Mercedes-Benz has announced pricing and specification for the all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which will be available from August 23. When it is launched, the C-Class will come equipped with five key variants, one which includes better fuel efficiency.
The C-Class, which will be available from August 23, costs $60,900 for the entry level C200 with the top-of-the-range C300 BlueTec Hybrid at $74,900.
Horst von Sanden, chief executive officer Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific and managing director of Mercedes-Benz Cars says: “The outgoing C-Class was and is the number one selling luxury car in Australia and we’re confident the all-new C-Class will continue on the same path when it launches in August.”
One key addition, for example, is that the C-Class is larger to take into account people’s increasing average height. With an 80mm increase in the wheelbase (2840mm) compared with the previous model, the vehicle is 95mm longer (4686mm) and 40mm wider (1810mm).
The resulting increase in space benefits the rear-seat passengers, who will travel in more comfort, and creates room for the new front axle and future hybrid components.
At 480 litres the new C-Class also surpasses its predecessor in terms of boot capacity, in accordance with ISO 3832.
The C-Class comes equipped with eco-friendly engines that come with the ECO start/stop function and comply with Euro 6 emissions standards. They are also a factor in cutting fuel consumption by up to 20% compared with the preceding model.
In addition, Mercedes-Benz offers a diesel engine combined with a hybrid module. The C 300 BlueTec Hybrid with four-cylinder diesel engine and compact electric motor generates an output of 150 + 20 kW and despite its high power output, will consume less than 4 litres of diesel per 100 km/h (combined driving).
