The “fourth” Mercedes-Benz C sedan. New Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe (C205) presented New mercedes c class

Last thing Mercedes-Benz generation The C-Class in the new W205 body was introduced in 2014 at the Detroit Auto Show. The sedan tried on a new corporate design, first tested on the flagship.

Exterior

The appearance of the new Mercedes C-Class 2017-2018 resembles a smaller version of the flagship. The sedan features a modern, less angular design compared to its predecessor. Clear, smooth lines flow easily from one surface to another, forming an elegant body that loudly declares its premium.

The front of the new C-Class W205 is characterized by a large trapezoidal chrome grille with one central vertical rib and several horizontal ones.


Aggressive “two-pupillary frown eyes” of the headlights are located along the edges of the grille, with a dividing “eyebrow”-bar DRL on LEDs. Below in the center is another narrow grille, most of which is covered by a license plate, and along the edges of it behind the “mustache” (the bumper relief creates such an effect) there are rather large air intakes.

The profile, due to its significantly smaller dimensions, resembles an older brother only in the shape of a body, and the compactness of the new mercedes c-class 2017 immediately catches the eye due to the short trunk (which looks spectacular from some angles) and a relatively long hood.



The wheels look a bit large, although the beautiful design of the disks smooths out this shortcoming. A spoiler-like ducktail adds a sporty-elegant style to the tseshka.

The stern of the sedan looks harmonious. Well-proportioned taillights, made in the traditional Mercedes style, compared to the size of the rest of the rear. They are in harmony with the shape of the trunk lid, narrowed towards the bottom, with a spoiler-like relief. A set of chrome strips confirms the premium status of the car.

Interior



Compared to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in the back of the W204, the new W205 received a luxurious interior, many of which were borrowed from the S-Class. All this looks premium and rich. The manufacturer paid attention to the smallest details - all this wants to be touched, stroked, pressed, twisted and even just admired.

The driver has a nice puffy leather multifunction steering wheel with three spokes and a scattering of buttons on the left and right spokes, as well as a metal decor at the bottom. The instrument cluster has changed - instead of a large central speedometer, a modern traditional scheme has come with two analog wells on the sides (speedometer and tachometer) and a digital screen in the center.

Thanks to the use of paddle shifters, instead of the traditional lever on the center console, almost the entire space of the latter was given to the controls of the multimedia system.

It is present here in the form of an "anomalous" screen, towering above the console. This display, along with three aerospace-design air vents, creates the effect of a spacecraft control panel. Joking aside, in fact, a very high quality and beautiful multimedia system, perhaps the best on the market at the moment.

sit in the front in the new Mercedes C-Class 2017-2018 convenient and comfortable. If the driver, suddenly, has a thirst for sports driving, then the front seats will support him in this, including on the side and quite well. Although, there are some nuances in the design of the chairs, and they may not be to everyone's taste.

But behind, despite the high status of the car and the impressive wheelbase not very spacious. Large passengers, most likely, will be uncomfortable there, the situation is aggravated by the hardness of the backs of the front seats, against which the knees of these “sufferers” will rest.

Characteristics

The new 2017-2018 Mercedes C-Class model is based on the MRA modular platform, thanks to which (as well as aluminum), the sedan has lost approximately 100 kg.

True, the softness of the “tseshka”, as for a model that wears a logo with a three-beam star on the radiator grill, is not ideal. Perhaps the predecessor was even better in this regard. The manufacturer characterizes this as a “driving orientation of the model”, and a stiffer suspension is a consequence of a sporty nature.

The new Mercedes C-Class W205 2017 is designed for a maximum of five people and has the following dimensions: length 4686 mm, width 1810 mm, height 1442 mm, and wheelbase size 2840 mm. The curb weight depends on the engine and ranges from 1,395 to 1,730 kg. The volume of the luggage compartment is 480 liters.

The car is equipped with an independent spring suspension: front - double wishbone, and rear - multi-link. Both axles have disc brakes, but the front ones are ventilated. Wheels dimension from 205/60 R16.

The power range of the Russian version of the sedan includes three gasoline engines, two diesel engines and a hybrid system (except for the “charged” AMG versions).

Petrol: 1.6 liters, 156 hp and 250 Nm of torque; 2.0 liters 184 hp and 300 Nm; 2.0 liters 211 hp and 350 Nm. Diesel: 2.1 liter 204 hp and 500 Nm; 2.1 liters 231 hp and 500 Nm. As well as a hybrid installation, including 211-horsepower Gas engine and an 82-horsepower electric motor.

