If there’s one man in India who knows how to travel in style like a king, it’s Shahrukh Khan. The Badshah of Bollywood has added another new gem to his already luxurious automotive empire, the all-new Mercedes-Benz V-Class luxury MPV, which is priced at Rs 1.40 crore. The gleaming Obsidian Black beauty was spotted parked outside SRK’s temporary residence, Pooja Casa, confirming what fans and car enthusiasts had been talking about for days.
Shahrukh Khan adds Rs 1.40 crore Mercedes-Benz V-Class luxury MPV to his amazing garage
Khan, who is currently staying at Pooja Casa while his iconic Bandra bungalow Mannat undergoes renovation, was seen with his renowned interior designer and wife Gauri Khan at the time of the delivery, noting that the V-Class markets itself as a “private suite on wheels”. With Gauri’s impeccable taste in luxury spaces, it’s no surprise that the couple was drawn to this masterpiece of German engineering.
Interestingly, SRK has joined an exclusive club of early adopters of this newly launched MPV in India. Cricketer Hardik Pandya and his girlfriend Maheeka Sharma were among the first in the country to take delivery of the V-Class, making Shahrukh one of the early buyers of the car that is already being dubbed India’s most desirable luxury people-mover. Bookings for the model began in early March, and deliveries began at the end of the month, making SRK’s acquisition one of the earliest in the country.
So, what exactly will Rs 1.40 crore get you? As it turns out, quite a bit. Mercedes-Benz V-Class Extra Long Wheelbase Boasting the longest wheelbase (3,430 mm) of any Mercedes passenger car, the vehicle is a technological and comfort marvel wrapped in AMG Line exterior styling. The striking new front fascia featuring a striking radiator grille and adaptive multibeam LED headlights ensures that the V-Class turns heads before you even look inside.
The cabin is available in both four- and six-seat configurations, with rear lounge seats that offer electrically adjustable recline, ventilation, heating and yes, massage function. Three-zone climate control keeps every corner of the cabin at the ideal temperature. Two integrated 12.3-inch screens handle infotainment and instrumentation duties, while a wireless charging pad, a 64-color ambient lighting system, and a 640W Burmester 15-speaker system with Dolby Atmos ensure that every trip is an event in itself. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity complete the technology package. In a word, it is extraordinary.
Safety is comprehensive, befitting a German luxury flagship. Seven airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchors, a 360-degree camera system, Active Distance Assist Distronic, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist, traffic sign recognition and driver attention monitoring are all standard. The V-Class has received a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating.
The V-Class slots in between Rs 30 crore and Rs 50 crore for SRK’s famous garage score, making it an unusually practical acquisition for a man whose collection reportedly includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. At Rs 1.40 crore, it is arguably the most ‘accessible’ vehicle in their collection, but what it lacks in exclusivity it more than makes up for in on-board comfort for the family and people around.
On the professional front, Shahrukh remains busy as always. He is currently busy producing his much-awaited action thriller King, directed by director Siddharth Anand and is slated for release in Christmas 2026. The film stars his daughter Suhana Khan in a pivotal role, alongside Abhishek Bachchan as the villain, and the ensemble cast includes Jackie Shroff, Deepika Padukone, Jaideep Ahlawat and Rani Mukherjee. For a man shooting one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year, there are perhaps few things better than slipping into a massage-equipped, Burmester sound-drenched cabin after a hard day on set.
