Petrol version comes first, costs ₹50 lakh on road...
Mercedes-Benz is signing off 2014 with the launch of the all-new C-Class. While it gave a sneak peak of the car at a tech fair in Bangalore few days ago, the official unveil happened at Delhi today.
The new C-Class 200 gets a highish price tag of ₹40.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), which should push the on-road price close to the ₹50 lakh mark. This makes it nearly as expensive as the bigger E-Class. But Merc insists this is because of the amount of car being offered. Dubbed by many as a shrunken S-Class, the smaller C does carryover a lot of design cues from the Merc flagship limo and boasts of a lot of features like touchpad to navigate the multimedia system, wood finish and luxurious seats and a plethora of safety features.
The engine is the familiar 2.0-litre petrol with 181bhp and 300Nm. This is mated to the seven-speed automatic. Car comes with paddle shifts. The C200 has an approximate top speed of 235kph and a claimed 0-100kph time of 7.3 seconds. Mercedes claims the new C200 is capable of 14.7kpl, which may not be the point of owning a C-Class, but the new one does seem to live up to its nickname of being a Baby S offering a luxury feel in a sporty package.
