Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabriolet Rear
(Mercedes-Benz C300 Cabriolet’s rear is completely different than that of the C-Magnificence sedan)
The C-Magnificence sedan is an fashionable vehicle in its personal proper. but once the engineers at Stuttgart decided to take the roof off and decrease the quantity of doorways to 2, you can not helphowever take notice. What a terrific searching vehicle! The traces on the frame are clean and make the auto look sporty but stylish. This is key since the the front give up is much like the sedan – barring the grille – which makes use of chrome pins instead of the 2 silver slats. The redesigned bumper is sportier thanthe one at the sedan. And the rear is completely extraordinary with sleeker tail-lamps, a re-styled bumper and a shorter boot.Overall, the cabriolet looks in reality neat and could without problems be one of thegreat searching automobiles when it hits Indian shores towards the cease of of the 12 months.
The Cabrio’s Cabin
As is going with all Mercedes-Benz motors, the indoors is luxuriously appointed. Our Test automobile hada chic twin-tone shade scheme of cranberry red and black which seemed quite Desirable. The seats had been comfy and certainly sat lower than on the sedan. well bolstered and supportive, you may becomfortable on the longer drives too. Make no mistake, the C300 Cabriolet is a 2+2, which means that that it does have seats at the rear but for ‘massive‘ adults like me it receives a chunk tight! The system list isjust like the sedan’s.

How Does It Power?
The C-Class Cabriolet family has a total of eight petrol engines and diesel engines to pick from the world over. but from what we gathered on the product briefing, the C300 is the one with a purpose to mostlikely make it to India, so we’re happy that is what we got our fingers on for this Check. Getting the numbers out of the manner, beneath the hood is a 2.zero-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged motor that churns out 245bhp at five,500rpm and pumps out a stable 370Nm of torque from as little as 1,300rpm thru tofour,000rpm. Mercedes-Benz claims that the C300 can do the zero-100Km/h dash in 6.four seconds and it has an electronically constrained pace of 250Km/h.

The engine has a large mid-range and can happily cruise at triple digit speeds without a hiccup. We mayupload that the exhaust observe was especially delicious! And but NVH ranges are outstanding – in spite of the pinnacle down, the quantity of noise creeping in the cabin turned into minimum. The 9G-TRONIC transmission unit makes mild paintings of shifting via the gears and in case you want to take the matter into your very own palms (erm, palms) – by means of the usage of the paddleshift. There may beDynamic Select that helps you pick out from five driving modes acceptable to your wishes. You can opt for Mercedes’ 4Matic AWD system or stay with the standard RWD system on offer.
Our Take a look at motors were equipped with the optional AIRMATIC suspension and it certainly is a fitment worth paying the extra money for. An incredibly balanced setup intended the car dealt with twists and awful roads with same aplomb, something we observed out on our Force throughout the border into the Slovenian nation-state. Of course, the roads have been properly-paved but the bumps and potholes we went over, have been rarely felt. The C300 Cabriolet handles nicely and reacts to the guidance inputs with minimum fuss – although its AMG modify ego is leagues in advance on this regard.

So What Will we Think?
Of the ten editions, this is the only with the intention to in all possibility make it to us in India – and we will be satisfied if it does. The C300 Cabriolet is a remarkable, properly-rounded package that holds a number of promise. however in a country in which convertibles aren’t precisely famous, thanks to the intense climate situations it’s going to stay area of interest. On overall performance and practicalityalthough, the C300 Cabriolet stands shoulder to shoulder with the sedan on maximum fronts.
