After its debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April, the model has been at the center of attention for a couple of reasons - it is the first 1.6-liter displacement vehicle in China produced by a luxury brand and is also the only sedan in its segment to qualify for the government's vehicle sales tax discount.
Equipped with a Mercedes-Benz Kompressor engine, the C 180 K Classic delivers 115 kW in power and 230 Nm of torque, powering it to a top speed of 223 km/h.
The C 180 K Classic is delivered from the showroom with state-of-the-art technologies including Mercedes-Benz's latest agility control system that can automatically adjust suspension settings to the road conditions.
The C 180 K Classic also offers Mercedes-Benz's "BlueEfficiency" technology that reduces energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions while enhancing the performance, resulting in fuel consumption of 7.7 liters per 100 km.
The C 180 K Classic reflects carmaker's insight into the Chinese market and commitment to the demands of young consumers through its promotion of the C 180 K Classic.
The carmaker said it has high expectations for the C 180 K Classic due to the excellent quality and technologies, premier image and highly engineered approach to energy conservation.
