The Mercedes-Benz C-Class specifications centre on three engines that all share a nine-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. Each unit adds a 48 volt mild-hybrid system for smoother stop-start running. The spec sheet is where the fuel choice really shows its hand.

The C 200 uses a 1.5 litre turbo petrol with 204 PS and 300 Nm. The C 300 steps up to a 2.0 litre petrol making 258 PS and 400 Nm. The diesel C 220d produces 200 PS and a strong 440 Nm for low-rev pull. In brake horsepower those read 201 bhp, 255 bhp and 197 bhp.

On fuel, the diesel leads at 23 kmpl, well clear of the two petrols. The C 200 is rated at 16.9 kmpl and the C 300 at 15 kmpl. Mild-hybrid assistance helps both petrols in slow traffic. You can check each C-Class mileage rating against its engine.

At 4751 mm long on a 2865 mm wheelbase, it stays compact for a luxury sedan. The boot holds 455 litres and the fuel tank 66 litres. Ground clearance is 157 mm and seating is for five. Width is 1820 mm and height 1438 mm, keeping the car low and planted.

Safety and comfort equipment rises with each trim, from the C 200 up to the C 300. Rear-wheel drive gives the C-Class a balanced feel on the move. The higher cars add more cabin features over the base car. See what the C-Class costs in your city once you have settled on an engine and trim.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class power and torque explained

The C-Class comes with three engines, and every one runs a 48V mild-hybrid setup through a 9 speed automatic. You get a 1.5 litre turbo petrol, a 2.0 litre turbo petrol, and a 2.0 litre turbo diesel.

They feel quite different. The diesel pulls hardest from down low and stays the most relaxed. The 1.5 petrol feels the most eager to be worked hard. The 2.0 petrol has the most power and the sharpest pace.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 2.0L Turbo Diesel Mild Hybrid spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 1.5 litre turbo petrol makes its 300 Nm of torque at 1800 rpm, so it pulls away easily in city traffic. It then stays willing right up to peak power at 5800 rpm, a 4000 rpm spread that keeps you off the lower gears. This is the relaxed all-rounder for daily driving with the odd highway run. If it sounds right, the complete C-Class rundown covers the rest of the spec.

The 2.0 litre turbo diesel is the muscle of the range, with a big 440 Nm of torque arriving at just 1800 rpm. Power tops out low as well at 3600 rpm, a short 1800 rpm gap, so you never need to wind it out. That easy low-down strength suits long highway miles and a fully loaded car. If you rack up big distances, this is the effortless one to live with.

The 2.0 litre turbo petrol is the most powerful of the three, making 258 PS with 400 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. That torque lands a touch later than the smaller petrol, then it pulls right to peak power at 5800 rpm. Across that 3800 rpm span it feels eager up top, so quick overtakes and spirited driving come easily. Pick it for the fastest C-Class, and compare all three engines before you commit.
