Why did Mercedes-Benz Drop Almost All its V8s for 2022
Major vehicles to be suspended:
The troll achieve its significance when Mercedes told its dealer, not to expect V8 engine models that rely on 8 cylinders Mercedes-GLE580 4Matic, the G550, GLS580 4Matic, and the Mercedes-AMG G63 in addition they’ll also pause 6 cylinders associated Mercedes-AMG GLC63 SUV, E63 S sedan and wagon, GLC63 S Coupe, C63 S Coupe, C63 S Cabriolet, Mercedes-AMG GT 63, and 63 S twins. And both Coupe and SUV of GLE63 S will also be paused for 2022. But the markets will see the Maybach GLS600 4Matic.
It leaves a lot of non-AMG models on the queue like the S-class, so it’s not quite a total cover-up. It’s not good news for those who’ve already ordered or were planning to order a G-class in 2022.
How did it come out?
A letter was leaked on Reddit first which was written to a dealer that says,” MBAG has to prioritize their focus on various global requirements and other important factors.
The product portfolio of the US market has been affected not only by supply chain but other challenges too”. It was mentioned to make withdrawals for the customers who’ve already ordered, so it’s not mentioned when it will be restarted or continue.
The shortage of chips on the global market might be one of the reasons for this decision. Mercedes has suspended the US-bound models because of business reasons to cater to demands in Europe, and some other times as well.
With other things, it is also important how Mercedes is going to cope up with all non-V8 offerings in the market when the market is going towards electrification. The battery-electric EQS Sedan will be joining other electric models that are coming, by the end of this year. This will also level up the prices of V8 models, most specifically G-class. Let’s wait for the official news from Mercedes itself.
