TEst: The best C series I have ever used.

Author: Özgür Sunay

Mercedes-Benz C200 4Matic is one of the most renewed C series of Mercedes brand. With the beginning of the C Series, CLS has been built on a structure that can create this structure, which it includes the “S” series and platform. And when we first look at us, it is a tool that can always show it all over. As an exterior design, the new Mercedes C series shows it especially with its mold.

The renewed C -series vehicle we have made the test drive is the best and ambitious C series I have used to date.

With a 1.5 -liter engine, I have to say that it is a semi -hybrid tool with a semi -hybrid tool with a 204 horsepower, a 14 -volt electric battery energy recovery system.

When we first look at our vehicle from the outside, Mercedes brand cars, especially at the beginning A levels, especially like the previous C series, such as the previous C series is quite long and muscular. Especially when we look at the new C series with the previous E Series from the front and behind is quite difficult to separate. The new C -series and the C200 model, which we have tested, are located on the star plastic grille with the new front shutter and Mercedes black logo. A camera stands out on the black Mercedes logo in front. For the powerful big screen inside. When we take a look at the lower buffer of the vehicle, there are air holes opened in the middle of the bumper for the radiator cooling on the back. But the right and left corner of the vehicle looks black and they are closed, so they are not open. When I look at the brakes to cool, the large self -cooling brake discs with perforated self -cooling disks stand out. It is located on the perforated air brake discs with a very large Mercedes brand logo for multi -sleeved Mercedes brand rim with a 19th alloy. The C200 is accompanied by the air rim and the sporty powerful safe design on the front of 225mm wide and 40mm high Goodyear brand tires.

The vehicle has a length in the C segment, which is quite close to 5 meters, around the side of the vehicle. In the meantime, the C200 mirrors reflected on the ground in the closed garage or at night Mercedes star logo is quite large and on the ground next to the vehicle is pleasant, strong. The car has maintained its car spirit and air more than a normal coupe view from front to back. When we take a look at the back of the C200 from the outside, there is a smoother luggage chamber design on the back, while the rear stop group with a slurry and soft design, especially when we look at the rear wheels and tires; The back of the rear is 255mm wide tires. (It stands quite wide.) But instead of the perforated brake discs on the front, there are a slightly smaller brake discs on the back, especially the ZF German brand is preferred as brake pads. In other words, the brake pads of a very strong brand at the back of the vehicle are located in the original factory C series 4matic model. In the back of the rear bumper, 2 diffisor exhaust outlets seem to be strong as an accessory, but the exhaust outlet is hidden below the bumper. These exhaust outlets on the diffisor are absolutely strong, although not functional, it is definitely a very powerful image on the back. The color of the test that suits the vehicle most is metallic Mojave gray.

In the meantime, the AMG outdoor design concept in our vehicle, diamond-looking grill, AMG body design, 360 degree camera system, illuminated “Mercedes-Benz” written door sills specific to the exterior design specific to the test vehicle.

When we look at our vehicle; You can really admire the new C series where the internal lighting, which I feel the most comfortable and bored, is better addressed to the eye that I like more and has many improvements. AMG interior design concept continues in our test vehicle. Especially Nappa Leather Coated 3 Sleeve Sporty Multi -Function Steering and F1 pedals are located on the steering wheel.

In the meantime, on the outside and from the inside of the switch that we can intervene automatically open and close the tailgate should not be forgotten. The new C series has an automatic luggage chamber. The instrument panel of the vehicle includes a 12.3 -inch display which is completely electronic and digital. On this screen, as in other Mercedes models, you can use the vehicle by selecting multiple options such as classic, sporty, navigation full screen. Of course, these elections are accompanied by special menus and special color changes among the internal and indicator special configuration options of the vehicle. At the front of the C200, the driver and passenger part of the 4 -way waist -supported and calf -supported, as well as massage, can offer the opportunity to massage, 3 -stage heated seats. The steering wheel has an electric depth and height settings. At the same time, the speed control system is now located with your key finger movements on the steering wheel. As in previous Mercedes-Benz models, there is no longer a cruise control lever on the left. Everything is in mind and on the steering wheel. When we look at the cockpit front chest section, there is a media central screen that appeals to all 11.9 inches among the interior design elements and technology features. Again, the glass ceiling of the vehicle attracts attention as a freshness in the interior. The glass ceiling, which is divided into two parts with a black curtain, can be opened simultaneously with two separate curtains.

