On the evening of February 23, 2021, the sixth generation of Mercedes-Benz C-Class with chassis code W 206 was officially released. Like the new S-Class, the new C-Class is also built on the MRA 2 modular longitudinal engine platform, with an increased ratio of high-strength steel and aluminum alloy.
The standard wheelbase version has increased by 25mm compared to the previous generation, with a body length increase of 65mm and a body width increase of 10mm. In terms of power, the new C-Class still has the M 254 series 1.5T and 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engines. Only the four-cylinder new C-Class has the 48V mild hybrid system as standard, which can provide an additional 15 kW and 200 N·m of power. The new car also continues to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission, and some models offer the 4Matic four-wheel drive system. Plug-in hybrid models will also be launched subsequently.
The interior design follows the W 223 new generation S-Class design. The second-generation MBUX infotainment system supports OTA upgrades, while the central control screen is slightly tilted towards the driver. The maximum 2.5-degree rear-wheel steering system has also been added to the C-Class, making it the only one in its class.
Against the backdrop of electrification, the demand for energy-saving, emission reduction and intelligence is also forcing fuel vehicles and traditional car companies to have a fast iteration ability and product differentiation process.
