Priced at Rs. 29 lakh, the Mercedes-Benz C Class
immediately impresses with its solid build. Once
nicknamed as 'Baby Benz' owing to its compact shape,
this saloon comes in two engine options — 1.8L and
2.2L engine options of petrol and diesel. Thanks to its
new facelift, the C Class now looks more focused on
performance. And the new headlamps, restyled fog

Audi’s compact SUV, the Q3, which is also the
youngest ‘Q’ after Q7 and Q5, is a handsome looking
car, priced at Rs 27 lakh approx for the base variant.
Launched in 2012, Audi has already sold over 500 units
of the Q3, which clearly explains its growing craze.
Currently available in sole diesel variant, the enticing
mini SUV draws power from its 2.0L diesel
motor, which is not only high on performance, but also
frugal.

hard to improve upon, recently underwent mid-life
facelift. And the results were just mind-boggling. This
modestly tweaked Audi, priced at less than Rs. 28 lakh
(1.8L petrol model), comes with two more engine
displacement options — 2.0L, 3.0L Quattro and boasts
of top-notch interiors, sleek designing, sensuous
curves and lines and a tastefully styled body to boot.

BMW’s brilliant new 3-series truly makes a cut above
the rest. BMW’s ‘Ultimate Driving Machine’ now
comes in both Sports and Luxury line and in both fuel
options. While the 2.0L base petrol model is priced
close to Rs. 29 lakh, the other more powerful and
luxurious variants can cost you up to Rs. 38 lakh. More
sophisticated, sportier and more spacious than
ever, this one truly outclasses its rivals.
