The All New 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe
Any coupe worth owning should have a bold look, high-level performance, and a full suite of available options. While there are plenty of sexy coupes out there that fit the bill, perhaps one of the most noteworthy is the Mercedes-Benz 2017 C-Class Coupe. What makes this a true head-turning masterpiece of engineering?
Sleek Styling
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan was the best-selling luxury vehicle in the world for 2015. Surely, this was thanks in no small part to the car’s eye-catching exterior, with its elegant lines and aerodynamic shape coming together to make the car look fast even when it’s parked on the curb.
The new C-Class Coupe looks just as good as its sedan counterpart, but it features distinctive styling and a lower profile. It hugs the road with a tad more passion. The entire C-Class family received a makeover, and now its models boast more interior volume.
C-Class Coupe
One reviewer for Yahoo! wrote, “The revived C-Class family now turns heads like the best of them, inside and out.” Indeed, the vehicle’s interior is just as appealing as its exterior. The finishing inside will make drivers feel they have purchased a car that cost $100,000 instead of the C-Class Coupes starting MSRP of around $40,000.
Powertrain Options for Everyone
Once you sit behind the wheel of the C-Class coupe and rev its engine, you’ll want to start taking the long route to work.
Reports indicate that Mercedes-Benz will offer eight engine options for the C-Class coupe in Europe. While it isn’t yet known how many of those options will be available in the United States, it is reasonable to assume that buyers will have no shortage of choices. Sensible drivers who simply want to get from point A to point B in style might choose a turbocharged four-cylinder, which boasts 241 ponies. Those with an appetite for true power can opt for the V8 engine that comes in the AMG® version of the car.
The vehicle’s finely tuned exhaust offers a soundtrack that makes the car sound as delicious as it looks.
Smooth Transmission and Suspension
The car comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission that times its shifts flawlessly for smooth performance. The 2018 coupe edition may boast a nine-speed transmission for even better shifting.
A huge perk of this car’s transmission is the sailing function, which disconnects the engine from the driveline when the car is coasting in either Eco or Comfort mode. This can save on fuel without compromising the driving experience.
The coupe’s suspension also deserves a nod of approval. It features agility control, which makes the corners firm but doesn’t compromise on the smooth quality of the ride. The adaptive suspension lets you choose how connected you want to feel with the road.
It is easy to talk about specs for days when it comes to a machine such as the C-Class, but what does it feel like to drive? In a word: amazing.
Over The Top Luxury and Technology
The C-Class Coupe offers a fresh luxurious experience that will make you feel you’ve stepped into the future. Choose a bold upholstery color, such as red, to give your C-Class an extra kick of uniqueness. Regardless of the interior color, however, you will note that the dark wood accents combine flawlessly with the displays and controls to produce the impression of sheer art.
As you would expect from Mercedes-Benz, the coupe features the company’s smart COMAND® infotainment system, which can help you navigate and control your tunes. A touchpad in the center console gives you a new way to control the sharp central display. Also, be sure to take advantage ofmbrace®, the Mercedes-Benz app that allows you to do things such as remotely start the vehicle. You can even set a curfew for it — a handy feature if you have a teenage driver in the house. Five years of thembrace® Connect service come standard with the vehicle.
Other technological highlights include a suite of safety features. For instance, 360-degree sensors alert you to danger, and automatic braking can prevent or mitigate collisions. There is even an available Heads Up display that appears to float over the hood in front of the windshield, so you don’t have to look to the side to check the next instruction from the navigation system.
The new C-Class Coupe is truly a welcome addition to the Mercedes-Benz family. With its impressive styling, opulent luxury, and addictive driving experience, it deserves a spot in the garage of anyone who appreciates top-notch engineering.
