The recipe for its creation is the same as for Lada Aura
An updated and extended Mercedes-Benz C-Class has entered the Chinese market. The car is offered in five trim levels: C200 L, C260 L, C260 L 4MATIC, C260 L Haoye Sport and C350 e L. Prices for purely gasoline versions range from 46.7 thousand to 53 thousand dollars, the plug-in hybrid is priced at 57 ,2 thousand dollars.
The most interesting thing is that all purely gasoline versions are equipped with an engine of only 1.5 liters with a capacity of 170 or 204 hp. Only a hybrid can provide power worthy of a premium Mercedes sedan — 313 hp The hybrid's power plant is based on a 2.0-liter turbo engine; the car is capable of driving about 100 km on pure electricity. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
The car will receive two front design options: with a traditional radiator grille and with a grille in the center of which there is a large Mercedes logo. The dimensions of the car are 4882 x 1820 x 1461 mm, wheelbase — 2954 mm. For comparison, the length and wheelbase of the European «short» Mercedes-Benz C-Class — 4751 and 2820 mm respectively.
In terms of equipment and interior design, no major changes. The only things that can be noted are the new steering wheel, the appearance of front central airbags, the second generation MBUX system with support for 27 languages.
Recall that yesterday Mercedes-Benz presented a cool hybrid Mercedes-AMG E53.
