For advertising themselves as many have moved out. The new Mercedes C -Class, which had taken her completely camouflage for filming and so drew largely blank before its show debut at the Detroit Motor Show. In Motown , the new Mercedes C- class can then finally Cases fall and presents itself as a kind of an S-Class in miniature.

Mercedes C-Class W205 is longer than its predecessor

With a length of now 4.69 meters, the new C- class higher than their own predecessors grown by almost four inches and offers especially the rear passengers more space and a grown on 480 liters of cargo space , but then remains clear and S- class format . Despite the size growth, the new Mercedes C-Class is the base weight about 100 kilograms have saved. Made possible by an outer skin that is almost completely made of aluminum and a bodyshell which also relies on a high aluminum content . But even the reduced to 41 liter tank contributes to weight reduction . A 66 liter tank there is an extra charge.

In the lines, the new C-Class looks like a reduced scale in the S-Class. Beads, edges , front and rear styling as well as the shape of the lights - everything can still be found on the C-Class. Must not be a disadvantage , the S-Class was still several times for their design Praised . As an Exclusive version - replaces the Elegance - carries the C-Class her star on the hood , as avant-garde and with AMG package is moved to the star in the radiator grille.

The new design , the reduced weight and optimized motors should have pressed the consumption of the new C-Class up to 20 %. First, there is the C 180 with 156 hp and 250 Nm , the C 200 Free with 184 hp and 300 Nm , and the C 220 CDI with 170 hp and 400 Nm.

After all, is that the C300 Bluetec Hybrid ( 2.1 -liter four-cylinder turbo diesel plus E- motor ) is a hybrid powertrain shortly after the launch of the agenda.

But with all due rigor in view of the fleet consumption of the brand may not be missing an AMG version of the new Mercedes C-Class. This is powered by a twin-turbocharged four-liter V8 engine, which should make 460-500 hp.
