Arriving on forecourts in September, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet is now available to order from Nationwide Vehicle Contracts in two lines: Sport and AMG Line.
The C-Class Cabriolet offers a choice of 6 engines, all offering powers combined with some surprising fuel efficiencies for such models.
Entry level comes with the C 200 with a 2.0-litre (184 hp) petrol engine, available with either a six-speed manual or 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, that is capable of 47.1 mpg on the combined cycle. This is followed by the C 300 with the same 2.0-litre engine but with a 245 hp output and available only with the 9G-TRONIC gearbox that is capable of 42.2 mpg.
Finishing off the petrol engine availability is the Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC Cabriolet that is powered by a powerful 3.0-litre bi-turbo V6 petrol engine producing 367 hp that is capable of 0-62mph in just 4.8 seconds. The C 43 comes with a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic gearbox as standard, with an adapted shift programme.
There are two diesel engines available with the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet: the 170 hp C 220 d that is available in both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive with a six-speed manual (rear-drive only) or 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic gearbox; and the C 250 d, which produces 204 hp and comes with a 9G-TRONIC gearbox.
As you can see from the picture of the C Class Cabriolet that this blog features, the new car is going to turn heads, and the car's electrically-operated multi-layer acoustic soft-top - which can be raised or lowered up to 31 mph - is available in a choice of four colours: black; dark blue; dark red; and dark brown.
The Sport model comes with a gloss black interior trim with brushed aluminium, 17" alloy wheels and a diamond grille with black-painted pins, as well as standard equipment that includes:
Moving on up to the AMG Line, we find that the Sport specification is augmented and improved by:
Available on the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet as options are the Premium Plus (which includes the COMAND Online infotainment system and 13-speaker Burmester surround sound system) and the Driving Assistance Package – only available with automatic transmission models – that includes active blind spot assist; active lane-keeping assist; Distronic Plus with steering assist; BAS Plus with crosswind assist; Pre-safe Plus; and Pre-safe Brake with pedestrian detection.
And all this is improved upon when it comes to the Mercedes-AMG C 43 which adds in (as standard):
With a 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 engine and AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed automatic gearbox, the range-topping Mercedes-AMG C 63 Cabriolet produces 476 hp and 650 Nm, and can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 4.2 seconds, with the C 63 Sversion producing 510 hp and 700 Nm, and taking just 4.1 seconds from start to 62mph.
Standard equipment on the C 63 Cabriolet includes:
The C 63 S adds in AMG performance seats; AMG steering wheel in Nappa leather and Dinamica; 19-inch alloys; an electronic rear-axle limited-slip differential.
And the optional Premium Package on the C 63 S adds in: Intelligent Light System with adaptive high beam assist; Burmester surround sound; and Artico dashboard (with Nappa leather look).
As with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé, a limited-edition C63 S Edition 1 will be available when the new car actually launches, and this features some particularly unique details including diamond-stitched nappa leather upholstery in black and brown; matt carbon fibre interior trim; and bespoke 19" front and 20" rear wheels.
