As for the engine revamp, the Mercedes C-class saloon will let go of its existing five-speed engine and will receive the brand new four-cylinder diesel and petroleum engine units along with an option to upgrade to the seven-speed automatic transmission.  Sources also revealed that the current 3.5 litre V6 engine will be replaced with a brand new engine that comes from the car company’s MoVe engines but will have the same capacity.

It is assumed that the revamping of the Mercedes C-class saloon will come with the adaption of Blutec diesel power trains and stop-start systems for engines.  The remodeled Mercedes C-class saloon will make its debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show and will drive into the showrooms by the end of this year.  Industry talks say that the coming of the remodeled Mercedes C-class saloon later this year will beat the launch of BMW’s next generation 3-Series and Audi’s remodeled A4 that are set to launch shortly.

The three new engine options were derived from the DNA of 4-cylinder power plants while the C350 a V6 CGI Bluefficiency engine.

The C220 gets a 2.2L turbodiesel CDI BlueEfficiency under its hood which is claimed to be the most efficient of the pack. This new engine outputs 170hp and generates a torque of 295 lb-ft. The C220 can burst from 0 to 100 in an impressive 8.4 seconds. The car’s fuel mileage is also excellent at 49 mpg or 4.8L/100km. Emissions will also not be a problem at 127 g/km.

Another member of the new C-Class line up is the C250 turbodiesel with CDI BlueEfficiency. The powertrain under the hood of the C250 is more powerful with 204 hp and a torque of 369lb-ft. The C250 only takes 7 seconds flat to blaze the car from 0 to 100. It is also very fuel efficient with a mileage of 5.1 L/100km or 46 mpg.

The last sibling in the C-Class brood is the CGI BluEfficiency petrol fueled C250. The engine can also generate a 204 hp but with a lower torque at 229 lb-ft. This variant takes 7.4 second to accelerate from 0 to 100. Its not as fuel efficient as the other two cars with a return of 32 mpg or 7.2 L/100km.

Mercedes-Benz has yet to announce when the new C-Class variants will be available in the US and other markets. It is now limited to Europe and is available both as the Estate and Sedan models. The C-class Mercedes is still doing reasonably bad in Europe compared to BMW‘s 3-series, but with these green car touches, we hope Mercedes can move up the ranks soon!
