Appeared at the end of 2007, the Mercedes C-Class has gradually expanded its range of engines in both petrol and diesel. One of the most interesting is probably the Mercedes C 250 CDI Blue Efficiency Avantgarde. Here with a pack AMG body makes more visually aggressive, this sedan hiding under the hood a 4-cylinder twin-turbo diesel that develops 204 hp and delivers a very generous torque of 500 Nm available from 1700 rpm.
In addition to performance barrel, the interest comes from the low consumption, low enough to escape the penalty despite the ecological available cavalry. Mercedes has even stamped BluEfficiency, the eco-label German brand. Several elements allow us to reduce consumption, and aerodynamics has been particularly careful with these bases or keeled mirrors profiles. At the wheel of Mercedes C 250 CDI Blue Efficiency Avantgarde, this C-Class proved unsurprisingly very flexible with a ton of torque available very early: the slightest pressure on the accelerator makes its effect.

All this would be very nice if this 4-cylinder only showed a little too noisy, especially given the standard and the price of the car. Another complaint, the 5-speed automatic transmission fishing being slow, even if in return it offers a soft feel. In addition, it increased the C 250 CDI above the threshold of ecological penalty when it is associated with 17-inch wheels, like those of our car.
Later behavior, the C-Class is more dynamic than the previous generation, more pleasant to drive, but less comfortable, especially at low speed. The speed-sensitive steering is precise but still gives the feeling of “sticky”, particularly if the Mercedes. It is not a value-judgment, but the regulars appreciate The driver, who has generally not much to complain anyway, has a well appointed cockpit, but rather austere despite the aluminum inserts. The quality of presentation is rather flattering, but Class C remains on this point below the reference category, namely the Audi A4. Well, attention is well anyway, eh! But there was better
Just as there are better habitability, including the rear seat or trunk space. Oh yes, and there is also better fare: our car costs 53,104.64 US Dollar without options, and options are both expensive and large, as usual at Mercedes. With this attractive double glazed roof, GPS, AMG package, leather seats or folding rear seats (yes, this is an option), among others, our C 250 CDI actually cost more than 63,366.94 US Dollars.