All engines are aggregated exclusively in tandem with a 7-speed automatic transmission, except for the base one - for him, in addition to the machine, a 6-speed manual is available.

Price in Russia

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 sedan is sold in Russia in three trim levels: Premium, Sport and OS (Special Series). The price of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2019 in a new body varies from 2,450,000 to 6,160,000 rubles.

Mercedes-Benz C-class is a rear- or all-wheel drive mid-size premium sedan that combines elegant appearance, upscale and roomy interior, productive technology and progressive electronic “stuffing” ... The car is addressed, first of all, to wealthy family men (often - with one or more children) who have already achieved a lot in life, but at the same time have not yet “grown up” to more status models ...

The fourth generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-class with the in-house marking "W205" debuted in January 2014 at the international North American auto show in Detroit, and in February its mass production began ...

The four-door, which is positioned in the German company itself as a "miniature version of the flagship S-class", after the "reincarnation" seriously changed in appearance, received an even more luxurious interior, "moved" to a new platform and acquired the widest choice of equipment previously unavailable from competitors.

In March 2018 (as part of the motor show in Geneva), the premiere of a restyled car took place, which was slightly “refreshed” on the outside (reshaped bumpers, radiator grille, optics and wheel rims), enriched inside, “armed” with new modern “bells and whistles” and equipped new engines.

Externally Mercedes-Benz C-class fourth generation designed in the style of the flagship "eski", enclosed in a much smaller size - as a result, the car demonstrates an elegant, balanced, noble and dynamic image, devoid of any controversial elements.

The full-face sedan is attractive, restrained and moderately aggressive - stylish LED headlights, a solid radiator grille (its design depends on the modification) and a sculptural bumper with large air intakes.

In profile, the tricycle looks balanced, taut and energetic - a long hood, a cabin shifted back, embossed "folds" on the sidewalls, a short "tail" of the trunk and impressive strokes of the wheel arches.

And finally, a beautiful and fried stern with refined diamond-shaped lanterns and a “chubby” bumper with two “heavy” exhaust pipes implanted on the sides of the diffuser successfully completes the look of the car.

The “fourth” Mercedes-Benz C-class belongs to the segment of medium-sized cars: it is 4686 mm long, 1442 mm high, and 1810 mm wide. The center distance is extended at the four-door by 2840 mm, and its clearance does not exceed 130 mm.

In running order, the mass of the three-volume vehicle varies from 1350 to 1660 kg (depending on the modification).

Inside, the “shop” with the factory code “W205” boasts a sophisticated, modern and presentable interior, made with increased attention to detail, which, both in terms of design and workmanship, can be compared with the “players” of the executive class.

At the “workplace” of the driver, there is a “chubby” multi-steering wheel with a three-spoke rim and strict instruments with two equal-sized dials and a display between them (for an extra charge, they give way to a widescreen electronic scoreboard with a 12.3-inch screen).

Above the monumental center console rises a 10.25-inch tablet (in the "base" - 7-inch) of the infotainment unit, under which three round ventilation deflectors, stylish "remotes" of the audio system and the climate complex, as well as an analog clock are based.

In front salon Mercedes-Benz The C-class of the fourth generation is equipped with chairs with ergonomic anatomy, developed lateral support rollers, moderately hard filler and a large number of electrical adjustments. Only two passengers can comfortably accommodate on the back sofa, but the third one will obviously be superfluous - the central tunnel is huge here.

The cargo area of ​​a mid-size premium sedan in normal condition holds 480 liters of luggage and has convenient form. The second row of seats folds in three sections in a ratio of 40:20:40 into a completely flat floor, freeing up a decent opening for transporting oversized items. In the underground niche near the car, tools and a stowaway are laid.

The fourth-generation restyled Mercedes-Benz C-class is offered in five versions, which are equipped with a 9-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmission:

  • Petrol options C200/C200 4Matic are driven by a 1.5-liter "four" of the M264 family with an in-line layout, turbocharging, direct "feeding" system, 16-valve timing and variable valve timing, developing 184 horsepower at 5800-6100 rpm and 280 Nm of torque at 3000 -4000 rpm.

