• To be available in C200, C220D, and C300D variants. 

• It’s longer, wider and has a longer wheelbase than the existing C-Class. 

• To be powered by 2-litre turbo-petrol and diesel engines, in different states of tune.

Mercedes is going to launch the new-generation C-Class on May 10. Its exclusive pre-bookings are open till April 30 for a token amount of Rs 50,000 but only for existing Mercedes Benz customers. Non Merc customers can then book the sedan from May 1 onwards. 

The bookings are currently open for the C200 and the top-end C300D variants, while the same for the C220D will commence later. 

The new C-Class gets a complete generation upgrade, which completely revamps its exterior styling. It now looks inspired by the S-Class with similar front profile, LED headlamps, and a rather clean side profile. The sedan has grown 65mm longer, 10mm wider, and its wheelbase has also been extended by 25mm. 

The cabin also receives a fresh life, a clear resemblance to its flashier sibling, the S-Class. The 2022 C-Class features a larger (choice of 10.25-inch or 11.9-inch) centrally-placed touchscreen infotainment with the second-gen MBUX infotainment system and a 12.3-inch fully digital driver’s display. 

The new Mercedes Benz C-Class is expected to be powered by 2-litre turbo-petrol and diesel engines, in different states of tune. All the engines will be paired to a 9-speed automatic gearbox as standard. 

The new Mercedes Benz C-Class is expected to retail from around Rs 55 lakh, demanding a premium over its current price range of Rs 50 lakh to Rs 70.66 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rival the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Jaguar XE and the Volvo S60.
