While the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class shown at this year's Bangkok International Motor Show was an imported version not intended for sale, locally-assembled cars are now rolling out from the Samut Prakan plant.
Codenamed W206, the fifth-generation C-Class is available in Thailand first with a diesel powerplant, with two trim levels to choose from. The Avantgarde is priced at 2.59 million baht (up from 2.49 million baht compared to the W205) while the AMG Dynamic retails at the same price of 2.99 million baht. It competes head-on against the BMW 320d, which comes only with M Sport trim (2.549 million baht).
