All-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé
Created Date: 08/03/2011
The expressive new C-Class Coupé sees Mercedes-Benz - now in its 125th year of corporate history - entering a new market segment and for the first time offering a compact, classic coupé. This youthful, sporty two-door car has just been unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last week and will be making its way to customers from June.
There will be a choice of three petrol engines and two diesel powerplants to power the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé. All are equipped with direct injection and the ECO start/stop function as standard. All the engine variants are classed as BlueEFFICIENCY units, showing that they are particularly efficient and environmentally friendly in their use of fuel. All automatic versions feature the further-enhanced 7G‑TRONIC PLUS seven-speed automatic transmission (standard with the C250 and C350 petrol engines). The C220 CDI and C250 CDI diesel variants and the basic C 180 petrol engine come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard.
The top engine variant is the V6 petrol engine in the C350 BlueEFFICIENCY featuring the efficient BlueDIRECT method of injection. It delivers 306 hp and 370 Nm. Average fuel consumption is 41.5 mpg. The four-cylinder petrol engines have direct injection and are turbocharged, offering high performance and exemplary economy.
The most economical coupé model is the C220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with manual six-speed transmission and the standard ECO start/stop function. It has an average diesel consumption of 64.2 mpg. This corresponds to 117 grams of CO2 per kilometre. The C250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY contents itself with a combined diesel consumption of just 57.6 mpg. This corresponds to CO2 emissions of 128 grams per kilometre.
In the UK the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé will feature the AMG Sports Package as standard which further enhances the look of the car with AMG bodystyling and 18in AMG alloy wheels.
