Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic to get detuned 3.5L V6 in 2013





The Mercedes-Benz all-wheel-drive C300 4Matic; equipped with an aging 3.0L V6 that only provides 228bhp and 300Nm of torque will soon be replaced by a detuned direct-injection 3.5L V6 mill that provides 248bhp and 340Nm of torque.

With a kerb wight of 1,695kg, the C300's new detuned V6 engine will be 54bhp and 30Nm down from the original figures of 302bhp and 370Nm of torque, which still provides better power figures than original and should be rated with better fuel economy figures.

The C300 will also be added with a stop-start function as well as an Eco mode as standard, so that should make it even more frugal on fuel consumption; especially when the C300's kerb weight comes in at a hefty 1,695kg.
