    The C300d is the complete package. The interiors are absolutely stunning and the engine is just as sublime. The 300d with its Hybrid setup is just perfect! The best or nothing. Indeed!
    Refined inside out. Truly. The only letdown is the fact that the C,E and S all look too similar. A very appealing product for all those looking for a no nonsense luxury Diesel sedan. 🌟

    No matter how much more popular EVs, Hybrids and other forms of less emission vehicles are becoming popular, ICE vehicles have their own charm... The roar of petrol and diesel engines in some vehicles is absolutely soothing to an enthusiast... Mid range and top end are also way better than EVs... Its very sad for a Petrolhead to see the fall of ICE 😭😭😭 But we need to accept facts...

    • @GbMuthu
      @GbMuthu ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The ICE is not going anywhere. At least not in the near future. Its shortcomings are getting ironed out though. Like its differential power and torque delivery character. With a 20 hp electric motor onboard, lags from the turbo & torque converter can be completely ruled out.
      In short, this car would be tons of fun to drive.
      I'm hoping that soon this technology will trickle down to the point where the electric motor can handle stalling speeds and allow the ICE to be directly connected to a CVT. Eliminating the need for a torque converter in the drivetrain.

    • @thunderstrom7157
      @thunderstrom7157 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes I accept your opinion but the fact is ic engine take more time to deliver performance and efficency while ev and hybrid in starting age and give satisy...in future it change the driving experience so we accept the new technology as u already know how smartphone evolve 😀

    Mercedes was and still is the car company that can make diesels sporty, even in back in early 2000s, some of their E class diesel variants in the international markets were cheaper (slightly), faster to 0-100kmph, obviously frugal, and better torque-Glad to see they still maintain that and also they know the Indian market, people will buy fast cars if presented with a good mileage, and that gives us the C300d

    I used to had an old version of c200 and I was really in pain because of the ground clearance. I never counted how many times I’ve scraped my car from bottom. Mercedes have top notch cars and everything. But it’s not suitable for Indian roads. Rather buy compact SUV and in comparison buy GLA 200 GLA 220 d with a better ground clearance.

    Surprised why Merc picked a diesel motor as the top end motor...The 300 in gasoline would have made more sense coz with the mild hybrid tech the fuel economy would have been good...Some missing features for this top spec... HUD, Ventilated seats are glaring omissions

    • @prabhatsourya3883
      @prabhatsourya3883 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The main concern is the ground clearance. BMW M340i has lower suspension compared to the regular 3 series, which could ground out on speed breakers. Also, BMW has extremely annoying warning buzzers of 120 km/hr speed limits, which makes it a frustrating experience to drive.

    • @kartikay9122
