The new Mercedes C-Class coupe is one of the key models for the company in its campaign to appeal to a younger and sportier market and we think it’s working. At least, we like it anyway. Sales of the C Class in Europe kick off about June and a range of five engines will be available, all with start&stop and direct injection.

Three petrol units are on offer: the 1.8-litre turbo which appears on both the C180 (with 156 hp) and the C250 (with 204 hp). There is also the new 3.5-litre V6 with 306 hp and 370 Nm of torque. The diesel offering includes the following: the four-cylinder, 2.1-litre unit in two powersteps of 170 hp and 400 Nm of torque (C220 CDI), and 204 hp and 500 Nm of torque (C250 CDI).

The C Class coupé gets Agility Control for the suspension system which changes from either a comfortable, smooth ride to a sporty, reactive one. Options include a sports suspension set-up with shorter and more rigid springs and shocks, reinforced anti-roll bar and a lowered wheelbase. See the gallery below for some of the technical stuff and how it works.
