2012 Mercedes C-Class

2012 Mercedes C-Class Coupe - The perfect shape.

The new Coupe is much more aggresive than the saloon standing a half inches lower. It features narrow C-pillar in a classic three-box design, short front overhang, long hood, steeply raked windshield and long, sloping roof. However, for maximum strength of the chassis there is a traditional B-pillar.

The interior boasts some nice equipment and very good materials. 2012 Mercedes C-Class Coupe features  a flat-bottom steering wheel, aluminum trim, Burl Walnut and Ash Olive Matte are also available as an options, metallic accents, and a 5.8" COMAND display. Among the options list you will find heated front seats, a Harman-Kardon audio system, and GPS navigation.

The safety is a top priority, so the new Coupe includes nine airbags, belt tensioners and belt-force limiters for all seats as standard. There are plenty of assistance systems, too.

The engine range includes 1.8 litre four-cylinder petrol in C250 with 204PS (150 kW) and 310Nm (229 lb-ft) of torque. The acceleration is satisfying - 0 to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds and top speed of 209 km/h (130 mph). The mighty V6 in C350 delivers 306PS (225 kW) and 370Nm (273 lb-ft). It enables the car to accelerate in 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds. The fuel consumption is pretty good, too - 22 mph combined cycle.
