According to Mercedes-Benz Passion who have released the specifications, all models will be available from this year onwards sans the C300 Hybrid which will be available from 2015 onwards. The top-of-the-line C63AMG which we had detailed earlier will also be launched and available from 2015 onwards. 

The Indian market, where the C-Class remains a mainstay among buyers, will get the C200 petrol, C200 diesel, and the C220CDI,which is currently their most sold model in the C-Class range. However, we recently spoke to Eberhard Kern, CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, and he confirmed that India will only get the 2015 C-Class once it has been launched for the major LHD markets across Europe and the Americas.  On a better note, we in India can be assured that the range-topping C63AMG will arrive just a few months after its global launch.
