The All New 2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

This new Mercedes Benz C Class is going to be an entry vehicle which was given a new look back in 2008 but for this year’s model then it is disappointing.  There are no big changes to the car, there are few here and there which again not appealing which still there is a few changes here and there.  These new C Class vehicles steamed really from the great S Class vehicles of the Mercedes ranges though with this C Class cars there are going to be more sedan styles being offered.  There will be a coupe offered also though this is going to be a very small coupe in deed for the market today but this will be offered in the E Class.

It will mean that the C Class cars are now going to be in direct competition with the ever popular BMW 3 Series wagon, coupe and the sedan models.  If that was not it then the Audi is also going to be in competition with this C Class also so it is going to be a fierce batter between all of these manufacturers in deed.  This is really going to be one of the least versatile cars in this particular segment which is a little odd however especially when this C Class is put up against the BMW ranges.

With this C Class it almost feels as though this has been given more attention to the comfort side of the car and not so much on the handling of this car which is again a little disappointing and odd considering that this is going to be compared to the BMW.  There will now be a few different configurations over this C Class car; there will be the V-8 engine which is capable of creating a massive horsepower of almost four hundred and fifty one.  However if this V-8 engine is not the one that the customer is going to be looking for then there is the V-6 engine option open to them, and with the C300 will have an option over the Luxury or the Sports editions also.

There will be the six speed manual transmission only offered with the C300 model and that is also going to come with the all wheel drive option only.  However there is still the seven speed automatic transmission available but the six speed is only going to come with the C300 model.

The Mercedes Benz C Class is going to come with the great sedan body style and if that was not all then the different models such as the Luxury, Sport, the C63 AMG and the two C300’s, the C300 and the C300 Sport.  They are going to come with the seven or six speed automatic and manual transmissions but they are going to be working with either the V-8 6.2 liter engine which is a powerful engine or one of the V-6’s with either the 3.0 or 3.5 liter engine.

There is now going to be the automaker’s telematics system with emergency assistance and the MBrace including the information systems over the traffic and the weather outside; however the Sports model will be getting the LED daytime lights.

The exterior of the C Class will receive the feelings of the S Class with the same lines and even the shape is very similar but the fender flares are going to be a little strong.  There is now the angled tail and headlights to the front and back of the car along with the sharper designs.

This C Class is going to come with fixtures such as the Bluetooth connectivity and even the Smart Key feature also.  There is now the power front seats with the two climate control also but even though these look nice, there are some plastics inside the car that do spoil it.  It can look cheap because of this which spoils it greatly.

Of course it might be the BMW is going to be the best performer on the roads but the dynamics of this C Class are improving every day.  Remember there is now the two hundred and sixty of horsepower with the C350 Sport model with a torque of almost two hundred and fifty eight also.

It can reach sixty within six seconds and will need around one hundred and seventeen feet to stop when travelling at sixty.  Though with this, there are some nice safety features such as the roadside assistance, the airbags including the dual side front, the pelvic, the dual front and head curtain airbags.  There are even the four wheel discs with ABS and the tire pressure monitoring system also.

For the C350 Sports model the EPA fuel economy can reach an impressive twenty five mpg for the highway and seventeen mpg for the city roads.  It is very different for the C300 Luxury and Sports editions with them reaching eighteen mpg for the city roads and a massive twenty five to twenty six mpg for the highway which is very high in deed.

It is the C63 AMG model that has got the best numbers however with them reaching nineteen for the highway roads and only twelve for the city roads.  However for all of these numbers then they could be greatly improved on but there is always room for that so it might take a few tries to cut down and make these cars more fuel efficient.
