According to a media report, Mercedes-Benz is likely to launch the C-Class facelift in India in October 2018.



The updated C-Class made its debut at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The car gets minor exterior updates, which includes modification to the bumpers, full-LED headlights and tail lights with C-shaped LEDs. On the inside, the new model gets an optional digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment screen and a new design 3-spoke steering wheel with touchpads as well as voice-activation.



In India, the C 200 will be offered with a new 1.5-litre, turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 180 BHP @ 5,800-6,100 rpm and 280 Nm of torque @ 3,000-4,000 rpm. The C 220d will be powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine which develops 192 BHP @ 3,800 rpm and 400 Nm @ 1,600-2800 rpm. The C 300d powered by a twin-turbo diesel is expected to replace the C 250d. Both the diesel engines will be BS-VI compatible. Additionally, a C 300 petrol variant may be offered with the cabriolet.



Mercedes has also updated the AMG line up. The AMG C43 gets a revised 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 engine which makes 385 BHP @ 6,100 rpm and 520 Nm @ 2,500-5,000 rpm. Coupe versions of the AMG variants might also be introduced.

I like the facelift; the current model is so good looking and they just added a bit more youthfulness with CLA kind of treatment to the front

Agreed! The facelift looks absolutely smashing. Mercedes' designs continue to get better & better while BMW has gone all weirdo and Audi sticks to their traditional lines.

Are the engine specs of the upcoming C300 diesel available? The quoted Autocar India link says it is expected to produce around 245bhp and I wasn't able to find any details about it online either.

Internationally, Mercedes seems to have launched only the updated C300 petrol and the 3.0 litre V6 petrol for the C43 AMG version.

The age old question was "kitna deti hai?" (how many kms to the litre does the car give) but for Mercedes its "kya yeh memory seats deti hai"? (does it come with memory seats function)

The media drive is currently taking place in Luxembourg. Some of the Indian journos have been tweeting a few pics of the drive.

This is blasphemous! This just shows how customers in India get shortchanged by all of these manufacturers even though we pay double, some times 2.5x what other consumers pay.

The C220d Prime at 40 lakhs is almost 4 lakhs cheaper than the outgoing 220d Avantgarde - while it might be a lower spec trim level, thats a decent price reduction. The 300d is now the big daddy C almost 2 lakhs more than the outgoing 250d.

0-100 in 5.9 for the 300d. Suddenly this looks more appealing than the 530D.

Here is the Autocar review of the updated C class. The new engine and infotainment system with AMG touches, gives the car a edge over it's peers.
