Even though the CLA up-and-comer arrived on the US market with a rather huge bang, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is still the best sold three-pointed star model in the land of the free.
Coming straight into the most competitive, sales-wise, premium segment, the all-new 2015 C-Class W205 arrives at a rather good moment in Mercedes-Benz history.
Technology-wise, the car is pretty much a masterpiece compared to its closest competitors, with features like a GPS-connected climate control system than automatically switches on recirculation when entering tunnels, an in-city autonomous stop and start autopilot and head-up display.
Earlier on we told you about the three-engines available at start, but those were only for the European version of the new C-Class, as the US-variant will get two different ones at launch, both fitted with all-wheel drive and the 7G-Tronic.
The C 300 4Matic will come with a two-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder that offers a preliminary power figure of 238 hp (235 bhp) and 370 Nm (273 lb ft) of torque, while the top of the range model will consist of the C 400 4Matic, which sports a three-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 with 333 hp (329 bhp) and 480 Nm (354 lb ft) of torque.
