While the fifth generation C-class made its global debut last year, it has taken a while to get to India probably because of the disruptions caused by Covid-19 as well as the chip shortages. In India, the car is being launched as the C200 with a 4-cylinder 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine and as the 220d and 300d with a 4-cylinder 2-litre diesel engine that comes in two states of tune. The 300d, which we drove, uses the same 4-cylinder engine as the 220d but with 265 bhp of max power and 550 Nm of peak torque. All the three engines come with an integrated starter motor (ISG), a first for the diesel engines that can assist the internal combustion engine when required with an additional 20 bhp of power and 200 Nm of torque. The ISG also recuperates energy, refines the start-stop mechanism and helps boost fuel efficiency and works through a separate 48V battery.
