandemic sweeping across the globe.
