I want it in this color!

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Please make it an attractive 4 door coupe and not a BMW 3 GT like piece of crap.

Now if the MBUSA would just give the U.S. that wagon with the same engines as the sedan and a diesel they would be onto something.

Agreed. MBUSA may be unwilling, though.

Just checked the inventory at 4 nearby MB dealers, and while they have more than 650 new Benzes in stock, only 8 wagons are available, and only 3 (three) THREE CLAs. Nearly no GLs either....

Most wagons are sold in Germany, it seems:

"More than 400,000 units of the predecessor model have been sold worldwide since its market launch in 2007, and more than a third of these vehicles went to customers in Germany."

2016 Mercedes-Benz C 350 Plug-in Hybrid Specs Revealed

Believe it or not, but it seems that someone who is in charge of marketing and PR at Mercedes-Benz might have been instructed to add a small easter egg inside the freakishly-long C-Class T-Modell S205 press release.

As it happens, we were right all along when we said that the upcoming C-Class Plug-in Hybrid will get the “C 350” moniker, since its combined power output should be similar to that of a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine.

Plus, it seems that we were also dead right when guessing the type of propulsion, as the model will indeed feature a turbocharged four-cylinder running beside an electric motor that can either assist or provide propulsion by itself.

The information that really made us enable our “bragging mode” was found hidden in the aforementioned C-Class Estate press release, where Mercedes-Benz specifies at one point that the future C 350 Hybrid with plug-in technology will generate a power output of "155+50 kW", or in other words 279 hp.

If some of you remember, we have always said that the Mercedes-Benz C 350 Plug-in will use the M274 DE 20 AL two liter engine that can be found in any 250-branded modern Mercedes-Benz. Unsurprisingly, it delivers exactly 155 kW (211 hp or 208 bhp) and 350 Nm (258 lb ft) of torque.

The one detail that we almost got wrong was the output of the electric motor, which we said it will deliver around 70 hp, while Mercedes-Benz just told us it will actually have 55 kW (68 hp or 67 bhp).

Just like its bigger brother, the Mercedes-Benz S 500 Plug-in Hybrid, the pluggable C 350 Hybrid will feature an oversized lithium-ion battery that will give it an all-electric range of about 30 km (19 miles), making for a combined fuel economy of just three liters of fuel per 100 km (78.4 mpg).

Expect more details about the new C-Class model towards the end of the year, with the car expected to be unveiled at the 2014 edition of the Paris Motor Show.

^ Since the wagon doesn't have a trunk for the Plug-In Hybrid battery, they raised the floor slightly in that model.

raised floor:

standard floor

 

[Yaz]

Shouldn't they have raised the door too?

 

[Wolfgang]

^ Once Plug-In Hybrids become more popular, they may.

Agreed, Mr.Mercedes. Maybe something like this?

@Wolfgang

And do you have picture of trunk of W205 hybrid limousine?

 

[Wolfgang]

^ Some pictures of the C 300 BlueTEC Hybrid. Since the battery is located in front of the rear axle, it can have a standard trunk.

The larger battery of the C 350 Plug-In Hybrid may also be fitted in the trunk, similar to the S 500 Plug-In Hybrid shown below:

Saw a C class the other day, and the passenger seat did not have the thigh extended support.. Which package/optional equipment gives both the passenger and driver the extended thigh support?

 

[Wolfgang]

^ Power seats include it, but one has to order it for both driver and passenger seats. Or use the mechanical seat extension for both with the seat comfort package.

Maybe, Sunny, maybe.


"Now, the big question on everyone's minds – will the C-Class Estate come to America? Well, we won't be holding our breath. We reached out to Mercedes-Benz USA, just to see if there was a chance of this wagon crossing the pond, and we got kind of what we expected. "We cannot confirm the C-Class Wagon for the US market at this time," said spokeswoman Terry Wei. "However, like any savvy company we are constantly evaluating market needs and can always bring the car here should there be an opportunity for it." It's not a yes, but it's also not a no."
