Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet First Drive Review

By Abhishek Nigam20 Jan 2017

Now the cabriolet scene isn’t too big in India and that’s a given considering majority of the year the climate isn’t feasible enough to drop the top and enjoy the weather (unless you live in the Himalayas). But then when it comes to Mercedes, it isn’t about what’s feasible or not. It’s about bringing down their entire range in the Indian market and so we now have the C-Class Cabriolet too.
