|
With a remarkable boost in output by up to 13 percent and an increase of
around 18 percent in torque, the engines also do more than their bit to
create the lively nature of the new C-Class. The four and six-cylinder
units not only excel with powerful responsiveness, but also contribute to
the excellent ride comfort of the Saloon with their improved smoothness.
By virtue of this successful synthesis of agility and comfort, the C-Class
underlines its claim to leadership in this market segment. Mercedes-Benz
has paid particular attention to further development of the four-cylinder
engines. In the petrol range, the output of the entry-level C 180
KOMPRESSOR has increased from the previous 105 kW/143 hp to 115 kW/156 hp,
with maximum torque improved by 4.5 percent from 220 to 230 newton metres,
while the C 200 KOMPRESSOR develops 15 kW/20 hp more than before. It has
an output of 135 kW/184 hp and generates its maximum torque of 250 newton
metres from 2800 rpm. Read more
