Refined power – in the shape of three 6-cylinder powerplants in the C230, C 280 and C 350. They embody the symbiosis of refinement and fast acceleration. The maximum torque of 245, 300 and 350 Nm respectively is available across a very wide engine speed range, ensuring impressive power reserves are on tap in any driving situation.
A further feature of the V6 engines is the exemplary fuel consumption. All thanks to the four variable camshafts with infinitely adjustable control as circumstances necessitate. Consequently, just the right amount of fuel is added as the particular driving situation demands. The C 230 and C 280 deliver 204 hp and 231 hp, respectively. The most powerful C-Class, the C 350, comes with an impressive 272 hp. Its acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h of just 6.4 seconds is on a par with a sports car – when it comes to comfort though, it's in a different league.
All 6-cylinder versions can incidentally be identified by their sporty twin-pipe exhaust system.
(C 230: fuel consumption combined: 9.1-9.3 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 217 g/km; C 280: fuel consumption combined: 9.2-9.4 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 219 g/km; C 350: fuel consumption combined: 9.7-10.0 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 232 g/km)*
