W205 C class tagged posts

Two days ago we reported the W205 C class wagon will be released in this year’s Paris Motor Show in October.

Today we bring you the good news that, if you are waiting to buy the new C wagon your wait is shorter now: Mercedes will announced the new wagon two weeks later, on May 23.

But we are not sure whether Mercedes will bring this model to US side, so this may be good news only for European readers at this moment.

Below are the spy shots of the W205 C class wagon.

While the US market will not receive the LWB version of the W205 C class, it is still good for us to check out the 2015 C260L.

The W205 LWB has a wheelbase of 115 inches, and will start to arrive in dealership lots this July, for the Chinese market. US dealerships will receive the new 2015 C class sedan two months later.

News surfaced today shows that Mercedes-Benz is working on a new trim for the upcoming W205 C Class, named C450.

It will use the same twin-turbo 3.0L V6 engine with new ECU software to boost the turbo pressure, which increases the original output of 329hp (in C400) to around 367hp for the C450.

Both RWD and 4Matic AWD options will be available. The 4Matic system distributes the 367hp to all four wheels, decreases the possibility of wheel slip during hard acceleration.

This is the only detail we know at this moment. We will report back once we get more news about the C450. Below is image of the C400.

Some spy shots of the Chinese-market-specific long wheel base W205 C class was leaked out in the internet ahead of the 2014 Beijing Auto Show.
