cutting weight on MB and cutting the power as well…
not a good move toward what mb image. IMHO.
hope it wont end up competing with let say civic. haha… save petrol maa.

thought the current c class is the latest, so fast roll out new planning.
it hurt.

unless they trying to hit price far lesser than the current c200k that cost about 235k.

6.5l/100km? Dont make me laugh.

How was the test done? On the highway at constant speed on overdrive at 70km/h?

Im guessing the 3.5L V6 version is gonna average about 13-14L/100km in typical commuter (city/highway) driving.

Loaded with technology. I think that front grille, light design gets old. What do you think?

manual is definitely more FC efficient as the transmission experience less loss than an auto.
very good innovation from the 3-point star company!

looks like the Merc reduced almost everything, except the price (esp in Malaysia)

Engine used is a 1.6L producing the same output as that of the 1.8L? I’m pretty sure they increase the force induction capacity to the engine, which I think has no much FC difference from that of using the original 1.8L engine.

a commendable effort overall.
