Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé : First Look

Jay Williams - 12/July/2011

Melbourne, Australia - The new C-Class Coupé sees Mercedes-Benz enter a new market segment and for the first time offering a compact coupé with classic proportions. From the side, the new coupé displays a flat silhouette with powerful shoulders.

Typical coupé features include the short front overhang, long bonnet, steeply raked windscreen and long, stretched-out roof. The greenhouse extends far beyond the rear axle over the low-raked rear window to a sportily short tail end. At the front, the new coupé shares the same styling as the latest C-Class. 

There is a choice of three petrol and one diesel engine variants to power the C-Class Coupé, with a 7GTRONIC PLUS seven-speed automatic transmission as standard across the range.

The C-Class Coupé will be available through Australian Mercedes-Benz dealers from August 2011.
