Dominating the Mercedes-Benz stand at the Paris show will be two world premieres, both very different from each other. The first is the the original Fascination concept, which under its deceptive mantel, hides a shooting brake dynamism that could be in the style of the E Class, CLK and perhaps even a CLK shooting brake. The second is the C250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, that without any stylistic showing off, is all about first class technical concepts.

Characterising this new C Class version is the next generation four cylinder diesel, the CDI 2.1 litre. The C250 will be the highest performance vehicle of these proposed at the show.

The numbers really show the modernity of this project: 2.1 litres, 204hp, 500Nm (record for the two-litre category), along with fuel consumption at 5.2 l/100km, and with emissions at 130 g/km. The engine is Euro 6-ready, and the car includes other features such as refined aerodynamics and intelligent steering.
