These 4-cylinder engines come with mild hybrid electrified drivetrains equipped with a 48-volt integrated stater alternator (EQ Boost), the additional output of these electrified drivetrains is capped at 15kw/20hp. On the new C-Class the shifting is carried out smoothly with the 9GTRONIC automatic transmission. Also, the suspension configuration in the new C-Class provides a high level of suspension, ride and noise comfort, agile handling and driving fun, this thanks to a new four-link axle at the front and a multi-link axle at the rear mounted to a subframe.
The all-new C-Class is loaded with a flurry of safety and assistance systems that ensure you’re always out of harm’s way. Owners of the new C-Class can benefit from a range of features from the Mercedes-Benz S-Class which are a part of the Driving Assistance package Plus.