In this sense, the glass ceiling has a new key system in order to open and close you more systematically than too much effort. In the C200 4MATIC AMG model, we have seen that the inner rear is quite spacious and the rear seats have a very sporty and comfortable but also quality leather seats. At the back of the vehicle, two adults can sit very comfortably. At the same time, there is a armrest part of the middle, but when you remove it, we have understood that a child until the age of 10-12 years of age can sit more easily because of the upstairs part of the stepping part. In the rear section, it is understood that the seating position and seat depth and back angles are very comfortable and far from the head ceiling distance with the design close to perfect. The right and left seats of the new C200, which is located in the back, also have the possibility to wear the isofix children’s seat. In this sense, our vehicle is a baby and child -friendly back. Again, when we open the back baggage, you can deposit the 60 percent and 40 percent seats in the back with a single movement and key in the back of the back and you can deposit within 1 second by pressing a single button. By ensuring that the people in this vehicle can reach the back baggage instantly. It also allows you to get a lot more load on the vehicle.

When we switch to driving features of the vehicle; The 1.5 -liter engine produces 204 horsepower, while the driving elective functional key of the C200, with the help of driving elective functional key, we can use more than less fuel consumption in the vehicle “E” eco mode. This driving style causes us to make us more electric motor and battery energy recovery. This causes us to burn less with the electrical energy as if using a diesel with 80-90-100km constant speeds without accelerating the vehicle. The best suspension and shock absorber hardness in driving is also softer and better in Comfort “C” mode and especially in “E” mode. In particular, the Amg Edition 1 package and design of the vehicle, which is located over C200, is also in our vehicle and the AMG sporty shock absorber system is also included and technology is included. This is actually the system that provides a lot of safety with the 4MATIC system for fast aggressive use. It is another different system, which is among the superior features in the C series, especially in the C series; Rear axle routing system 2.5 percent opening. Of course, we could not see this system very hard to shoot with the eye, but of course, with the 4MATIC automatic 4 -çeker system, the bends with the back of the rear axle to the wheels up to 2.5 percent of the opportunity to open. This is also among the prominent safety features in the C series. Already when a few more security features are added to our vehicle, our vehicle is CLS. Is it a C series that is being built on the new S series? Or we need to call my S series that is being built on the C series? I was not sure that. Or both may not be. Anyway…

If we look closely at the driving features of our vehicle, you can get 204 horsepower from this heavy vehicle that you have a highly accelerated and high -torque energetic engine with a highly accelerated and high torque while “C” Comfort and “S” sport mode is open. It is quite fast and energetic in taking off. But the new C series has another feature. When we say the C Series, “C” Comfort and economy are more in the forefront with confidence. For this reason, you may not need a “S” series. Now, especially Zekeriyaköy is a place that I love very often and I often use the North Marmara motorway.

As you know, the speed limit on highways is up to 140km. I fixed my vehicle on the North Marmara motorway at a speed of 140km. Sometimes I went too short to 150km speed to try the test. When we look at the pre -indicator and cycle time, a vehicle that goes constant at a speed of 140km usually uses more than 2,000 rpm in a range. (Usually), but the C Series 9G-Tronic transmission is running in this sense with a constant speed of 140km in “E” eco mode, the speed of our vehicle does not even see the exact 2,000 cycles. In other words, I have already taken a picture of it to give you clear information and this is among our test photos. When I go out for a speed of 150km with the C200, the speed is fixed at 1,900 hours. This is a new proof that the vehicle is very economical and is very economical with 140-150km speeds on the long road. I think that this period and driving narrative clearly is a good indication of who knows everything. On the long road, you can now enjoy the ability to go by burning less than fixing to 80-90km speeds with the new C200.

This time, this time, “Hey Mercedes” is my name what? Let’s see if you can know that? Very soon…
