MERCEDES' biggest volume-seller for passenger cars, the facelifted Mercedes C-class, first unveiled in the Geneva motor show in March, made its debut in Singapore last week.
The new generation C-Class which has reworked front and rear sections with a more striking design. The Stuttgart automaker has also improved the fuel efficiency of the line, with fuel consumption down by 31 per cent thanks to new engines, a reworked seven-speed auto gearbox and an eco start-stop function that can be found in the incoming CLS350 as well.
Among the new upgrades are ten driving assistance systems such as attention assist (to remind drivers who are too tired to drive) and new-generation telematics with internet access.
Six variants will be available, ranging from the 1.6-litre C180 Kompressor (156bhp, 230Nm of torque) to the top-of-the-line 3.5-litre C350 BlueEfficiency (306bhp, 370Nm of torque). A C200 CGI BlueEfficiency will come in estate form.
With the veil freshly peeled off the metal last week, local Mercedes distributor Cycle & Carriage would only say orders for the facelifted saloon have been "healthy".
Prices range from $169,888 to $263,888 (with COE).
More than 8.5 million units from the C-class family have been sold worldwide since the 190 was introduced 30 years ago.-motoring.asiaone.com
