AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/03 Report--

It has been nearly six years since the domestic cash Mercedes-Benz C-Class went on sale in 2014, which has made its products gradually face the end. With the exposure of the new C-Class spy photos of Mercedes-Benz, it means that a new car is coming. Recently, the media exposed a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class (code V206) replacement project parameters, from the data show that Mercedes-Benz in the new car size has been lengthened again.

From the exposure data, the biggest change in the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class has been lengthened in an all-round way. From the point of view of the current Mercedes-Benz C-Class (V205), the length, width and height are respectively 4784*1810*1457mm, and the size of the wheelbase 2920mm is already very comfortable, which belongs to the riding experience of mainstream B-class models.

Compared with the body size of the new C-class model (V206), the length, width and height is 4840 × 1820 × 1450mm, and the wheelbase is 2954mm, that is, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class not only increases the size of the 56mm in the vehicle size, but also increases the 34mm on the wheelbase. Although compared with the imported Mercedes-Benz E-Class, it is not as long as the model, but it is obviously better than the higher-level E-Class overseas version in size. Of course, for the competition, the new C-class wheelbase will be better than the new Audi A4L and slightly shorter than the BMW 3-Series Li.

Reviewing the previous generations of Mercedes-Benz C-Class models, it can be said that each generation of new models will increase in size, and perhaps the gradual increase in the space of new cars is not only the demand of domestic consumers, but also for new cars made in China. Mercedes-Benz will be more positive in adjusting domestic consumption to meet market demand.

For the current Mercedes-Benz new C-class model is still in the road test, the spy photo is also wrapped whether it is tight. However, before that, overseas automotive media have repeatedly exposed the picture information of the new Mercedes-Benz's new C-Class. From the appearance, the overall change of the new car is not great, but visually it has changed, and the whole tends to the new E-class family-style front face. The area of the front face intake grille has been reduced, and the lamp groups on both sides are fitted with the word "7" light belt.

From the side of the body, the new car also maintains the overall line of the cash Mercedes-Benz design, but it can be seen from the waistline that the segmented design is used, which is different from the cash-through design. Although the picture exposed this time is to show the tail, according to the spy photos and rendering pictures previously exposed, the new taillight group has been replaced with a horizontal light group similar to the new E-class.

It is understood that in terms of power. Beijing Mercedes-Benz's new C-Class will focus on the M254 series 1.5T engine (including 48V light mixing system), maximum power 150kW, peak torque 280N ·m, significantly higher than the current 1.5T engine power parameters, the transmission system will continue to match the 9AT gearbox.

In any case, Mercedes-Benz's extension of the size of the new C-Class is undoubtedly to enhance its competitiveness in the domestic market. By choosing B-Class models, it can also have the riding experience of C-Class models, which may be the demand of some domestic consumptions. however, due to the larger body will require higher costs will also be one of the reasons for consumers to consider, but from the data, the new car will be lighter than the current model. It means that at least there will be no increase in fuel consumption.
