Upon a closer look, it can be seen that the car involved in the accident is a first-gen Mercedes-Benz GLC. The car was first shown in India at the 2016 Auto Expo and was launched on June 2, 2016. The car came in variants, namely the 220d 4Matic and 300 4Matic which were priced at Rs 50.70 lakh and Rs 50.90 lakh, respectively (ex-showroom, Pune). From the pictures of the car that was involved in the accident, it is unclear what was the exact trim of the car. Additionally, while the driver of the car is believed to have lost control of the vehicle and the airbags of the car can be seen as deployed, it is still unclear as to where Mistry was seated in the car and whether the occupants had the seatbelts on at the time of the accident.
