I started looking at this car in 2002 when it was around 24-25 lakhs. I could not afford it then. I am still looking at it now. It's around 70 lakhs and I still cannot afford it now. I am a victim of inflation and the cars price has grown more rapidly than my salary.
Why no ventilated seats Merc??? In india it is a must for any Car that has a price tag of 20Lac+ currently I don't have ventilated seats in my car and when I seat in a car that has the feature I understand what I am missing in life.

2011-2014 C Class looked the best. It still does. Loved how understatedly elegant it was unlike the newer ones all flamboyant
There are plenty of car review sites but i always come back to the auto car for the final verdict. Within 10 minutes compact review. After US guy Doug DeMuro, a detailed analysis channel with high end cars I like auto car. One thing to mention is her dress code matching interior. Great 👍
I do not wanna complain on the features which are missing in this car.Currently I can’t afford this. the day when I am financially capable enough to buy this then I’ll complain and judge about missing features. However I am big fan of German sedan and your reviews as well.

You’ll get there soon! Keep yourself focused and one day you’ll have this or whichever car your heart desires, in your garage. Best wishes!
I prefer physical knobs or switches instead of the touchscreen for control
Awesome content like always.Btw it would be great if you could do a video on 2022 Mercedes Benz c class vs 2022 BMW 3 series vs 2022 Audi A4.
Ambient lighting within the s-class like air con vents look so dope. Mercedes always manage to impress us with its interiors.
The beauty is enhancing years after years!! Hope the performance too! Wooo!! Look at it's interiors man! The best got more feathers attached too!❤️🔥
None can beat Mercedes when it comes to interiors but not worth 60+ lakhs

I completely agree. Amazing looks and specially the interiors. But in my opinion, not worth it at all. In fact, I've been considering actually taking a top end Kia Seltos or something similar. I know it may sound ridiculous to many, but the space and features are really forcing me to consider. I have a family of 4.
I can see you travelling all the way from Rishikesh to Mussoorie
Does it comes with adaptive dampers ?
great cinematography in this review than the cringy shots in other reviews
I m rich enough to buy s class...or any ferrari or Lamborghini car...but i love my india more den status...so finally i booked tata punch car & ...made in india...wish me luck
Waiting for this car since mercedes announced for this new c class and so excited for C300e...😊😊😊
It looks good in blue
Guys could you please post the review of Mercedes Maybach S 680 ?
No ventilated seats?
BMW 330LI is the best for space performance & for practicality.More boot space,better engine & transmission & the all important back seat with better thigh support. Anyone??
@satyaprakasharora8785

Each tyre on 330Li costs 28k, while each tyre on C-Class will not cross 18k. BMW interiors literally melt in about 7years which does not happen in a Mercedes.
sir this demo car color cavensite blue ? please replay me
What about sound system speakers?
Mercedes has missed the trick against bmw this time. 3 series gran limousine is a far superior car in terms of practicality, space and sheer fun of driving. Mercedes cabin is more appealing though. But overall, 3 series is far ahead.

Hi Autocar India, As like you give information about the car at the bottom of the video, why not share the road or location information on which you drive? Every time I watch a video I wonder where are such roads. Are they really exist in India? OK she mentioned this time it is between Dehradun and Masoori. By the way the aerial shots are stunning. Thanks for the upload.
First comment- Amazing work by Merc
The C300d has 265hp and 550Nm of torque and the E350d has 282hp and 600Nm torque...... Now the E class has to step up it's game lol

doesn't matter . Both are zippy enough but the e class is way more upscale
Please do a C220d vs 320Ld comparison
I have a 2015 e class and seeing what I’m missing out on
I love the this AMG always good MB lovers
Superb ❤️🔥
when is it relesing
now this is tough competition for other competitors
probably I have seen the car on the way, I went to New Tehri Bike Trip on 7th May,
Are these still RWD?
Too much electronics is never good. Every thing is touch oriented. And the price is too much for a C class.
I can’t decide between the new c class and the e class ….. guys any suggestions????please
No ventilated seats, why merc do not put that stepni tire below the body
How is steering feel compared to the current 3 series? (Not just feedback but that accuracy, sharpness, telepathic feeling)? Is this as good as BMW, or as bad as Audi, or in the middle?
Wow very nice
Missing mannual AC controls mannual buttons 😒 now its like using Tab
What does everyone think of the shape
🔥🔥🔥
Despite everything, it still felt less compared to the new Camry
She looks drop dead gorgeous! Going against the tide, I quite like those vertical stripes along the dashboard; mimicking a suit. The ambient lighting makes it that much more plush looking on the inside 🤩
Interiors of old merc c class or rather all mere cars were very elegant and ultra classy now merc has adopted a very futuristic approach that may suits some people taste but I'm sure many people still like old regal wooden interiors of almost all mercedes .
Class apart S class 👏
Beautiful S class baby with good engine options

It is a known fact how painful electrical component failures are in most ⭐️ cars, especially after the warranty period.These new gen cars have so much more electrical stuff to fail 😂. Moreover, why are companies bringing ADAS features to cars launched in India , might as well omit that feature and provide other features available internationally.
Safety tyre could have been placed beneath the boot space.
Boy who wrote that intro? Respect!
Please do a detailed comparison between the two 250 hp sedans- 330li and c300d. Would probably plonk my hard earned money on 1 of these 2 by year end. Want both my inner driver and my family happy.

