![]() With this kind of power, an adaptive transmission and distinctive styling, the C43 fits well into the Mercedes tradition-yet still stands out on its own. Replacing the C36 sedan that turned heads from 1995 to 1997, the C43 is the latest combined effort of Mercedes-Benz and AMG, the German tuner that has modified and raced Mercedes cars for the past two decades. The C43 supersedan boasts a 4.3-liter engine that produces 302 horsepower at 5,850 rpm and 302 foot-pounds of torque between 3,250 and 5,000 rpm. And the V8 sitting under the hood of the C43 empowers the driver to leave just about everybody in its dust. The V6 that powers the C280 may not sound significant, but it produces better low-end torque than the engine it replaced while getting better fuel economy. The C230 gets supercharged power this year, good for an increase of 37 horsepower and 38 foot-pounds of torque, up to 185 and 200, respectively. This year Mercedes' best-selling models should appeal to Americans even more because of more powerful engines. The new car was substantially improved over the 190, offering better performance and more interior room. You can even mix and match the settings of the steering, ESP and throttle to find a specific way to set up the car to suit your driving style. The C-Class rides very nicely, absorbing almost everything in its path without much of a struggle, and this may also be down to the fact that this car gets 17-inch wheels while the more powerful C300d and C220d ride on 18-inch wheels.The Baby Benz grew up four years ago when the C-Class replaced the 190E. ![]() If playing around with settings is your thing, then you get three driving modes Eco, Comfort and Sport which alter the throttle, ESP and steering response with noticeable differences. Despite the large size, the C-Class has the ability to shrink around you and feel much smaller and tighter, and this is despite average visibility from the rear window due to the way it is designed. It also weighs up very nicely as you go faster, giving you the confidence to drive dynamically if the ‘need’ arises. As a car to drive, the steering response is reasonably fast but very accurate. That said, it will get the job done if you need to do long stretches on the highway and probably provide a good fuel efficiency figure too. It’s also hard to tell when the hybrid system adds to the mix and how much of an extra punch it is actually providing. Rivals to the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class include the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and the Jaguar XE. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has a seating capacity of five occupants. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is available in six colours that include Selenite Grey, Mojave Silver, High-tech Silver, Manufaktur Opalite White, Cavansite Blue, and Obsidian Black.

On the outside, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class features sleeker LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs, a set of new split LED tail lights, and new 18-inch alloy wheels. A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard across the range. Also on offer is a 48V mild-hybrid system that produces 20bhp and 200Nm. ![]() The former is available in the C200 guise, producing 201bhp and 300Nm of torque, while the latter is offered in the C220d and C300d guise, producing 197bhp and 440Nm of torque, and 261bhp and 550Nm of torque, respectively.
