Mercedes has announced prices and specifications for it’s new for 2014 C-Class, which goes on sale in June.
The new saloon will be delivered to customers for a starting price of £26,855, and at launch will come with a choice of either a 184bhp 2.0 litre petrol or 2.2 litre diesel producing 170bhp and a huge 295 lb ft of torque.
These will be followed later in the year by 2.0 and 2.5 litre diesel motors and a 3.0 litre diesel hybrid.
The C will be available in three trim levels, SE, Sport and AMG.
The standard SE comes with a seven inch – touchscreen – entertainment system, two-zone air conditioning, a reversing camera, rain sensing wipers, Attention Assist, Speedtronic cruise control, heated windscreen wiper washers, a tyre pressure monitoring system and Mercedes’ ‘Collision Prevention Assist Plus’ system all standard.
Prices range from £26,855 for the petrol SE to £34,355 for the diesel AMG and the engine can be mated with either a six speed manual or seven speed automatic ‘box.
Upgrading to the Sport model adds 17-inch alloy wheels (up from 16-inch on the SE), LED headlights, lowered comfort suspension, chrome exterior trim and sat nav.
The top line ‘AMG’ adds 18-inch AMG wheels, AMG bodystyling and steering wheel, sports suspension and an Artico finish to the upper dashboard.
Underneath the Diesel C manages to sit in vehicle tax band B, pumping out 103 g/km of CO2 in SE guise and managing 70mpg. Petrol C200s will be in band D but Merc claim an impressive 53 MPG for both manual and automatics.
Mercedes say the petrol will hit 62 in a sprightly 7.5 seconds and owners will be able to choose between Comfort, Eco, Sport, Sport+ and bespoke settings from the dash to chose how to channel the C’s performance.
