Mercedes C Coupe A good school

The firm with the star expands its range of variation of a new cut and refined, after the class C. 

Mercedes, the grand touring coupe is a religion. With the exception of the Duet Class A-Class B, replaced in a few months, each line offers models. Except that Class C since the fall of 2000 based on a variant hatchback - the Sportcoupé - hardly in keeping with the standing of the brand. Facelift in the wake of the Class C range, occurred last spring, the firm has had the good taste to decline a real cut statutory, distinguished by a sleek silhouette three volumes. Kind of reduction in E-Class Coupé, the new vehicle exceeds its predecessor by 25 centimeters and the BMW 3 Series Coupe 3 centimeters. To see the evolution of the species, it only makes 5 centimeters to the CLK in 2002. While slipping into the template of the class C, it is different in two sports grille slats including a bloated star and a flowing roofline. 

Mercedes codes flood the cabin. If the full bucket seats, aluminum inserts and the bottom silver dials feed an atmosphere eminently sporty instrument panel with two caps and technology come from the sedan. These technical innovations, which gradually spread to the entire range, detecting a vehicle in the blind spot and reduced vigilance, warning of an unexpected change lanes and a safe distance from the vehicle in inappropriate the above. 

Apart from the exclusive C63 AMG, the entire range of petrol and diesel has BlueEfficiency label promoting reduced consumption and therefore CO2 emissions. Regarded as an incongruity there is still not that long of a cut, the 2.2-liter 4-cylinder diesel, available in 170 and 204 hp, should constitute the bulk of sales. Bowing to the downsizing mode, the engine displays the most powerful V6 performance, torque reaching 500 Nm more compact coupes that Audi A5 and BMW 3 Series, the C-Class Coupé also announced that more attractive prices rivals powered equivalent.

NO CONCESSION 

Pleasure reasoned 

No need to despair, but timely. For those who found the Classified cut too big and too expensive, cut ClasseC may well be the right choice. Atmosphere, materials and ergonomics: the new model remains faithful to the house codes. Although the two rear bucket, a center armrest private alas, do not lend themselves to adults over 1.80 meters, especially with the large panoramic glass roof, but the trunk willingly accepts two large golf bags. Typed more touring than sport, the behavior seduce as many, if not as dynamic as that of a BMW. If the couple comfortable allows robust recovery, the sound of diesel degrades approval. It is also the case of manual transmission, always slow and unpleasant to handle. We recommend the automatic gearbox 7G-Tronic.
