At the Geneva Motor Show 2011, mercedes c class coupe was first launched. The new car is able to penetrate the global market segment with an attractive form of display cars. In addition, support is also a good engine performance and also a very comfortable interior.

The technology used on this car is quite sophisticated, with some aspects of system support progressive and highly efficient. Viewed from the side of the fuel this car is also quite economical with some support of advanced engine performance.

The dashboard instrument panel features a strong, sporty and high-quality design. Three tube rings with a galvanised finish demonstrate the car's sporty credentials to the driver. As standard, the coupé comes with the new generation of three-spoke steering wheel with its chromed central spoke that first appeared on the new CLS. The touch surfaces of the controls are finely detailed and galvanised.

The stepped top of the instrument cluster also accommodates the central display and continues onto the front passenger side as a discreet light-catching contour. The central, trapezoidal air vents and the round vents on the outside are highlighted in detail by galvanised trim. The control panel of the new-generation communication and information unit has silver-coloured keys. The combination of matt keys, high-gloss areas and a new thumbwheel design underlines the high perceived value of the interior.

There is a choice of three petrol engines and two diesel powerplants to power the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe. All are equipped with direct injection and the ECO start/stop function as standard. All the engine variants are classed as BlueEFFICIENCY units, showing that they are particularly efficient and environmentally friendly in their use of fuel.

The C 220 CDI and C 250 CDI diesel variants and the basic C 180 petrol engine come with a six-speed manual transmission as standard.
