The range’s lineup comprises the C200 turbopetrol and C220d -diesel. Both engines are fitted with a 48V electrical system that operates an electric motor capable of adding 15 kW and 200 Nm to the outputs. The electric motor takes over functions such as gliding (something that used to be done by decoupling the motor and transmission); the new setup sees the engine shut off (when coasting), after which the electric motor takes over.

Power : 147 kW/440 Nm
Gearbox : 9 Speed Automatic Transmission

Only the C200 and the C220d are on sale at the moment, but Mercedes-Benz South Africa plans to introduce the C43 later this year and the AMG C63 in early 2023.
