Looks good on the outside and is gorgeous on the inside. For me, the biggest change are Sirish's comments on ride quality, engine and gearbox combo performance. The earlier 7 speed GB seemed sluggish ( atleast in the E200) and they seemed to have got this right. Curious to know how the 1.5 litre turbo petrol is, to drive. And of course, it will come down to pricing .

Man, IMO, 1.5 liter engines are just a big no-no, especially at this price point. Will be very interesting to see its pricing, and how it stacks up against the 3 and 3 LWB
@@soumenb22 the 340i definitely comes into the discussion, but even the 330i is no slouch. Should blow these Merc petrol engines out of the water performance wise, but lose a little in terms of mileage. Fair trade-off
Displacement is not the answer to performance and comfort. Ask Koenigsegg who put a 2 litre engine into a hypercar costing millions! As long as the power delivery and refinement is good the ones buying it have no issues
@@the90s.spiritto each his own. In my opinion, luxury is not just refinement, but power on tap, lurking below the surface. Mercedes has a 2.0 liter turbo petrol internationally for exactly that. They simply didn’t want to bring it here for whatever reasons (cost, I guess). On the face of it, this engine is merely adequate for the class. BMW, Audi, Jaguar…none of them are offering or offered 1.5 liter engines in this class (at least here). And the Koenigsegg argument holds no water on two grounds; one, it’s not a mainstream engine. It’s built for hyper car performance, and that tech is simply not accessible to the masses. Second, for every example like that which debunks displacement as a key parameter, multiple examples of large displacement engines abound. That Koenigsegg engine is niche. It might be the future, but it’s not representative of the present. It’s a massive outlier. No one (that I know of) is complaining about a 2.0 engine in the A45s, and saying give us more. That’s because it has some punch, and then much more. I’m not saying that’s the tune they should have got the C class in, but it should have had a 2.0 liter engine putting out about 250 BHP as an option. And I will cling onto that conviction with bleeding fingernails. Peace out.

Beautiful car but low ground clearance results in horrible grazing of the underbelly over mid/large speedbreakers - a fact not mentioned by any of the reviewers.
Hi Evo Team, Please Please Please reply to this: Superb L&K 2022 or Mercedes Benz C200 2022 model which one to put your hard earned money considering for long term usability at least for 10 years. Thanks 😊
360 cameras are now becoming standard in non luxury brands. Also ADAS. Mercedes India product planners need to get out of old fashioned thinking. The move to EV will bring further challenges in terms of visual / radar / software features.
What do you think of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class? We’d love to know what you think!

Making Indians fool. Such cars are less than 22L in USA, lol. Better buy a Maruti breeza for India. We have the worst roads.
How would you compare it with the bmw 330i / 330GL from a drivers perspective ?
Only channel with the c220d🔥 easily going to be the highest seller, can't understand why the other channels had other variants
Man, IMO, 1.5 liter engines are just a big no-no, especially at this price point. Will be very interesting to see its pricing, and how it stacks up against the 3 and 3 LWB
Agree at this price or higher budget BMW 340i. More than 300 BHP and 500 NM is desired

Man I love Evo India😂 you guys are awesome. So was the video! So is the C-class!
Love the new gen C class, but it was so so awesome and pleasing to see Mr. Adil Darukhanawala. Legend 🙏
Always await reviews from Evo ( you guys own the " Thrill of driving " Tag and do driver focused reviews ). History of C from Adil was a bonus
Such a joy to see you both on the screen doing what you love the best 👌🏼
Adil san, rear seats can only be "Uber Cool" in a Dzire 😅
Beautiful car but low ground clearance results in horrible grazing of the underbelly over mid/large speedbreakers - a fact not mentioned by any of the reviewers.
Does C-Class has stadium like sitting position because Adil Sir looks taller than Sirish Sir
Looks pretty cool overall
Personally I don't like the front grill design of the c200. . looks more A classy than C class.
Lovely content like always.Btw It would be great if you guys could do a video on 2022 Mercedes Benz class vs 2022 BMW 3 series vs 2022 Audi A4.
Octavia to Audi, 2 litre TSI, they didn't cross 200 BHP
Please do a detailed comparo between 330LI and c300d. Many people will be leaning on to buying one of the two 250hp sedans
Boss Man and Sirish.. Such a delight ❤️❤️
such a big fan of both of you, right from Boss mans and your OD days.
I didn't know Adil was in OD too. But tbh, I don't know anything about Adil at all!

Hi Evo Team,
Please Please Please reply to this: Superb L&K 2022 or Mercedes Benz C200 2022 model which one to put your hard earned money considering for long term usability at least for 10 years. Thanks 😊
So which one to choose between this car and BMW 3 series gran limousine?
merc's tech n innovation is miles ahead of bmw atm...interiors of bmw have started to look outdated now
🌹❤️⚡
💪🇮🇳 Nice video 👍👍👍 Super
Honestly ❤
Luxury redefined with a 4 speaker music system that sounds worse than bad with ZERO bass
This baby S class description is humbug. Front seats are ok but rear seats are terrible. No 360 camera, no ventilated seats .
none of the competitors give ventilated seats...but 360 camera should have been an option atleast in C300d
Very crampy
360 cameras are now becoming standard in non luxury brands. Also ADAS. Mercedes India product planners need to get out of old fashioned thinking. The move to EV will bring further challenges in terms of visual / radar / software features.
Are you critics or actors🤔
driving c 200 and explaining 220d ...r we stupid...
Audi A6 is a better option at this price point. Merc C is overpriced
❤️
The BMW 3 series gran limousine is better than this