This technology helps at the beginning of acceleration, and is also able to turn off and quickly start the main engine while driving.
  • Behind it in the hierarchy is the version C300, under the hood of which is a four-cylinder unit of the M264 series with a working volume of 2.0 liters with a turbocharger, direct fuel supply, 16 valves and phase shifters at the inlet and outlet, producing 258 hp. at 5500 rpm and 370 Nm of peak thrust at 1300-4000 rpm.
  • Diesel versions C220d/C220d 4Matic equipped with a 2.0-liter OM 654 engine with battery injection, a twin-scroll turbocharger, iron-coated aluminum cylinders and a 16-valve timing structure that generates 194 hp. at 3800 rpm and 400 Nm of available potential at 1600-1800 rpm.

All-wheel drive modifications of the mid-size sedan boast the proprietary 4Matic system with asymmetric center differential, by default distributing thrust in a ratio of 45:55 in favor of the rear axle.

As for the "pre-reform" car, it was offered on the Russian market with other power plants:

  • The petrol palette includes a 1.6-liter engine ( C180), issuing 150 hp. and 250 Nm of torque, and a 2.0-liter unit with 184 hp to its credit. and 300 Nm ( C200 4Matic), or 211 hp and 350 Nm ( C250).

At the heart of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 is the MRA universal modular "trolley" with a longitudinally oriented power unit and independent suspensions both axles: a double-lever architecture is installed at the front, and a multi-link architecture at the rear. As an option, the sedan can be equipped with adaptive dampers and pneumatic elements.

In the power structure of the car body, high-strength and ultra-high-strength grades of steel and aluminum are widely used (the mass fraction of the latter accounts for 24%).

The four-door has an electric control amplifier mounted in a rack housing with variable tooth pitch. All wheels of the car are endowed with disc brakes (ventilated in the front part) with ABS, EBD and the "darkness" of other modern "gadgets".

On the Russian market, the restyled Mercedes-Benz C-class of the fourth incarnation has been offered since the beginning of May 2018 in three modifications to choose from - C 180, C 200 4Matic and C 300 (and in two versions - "Premium" and "Sport").

A car in a "premium" configuration with a 150-horsepower engine can be bought at a price of 2,320,000 rubles, while an all-wheel drive version will cost at least 2,520,000 rubles.

In addition, a wide range of optional equipment is provided for the mid-size premium sedan.

The automaker Mercedes has updated almost all of its classes. At the same time, the change affected the exterior, interior, technical equipment, as well as new engines and gearboxes. Mercedes S class 2016 was no exception - the car has an attractive exterior, fairly good equipment and new salon. At the first meeting, the car immediately attracts attention: aggressive, sporty notes are combined with elegance and sophistication.

What has changed in the Mercedes C Class 2016-2017?

The problem of the past years can be called the fact that the release of a new generation did not bring anything new: a slightly modified design, modified old engines. In practice, the buyer received the same car, but only for new price. New Mercedes S class 2016, as well as other classes, cannot be attributed to such a case. The main changes include:


The above changes are just part of the work done. The car in question does not even remotely resemble its predecessor.

Salon

Of many people Mercedes S class in 2016 I was interested in the salon, which has an increased level of comfort. It is worth noting that the E and S class have similar interior designs, but the C class has its own individual style. The automaker when creating a salon for this car I tried to keep the main features of the design ideas of previous years. Design features include:

  • The three round air ducts are reminiscent of younger car models from the manufacturer in question.
  • A large monitor was placed in the central part of the front panel, which is responsible for many multimedia functions.
  • The connection of the car with a more expensive class can be traced by the installed control unit - the touchpad. It is exactly the same as the E and S class.
  • The central panel houses the controls in the form of a strip of climate control and branded clocks, which are present on all new generations.
  • When finishing, high-quality soft plastic, wood, metal, leather and fabric are used.

In general, we can say that the Mercedes C Class 2017 car in question is ahead of all its competitors in the class in terms of comfort and equipment. This can be said even from the posted photos, as the Mercedes designers worked out the interior design, made it comfortable and attractive.

Engines

Another important change is the installation of new engines. We refer to them:


Later there will be a version from AMG, which will have about 400 horsepower. It is still possible to buy a car with a 7-speed gearbox, which has been installed on Mercedes for the past few years. In the future there will be a new robotic box gears with 9 steps, which is called 9G-Tronic.

The initial equipment of the car will cost 1,900,000 rubles. At this cost, you will have to rely on an old 1.6-liter engine, the sports version already costs 2,400,000 rubles. List additional options very large. Diesel version costs 2,600,000 rubles, the hybrid version will cost 3,200,000 rubles.
