Class sedan facelift launched

Mercedes-Benz has launched the 2012 C-Class in India. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class range starts from Rs 29.79 lakh ex-showroom for the petrol version and Rs 32.30 lakh for the diesel variant. The new C-Class made its worldwide debut long back but its only now that Mercedes-Benz has brought the 2012 version to India. The car will be available with two engine options out of which the diesel would be the most preferred, without doubt.

On the exterior, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class gets new set of headlights and a redesigned front bumper. The rear end has remained unchanged apart from the added LED treatment. On the inside, the car gets the latest dashboard design that has been the trademark of Mercedes cars for this generation. The four-spoke steering wheel feels nice and chunky and the edgy design does standout making the interior a nice place to be in.

The new C-Class get the latest from Mercedes’ closet including PARKTRONIC parking guidance system, Multi-functional steering wheel, Media Interface and ATTENTION ASSIST. Intelligent Headlights with washers are standard with LED daytime running lights and a panoramic sun-roof. New 17 inch alloys complete the exterior aesthetic package. Both diesel as well as petrol models come in the AVANTGARDE trim giving customers a choice of four different leathers and trim options.

Alongwith the mainstream models of the C-Class, Mercedes-Benz India will also offer the uber-hot, AMG tuned C-Class. The C63 AMG gets an aggressive styling package on the exterior and an equally sporty interior. The 6.2 litre V8 is the party piece though and churns out 457 thundering horsepowers and 600 torques via Mercedes’ 7G-Tronic automatic transmission.
