More Expert Reviews on Virtus and C-Class [2011-2014]

Refreshed

Mercedes has given the C-class a mid-life facelift. AUTO BILD INDIA takes it for a spin…

The C of change

We tested the Mercedes-Benz C200 CGI earlier last month and were quite impressed with the torquey engine and the overall fuel efficiency. Mercedes-Benz currently sells the C200 CGI in Avantgarde trim only and the variant that we tested was an Elegance trim. So, Mercedes-Benz sent us the C200 CGI in the Avantgarde trim for a photo shoot. Testing the car for performance and fuel efficiency run wasn’t required as there was no change in the engine.

The C of change

By CarWale Team11 Jun 2010

Green and clean fuels seem to be the mantra these days. Bio-fuels, hybrids and electric cars are what car manufacturers are leaning towards. The development costs of these technologies are high and the impact of this directly impacts customers. Mercedes-Benz too believes in saving our blue planet (as earth appears when viewed from the space) and recently we saw their BlueEfficiency technology being used in their new cars (Yes, BlueEfficiency won the CarWale Green initiative award). We first saw it on the E350 CDI, and now even the new C200 CGI has been badged with the BlueEfficiency tag. The BlueEfficiency cars have undergone changes in their aerodynamic design, powertrains and have made use of lighter construction materials in some cases.
