C-Class (W206) [Official] Mercedes Benz C-Class (W206)

Positively surprised by the Avantgarde line. I thought it would look much worse and one is forced to take the AMG line. If I were in the market for this handsome sedan, I'd settle for the Avantgarde.

Yupp. I am used to reading "AMG line is a MUST!"

For a base model the interior is not bad i guess mainly this is the taxi spec we wont even get this in UK but its not too bad..for those who don't want the full screen and want buttons for AC here you go...

New C-class is larger inside but with smaller fuel tank of 40l (for C180/C220d), 50l for other models.

Rear passenger space is the most benefit it seems. The really good thing is the back seat squab is 53mm longer than before which probably makes for better under thigh support. Rear legroom up by 28mm. Cabin width also up by about 22mm in front and 15mm in back.

I am really surprised that despite the 30mm extra rear overhang the boot is not bigger.

There's an option for a 66l fuel tank.

This has become the standard trick to get lower spec weights - put a tiny tank as standard.

Yes, I know and it’s not new, neither to MB nor to BMW

The drawing from the top down is really interesting as you can see the angled dashboard. First it is straight in front of the driver but then from around the start engine button all the way to the passenger door, it is clearly angled towards the driver like in 1980’s BMW’s. I thought only the screen was angled but clearly it’s the whole dash

Some spec comparisons with Audi A4 and BMW 3 series models. What can be seen is the W206C-class is at least 60 to 90kg heavier than its rivals.

Model:	Power (kw)	Torque (Nm)	0-100km/h (sec)	Max Speed (km/h)	Consumption (l/100km)	Emissions (WLTP)	Weight (kg)
C180	125	250	8.6	231	6.2	141	1625
318i	115	250	8.4	223	6.3	142	1565
A4 35 TFSI S-Tronic	110	270	8.9	210	5.9	135	1545
C200	150	300	7.3	246	6.3	141	1650

I don't think it was posted

"The W206 has lastly been loaded into the Mercedes-Benz Deutschland on-line configurator, exhibiting the “spartan” C180 in all of its glory. As anticipated, the inside has one function we completely adore – separate controls for the local weather settings. That’s as a result of the MBUX infotainment drops in dimension from the non-compulsory 11.9-inch diagonal to 9.5 inches, so there’s not sufficient display actual property to include the HVAC controls."

This is interesting. It states “over 480 kilowatts” power rating for the new 4cyl C63. I might be doing this wrong but that translates to a crazy amount of horsepower for the class: 643hp according to the conversion tool on my iPhone. Could this be right?

Reference starts at 3:05 or so mark in the video.

Correct.

Given the weight gain it's going to need every last bit of that power. ?

For the Italian market we start from class c 22o and 300 and prices start at 50,990 euros. At a later stage, the petrol 180 will be introduced

What is the difference to the old W205 model?

This won't be the official max power. The power will be the one from the ICE- expected something like 450 ps from the 2 l 4 cylinder + 80 kW (108ps) from the e-motor (150kW are available for only 10 s and this can not be considered as official power (it needs to be sustained for at least 30 s)). So something like 560 ps.

I think I prefer this setup with physical HVAC buttons. Doesn't look poverty to me at all.

But the basic screen behind the steering wheel.... It's the ugliest thing in modern car history.
