Mercedes-Benz India has given some extra love to the GLC and C-Class. These 2024 models come with significant enhancements in powertrain, comfort, convenience, technology, and safety.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class range is now available in three variants: C 200 petrol, C 220d diesel, and the top-tier C 300 AMG Line petrol.
The C 300 AMG Line replaces the C 300d, featuring a petrol engine, a new exterior design and a new interior styling called Night Package, Burmester 3D surround sound, digital lights, keyless-go comfort package, augmented reality navigation, and blind spot assist. Additionally, the C 300 introduces new colour options: Sodalite Blue and Manufaktur Patagonia Red.
The new M254 petrol engine is exclusive to C 300 AMG line; a 2.0-litre petrol engine with 254 bhp and 40.78 kgm of torque, paired to a 9-speed automatic transmission. This is slightly lesser than the diesel it replaces, with 261 bhp and 55 kgm of torque, and it also reaches 100 kph in 6 seconds, which is just 0.3 seconds slower. However, for a family car, these numbers are impressive!

The C 200 and C 220d variants also feature significant updates, such as climatized front seats, a 360-degree camera, fast-charging USB-C ports that can support 100W fast charging, digital key handover, and adaptive high beam assist. The new Sodalite Blue colour replaces the previous Cavansite Blue in these models.
