Mercedes-Benz started series production of the fifth-gen C-Class in India in April and revealed the India-spec sedan in early May. It has now launched the new C-Class and is offering it in three trims: C200, C220d, and C300d.
Here’s a look at its variant-wise pricing:

Price |
C200 |

C220d |

C300d |

It gets sharper LED headlights with LED DRLs, a traditional Mercedes-Benz-like grille, and two-piece LED taillights. It now has smooth and cleaner curves and creases and rides on 5-spoke alloy wheels.
The fifth-gen has grown in size compared to its previous iteration and is now 65mm longer, 10mm wider, and has a 25mm longer wheelbase as well. It even has an improved ground clearance of 7mm.
The new C-Class has multiple S-Class references inside its cabin as well including the similarly styled centre console and the vertically placed 11.9-inch touchscreen system with the latest MBUX software. That said, the hyperscreen is exclusive to the more premium sedan.
Mercedes-Benz has equipped the new C-Class with a digital driver’s display, ambient lighting, a large sunroof, and a Burmester sound system. The sedan also comes with some basic Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) features.
