Fourth Generation C-Class soon to hit showrooms
The C-Class has been the best-selling model of Mercedes-Benz manufacturer of top-line Mercedes C230 parts for the past 25 years. This is also why, when the entry of the fourth generation C-Class was announced, Mercedes had to take into account the traditional owners and at the same time try to attract young buyers who are more interested in sports sedan. To solve this problem the 2008 C-Class that hit showrooms Canadians have two models appearing distinctly different. The new models are based on the 3.0 liter DOHC V6 model called the C300 and C300 Sport, while the C350 Sport was based on the 3.5 liter DOHC V6. The models are identified by different grade they have. The C300 and C350 are identified by their classic louvered grille that is designed to attract buyers conservative. Moreover, the Sport C300 and C350 Sport is due to the large ring with three-pointed that begin to be used exclusively reserved for their most high-performance two-door cars such as the SL. The overall style clues were obtained from the CLS premium luxury sedan with a wave of rising from the hood that flows over the concave roofline to a swooping rear deck. The aggressive looking Sport can also be fitted with an AMG sport package that includes lower front and rear aprons and side skirts. For Europe there would be eight models that will include three diesel engines and which does not include whatever AMG, Mercedes-Benz at home tuner company does. However, the company ensures that customers who prefer its AMG as an AMG Mercedes C-Class with a 5.5 liter or 6.3 liter V8 is possible. The pricing of the fourth generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Canada is scheduled to hopefully released by the end of August. But unlike the current model of the fourth generation will be slightly higher prices. Just as Canada has done to Mercedes-Benz E-Class with last year, more content will also be added, but with the same price as the previous model. Both C-Class models will employ V6, quad came engines of 3.0 liters and 3.5 liters, respectively. The 3.0 liter produces 231 hp and 300 lb / ft of torque, while the 3.5 liter revs up to 272 hp and a full 350 lb / ft of torque. A diesel-Class C can also be made by the end of this year and hopefully will come equipped with eco-friendly BlueTec V6. It would be better than the Mercedes-Benz can couple to their gasoline engines with a speed of seven electronic automatic transmission. There is already a six-speed manual offered on the C280 in Europe. The 3.0 liter engine allows the C-Class to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in only a matter of 7.3 seconds. Tops its speed is 250 km / h and record a fuel economy of 9.4L/100 km combined city / highway. The 3.5 liter can sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in almost one second to 6.4 seconds with top speed limited to 250 kph, with an estimated fuel rating is 9.7L/100 km. The suspension is the same for both the three links on the front plus coil springs and stabilizer bar. Shocks of gas has a scale-dependent damping system called Agility Control that stabilizes the body of the vehicle no matter how hard are the shocks, or even when the shocks are not working properly. The rear suspension is the latest innovation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz multi-link independent system. She has two anti-squat and anti-dive built in which means that the rear vai not go down because the gas is hit and will not go up when the brakes are applied. The gas shocks also have amplitude-dependent damping and a heavy stabilizer bar. And, probably, released for next year is the Advanced Agility package and thanks to computers-edge system provides a choice of tow gearshift / handling programs called Sport or Comfort. Although the system is complex meaning each damper is infinitely variable, but all four work together to provide quality ride and handling capabilities. In sport, the body is also lowered by 15 mm, while the transmission is remapped to sharp turns. Brakes are composed of four discs located in every corner, of course, most do not forget ABS, Brake Assist and Electronic Stability Control (ESP) and are offered as standard security features on all Mercedes-Benz cars.
