The German luxury carmaker, Mercedes-Benz at the beginning of 2022 confirmed the entry of two new sedans in the market, the Maybach S580 and the 2022 Mercedes C-Class. This article will talk about the upcoming C-Class that is expected to be launched in May.
Mercedes has a very premium market to target. That said, the existing C-Class is already out of stock and the upcoming one is also expected to follow its predecessor's footsteps. The fifth-generation C-Class was unveiled in the international markets almost a year ago. The flagship sedan is now about to make its entry in India.
