The official announcement came in and a new Mercedes Benz CLC (Sport Coupe) is ready to be released. It has the same C-class radiator grille we’re used with and the big Mercedes logo on it, new projection-beam headlamps, a new rear bumper and third brake LED light. Mercedes Benz unveiled his New CLC sports car of C-Class. The new Mercedes CLC at the Berlin Fashion Week. The Mercedes CLC 200 CDI is powered by a 2.0 liter engine developing 122 hp and 270 Nm of torque. The top speed of the Mercedes CLC 200 CDI is 206 km/h with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 11.3 seconds. The Mercedes CLC 220 CDI develops 150 hp and 340 Nm of torque with the 0-100km/h acceleration time dropping to 9.7 seconds and the top speed going up to 224 km/h.

A wide range of wheels and tyres is available ex factory for the new Sports Coupe. Customers have a choice of ten different wheel types featuring different tyre sizes – from the 16-inch 5-spoke light-alloy wheel to the 18-inch AMG wheel. The six-cylinder Mercedes CLC 230 and Mercedes CLC 350 models already come with standard-fit 16-inch and 17-inch light-alloy wheels respectively. The dynamic, powerful appearance of the Mercedes CLC with sports package is accentuated by the standard-fit 18-inch 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels and 225/40 R 18 (front) and 245/35 R 18 (rear) tyres. Optional extras available for this model variant include multi-spoke light-alloy wheels (18 inch) and AMG light-alloy wheels (18 inch). The optional PARKTRONIC parking aid is just one of the many systems and details that have been newly developed or enhanced for the Sports Coupe. The ultrasonic sensors are now set flush in the front and rear bumpers; these sensors identify obstacles that appear at a distance of 100 (front) or 80 centimeters (rear) in front of or behind the Mercedes CLC. The system response during straight-line reversing has been reprogrammed: in this situation, the visual and acoustic warning for the driver is suppressed if the front end of the Sports Coupe passes a stationary obstacle. This means in practice that if the Mercedes CLC, for instance, is backed out of the garage, a warning is no longer given if the ultrasonic sensors have identified the garage walls or the door frame.

The driver can concentrate fully on reversing. The system then only responds if the driver turns the steering wheel and an obstacle appears in the area covered by PARKTRONIC. Information, communication, navigation, entertainment – four components that are currently just as important when driving as, say, agile handling, a high level of comfort or powerful engines. Nobody wants to be without news, telephone, navigation or music in the car. That is why these topics feature at the top of our list of priorities when developing new Mercedes models, including the Mercedes CLC: the Sindelfingen engineers have developed a new generation of units for the Sports Coupe that bring luxury-class cutting-edge technology to the two-door model.
