2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe review | first drive video - Cars Guide

Like other C-Class bodystyles, the base model’s seat trim is actually Artico synthetic material rather than genuine cow leather. The C200’s 135kW/300Nm 2. 0-litre turbo petrol is the same unit used for other C-Class bodystyles, and is paired with the familiar seven-speed torque converter auto. In C-Class Coupe guise, it manages the 0-100km/h sprint in a claimed 7. 3 seconds, and a stop/start system helps to generate an impressive 6. 0L/100km official combined figure. The diesel C250d’s 150kW/500Nm 2. 1-litre turbodiesel is also familiar from the other Cs, but comes with the new Mercedes nine-speed torque converter auto. This clever unit also combines with stop/start to generate a downright excellent official combined fuel figure of 4. 4L/100km. The C300 drops back to the seven-speed auto, but drops the 0-100km/h figure down to a claimed 6. 0 seconds and still manages an official combined fuel figure of 6. 6L/100km. Even though the C-Class interior is now two-and-a-half-years old it still looks fresh, with excellent perceived quality for all materials. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
