The C 300 Cabriolet is based on the C-Class Coupe. At the front, the grille is flanked by sweptback LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs. The front bumper features a wide air dam with vents on either side. At the rear, it has wraparound LED tail lights and a dual-tone bumper with twin chrome exhausts. The C 300 Cabriolet comes with a fabric roof and rides on 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels.

On the inside, it comes with dual-tone interiors with electric seats and an AIRCAP system which is claimed to reduce air turbulence inside the cabin when the roof is down. The centre console houses a 10.25-inch infotainment system which has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity options. The car comes with a 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a twin-pod instrument cluster. Mercedes offers an optional 64 colour ambient lighting package along with open-pore walnut wood trim.

Kudos to Mercedes for bringing in every model in their book BUT, I am losing track about what was launched on a week to week basis!

Just a summation of various parts that they have in their bin. Looks very drab and boring IMO. Cant wait for the next design language that Mercedes is going to adopt.
This one has been used over and over again on every Model alphabet that MB has.

At about 75 - 78 Lac on-road it is still a C class machine !

Does it command such a price tag?

Overpriced & impractical. Except on really early mornings or late nights - and that too just like once in 3 months - I have never spotted any open top luxury car. Our weather & high crime rate make open top motoring avoidable. Also, women HATE being driven in an open car as it messes up their hair, face, makeup & attire. You could say that the rich of India prefer their air-conditioned cabins.

+1. That too a cabriolet in India? Not me, thanks. For that price I can get two Skoda Octavia vRS along with enough to spare for mods, and still save lot of money.
