Moving 19-inch wheels and privacy glass to the options list has allowed Mercedes-Benz to slash $4800 from the C200 price tag.
Mercedes-Benz Australia has lowered the point of entry to its C-Class sedan line-up by $4800 to $87,800 by moving equipment to the options list.
Previously, the C200 was positioned at $92,600 and featured 19-inch AMG two-tone multi-spoke wheels and rear privacy glass, the new C200 now features 18-inch single-colour AMG wheels in lieu of the former.
Both the 19-inch wheels and privacy glass can be optioned with the Design Package, which is priced at $1800.
As before, powering the C200 is a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, outputting a 150kW/300Nm total, with 48-volt mild-hybrid system that can add a 15kW/200Nm boost under certain conditions.
Drive is sent to the rear axle via a nine-speed automatic transmission, with fuel economy rated at 7.3 litres per 100km.
Standard equipment from last year’s C200 continues as before, which includes Artico synthetic leather seats, heated and electronically adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, interior ambient lighting, wireless smartphone charging, and a head-up display.
In-cabin technology also extends to a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch portrait-oriented infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support, built-in satellite navigation, and digital radio.
In terms of safety, the C200 features a suite, including autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, and a surround-view monitor.
