New Mercedes C-Class India launch on Nov 25, 2014

• Mercedes-Benz has officially confirmed that the new C-Class sedan will be launched in India on November 25, this year.

• The new C-Class, Mercedes’ global best-seller was officially unveiled earlier this year at the Detroit motor show. Underpinning the C-class is the new lightweight modular rear-drive MRA (Mercedes Rear-drive Architecture) platform that will be fitted in all the core rear-drive models from the C-class and above, including sedans and SUVs.

• The new C-class is 4686mm long, 1810mm wide and 1442mm high, the length and width growing by 95mm and 40mm respectively over the current car, and the height reducing by 5mm. The wheelbase is up by 80mm to 2840mm.
• The increase in size is due to the recent arrival of the CLA in Mercedes’s global line-up, a model that closely matches the outgoing C-class in length. The fifth-generation C-class has been made longer and wider to distance itself from the Mercedes-Benz CLA four-door coupé that will be launched in India soon.
