About the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W206
The W206 generation C-Class, launched in 2021, represents a significant shift for Mercedes-Benz by adopting a four-cylinder-only engine line-up across the entire range. Heavily influenced by the W223 S-Class, it features a portrait-oriented 11.9-inch MBUX infotainment screen and a minimalist, high-tech cabin. The C 200 utilizes a 1.5-litre M254 engine paired with a 48V integrated starter-generator (ISG) that provides an additional 20 hp boost. While it prioritises comfort and digital integration, the AMG Line trim adds a sharper aesthetic with 18-inch wheels and a sportier interior treatment.
