Mercedes said the car will sprint to 60 mph from rest in just 3.9 seconds in base trim. Up front, the new C-Class Coupe stands out with powerful-looking grille flanked by headlights and adorned with LED lights.

Volkswagen Tiguan
An all-new SUV with stunning looks and features built on the Volkswagen’s MQB platform; a design structure adopted by the company for all its new cars will be the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Tiguan is powered by a new 1.0-litre TSI engine with 110bhp and extends the range of the three-cylinder petrol engines by adding direct fuel injection plus turbocharging technology, which opens a new chapter in the downsizing strategy at Volkswagen. The engine delivers a high peak torque of 175Nm at a low 1500rpm.
The Volkswagen compact SUV will be delivered to India in the first quarter of next year, as the demand for Compact SUVs are rising.
Mitsubishi Pajero Sport
Mitsubishi’s luxury SUV, Pajero Sport got its new looks and turbocharged 2.4-liter diesel engine in the third generation.
The new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, based on the fifth-generation Triton, gets a chrome grille, with the emblazoned logo of the Japanese manufacturer sitting on a black background, as a part of the Dynamic Shield design. To lend a sense of contrast, the SUV also gets blacked-out B- and C-pillars along with chrome alloy wheels.
There are expectations that the new Pajero Sport will come with an automatic gearbox when it comes to Indian market in 2016.
Lamborghini Huracan Spyder
In 2014, when Lamborghini launched Huracan, it was said the new sports car will replace the successful Gallardo and it did.

Huracan Spyder is expected to hit the Indian market in the middle of 2016.
Jaguar F-Pace
All set to stun the segment with its super awesome looks and performance, Jaguar F-Pace comes with 2 engine options of diesel and petrol and with a manual or an automatic gearbox. Available both in rear-wheel and all wheel variants, the SUV is assembled with a light-weight aluminum construction and comes loaded with lots of innovative features on board.
Both petrol and diesel models will be available when the car hits showrooms in 2016. At the top of the line-up will sit a 375bhp F-Pace S model into which Jaguar has dropped the supercharged V6 from the F-Type sports car.
