The C-Class combines a potent 254bhp engine with strong tech integration and comfort-first cabin design, making it a compelling choice for buyers seeking German premium credentials. At ₹61.2 lakh, it's positioned aggressively against rivals, though running costs and modest boot space demand realistic ownership expectations.