Furthermore 330li is far more spacious and a true family car. No doubt it’s a far better overall product.
That car suits her.
No more a fan of modern Benz designs it’s something getting very simple & ordinary but luxury for sure (excluding ventilated seats absent in C class)
No remote boot opening at this price point
Winding section of road would be fun as it’s a rear wheel drive with oversteer..😃
better world design
It's literally a smaller s class wow 🤩🤩🤩
its my car🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💗
Steering controls shouldn't be touch type ever.
Merc is Apple of the car world, right?
Damn, C Class is like a Taxi for Emirates 🤣🤣🤣 Still, kudos to Merc for upping the ante of luxury felt in the cabin and Autocar India for a fantastic review as always!
BMW 3 series Gran limousine is a much better choice
testing in hills :P
Now we shall wait for Audi to launch its latest generation of audi A4 According to leaks it looks pretty good It's interior quality will obviously be better and will come with a lot more features 🤞🏻

Audi has already launched latest version of it's A4 in 2021
while this newest generation is definitely a step up to the W205 model, the W204 model (2011-2014) is the handsomest looking C-class - it really looked distinct and comfortable in its own skin - whereas these later generation ones are just seem like they're trying to much to copy S-class looks and feel (not the worst thing, but it's still going to be dubbed "poor man's s-class" which is not so flattering in any social circle i'd imagine lol).
17 inchers are perfect for India. Wish the design was a bit better.
Mercedes exterior styling has been worsening since past 3-4 years . Remember when every Class had its own distinctive styling ? Mercedes don't do that anymore 😪😴
If it has seat massaging function then you can call it baby s class
Super c is the best way
No charging ports for the rare passengers, that is not good, those are expected, and the pin stripes , they do not look good at all, it feels as if I am in a tailor shop or some fabric shop, the rest looks quite good and luxurious.
The cluster metre disolay and Dash looks very #Gimmicky and Toy like. merc Dashboard used to be very appealing and dominating in looks. and quite mature too. not anymore. makes look like 2 additional smart phones inside a car.
Like everything apart from the fact the rear lights have lost the Mercedes shape, it looks like an old Audi from the back. Looks huge for a C class mind.
apne ko bhi ye leni ki hain
I ❤Mercedes.
I hate how all modern vehicles are ditching haptic feedback for touch controls, to me that's just classing the vehicle down. The car feels like a toy!
Floored with the interiors, I ask myself, 63 lakhs for these looks. Worth it?
This new model is nice but very much overpriced, if I chance to buy in this segment then I will go for 3 series or A4 even A6 because the difference is 6-10 lakh between this c class and audi A6
Front Grill design disappointed.
looks like mercedes has done lot more cost cutting in india. . Although prices are going high this gen c200 looks more cheap and low quality.
Too much of these touch panels really don't help while driving. Not a big fan of this dash layout. Seems more like some sort ipads and tabs are laid on dash.
My only one Focus S CLASS 🔥
No seat recline function in C class !,!!! Big miss .
Nah. S60 for the win. Sad they discontinued it.
Don't you think that Mercedes should give good boot space. Practically no boot space with spare tyre.
330i for me
Still confused between 3 series m sport and this

Does no one see how ridiculously aftermarketish those alloy wheels look. Come on merc. U have one of the best alloy wheels on GLC . But seriously what is this. Reminds me of Tata harrier 1st version which had bad alloy wheels. Also still don’t understand this baby this and baby that. Every car should be unique in its way. Like at least I loved how the e class had its completely different exterior to c class and s class . Can we plz go to those unique designs again
Even the Benz is the world's class Super Luxury Car, but still we can't get it without Big Center Transmission Tunnel so that the person have always be in punishment mode.. Not only Benz but every luxury car makers, when it will change...

Dash is definitely not dashing.
Lady with great knowledge about cars, amazing communication skills, professional standards. Every wannabe blogers should learn from her.👌
Great car with modern design and infotainment system,but price is too high 1-2lakh increase is fine with the new c class I think so
Rather I would go for City Hybrid. More value for money & a perfect blend of beauty & power.
