Mercedes Benz C Class
It’s amazing what a bodykit and a set of larger alloy wheels can do for a car.car rental uk national car rental
Take the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In its standard form it’s a perfectly attractive car, but adding some select AMG bodystyling parts turns it into a far more noticeable and desirable model.car rental uk
The AMG kit comes as standard when you upgrade to Sport trim and gives the C-Class much more in the way of visual clout, from the chunky six-spoke alloys to the deeper front and rear bumpers and prominent three-pointed star nestling in the front grille.car rental uk national car rental
It looks the part, which is good news in a sector where drivers prefer their car to look sporty (think Audi S line and BMW M Sport).car rental uk alamo car rental
The subject of this test is the ultimate incarnation of the recently-launched C-Class estate (discounting the extreme C63 AMG).
The C320 CDI Sport tops the regular range and makes a convincing case as a desirable all-round car.car rental uk
Outside is the aforementioned sports styling pack while under the bonnet is the common rail 3.0-litre turbodiesel V6 engine that also plies its trade in the larger E, CLK, S, R, ML and GL models.
So, as the smallest car to package this engine, it’s fair to assume that the C320 CDI isn’t short of power.car rental uk national car rental
With 224bhp and 376lb-ft of torque, this engine delivers effortless performance through the standard-fit seven-speed automatic gearbox.
This performance is delivered with such smoothness that it would be hard to argue for the merits of the petrol C350 V6.
