Luxury car maker Mercedes Benz India on Wednesday introduced the C Class 250 d sedan in the mid - size luxury segment and announced its local production.
"The all new C - Class completely redefined the mid - size luxury sedan segment in India and created for itself a new territory of supremacy, " Roland Folger, MD and CEO of Mercedes Benz India, said in a statement.
Priced at Rs. 44. 36 lakh (ex - showroom Pune), the sedan is equipped with 9G - TRONIC transmission and a 2, 142 cc diesel engine capable of producing 500 Nm of torque with a speed of 0 - 100 km per hour in 6. 6 seconds.

Mercedes Benz already sells C 200 and C 220 models under the C Class and has commenced local production of 250 d to catch up with the demand and cut down the waiting period.
"The overwhelming response for the new C - Class drove us to commence local manufacturing of the C 250 d simultaneously with its introduction in India, " added Folger.
