Mercedes-Benz C-class
A C300 coupe prototype, the C300s will be joined within a few months of their launch by a C450 AMG coupe powered by a 362-hp twin-turbocharged V-6, as well as a fire-breathing Mercedes-AMG C63 coupe with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 in 469-hp and 503-hp states of tune. We’ve also been told that the Mercedes-AMG versions will feature swollen fenders to make room for larger rolling stock.
C-class coupe’s interior design is, not surprisingly, closely akin to that of its sedan sibling—no bad thing. Front passengers sit nearly an inch lower on standard sport seats, and all passengers have more head-, shoulder-, and elbow room than in the outgoing model. Alas, beauty often requires some sacrifice, and rear-seat legroom and trunk space are down despite the car being 3.7 inches longer and 1.6 inches wider than its predecessor.
The C300 coupes will be LED headlamps, keyless ignition, a 7.0-inch screen for Mercedes-Benz’s COMAND system, and climate control that uses GPS to detect tunnels, at which point it automatically switches to recirculation mode. The navigation system’s interactive functions now include a “Drive Show” mode that presents trip information to occupants via Google Maps à la airplane in-seat displays. Options include Burmester audio and a larger, 8.4-inch display. Upholstery color choices include saddle brown, porcelain, and, in the Edition 1 model that will commemorate the car’s launch, a nut-brown-and-black combo with turquoise stitching. As with the S-class, the C-class will offer semiautonomous driving features in the form of Distronic Plus cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and auto-braking features. Also optional are a parallel and perpendicular parking-assist system and a 360-degree-view camera.
