Grille: Mercedes-Benz C 250 BlueTEC 4Matic

Which he proves not only with his size, but also with his shape, engines and, last but not least, the equipment that he (may) have. For the latter, however, the more of it, the better we feel in the car. Of course, the same goes for the engine. Among the many, the 250 BlueTEC turbodiesel is the most powerful diesel choice (while still only slightly inferior to the most powerful petrol) and also the most expensive of all the Cs at 45.146 euros. The driver has 204 "horsepower" and as much as 500 Newton meters of torque, and the transmission is provided by a seven-speed automatic transmission.

And if you're worried about getting confused at the rear, that's of course overkill, as the label in the name reveals that the test car was also equipped with four-wheel drive. To put it simply, the test car brought together almost all the best that Mercedes has to offer in this class, so we can only bow to the ride. Enough power, even more torque. If you move to the other side, such a car (or engine) can also be economical when driving quietly, but I find it hard to believe that it will leave you indifferent to the point that you will not engage in dynamic driving even for a little.

Equipment? It goes well with such an engine, and Avangard equipment is an excellent choice. Also because it provides a sportier look, including a large star on the hood rather than a small, classic hood top. But we were still confused by the tree inside - we consider it noble (walnut root), but in such a dynamic car, this may not be the right choice. This is only our comment, whoever chooses such a machine and pays for it will simply equip it in their own way. The choice is huge, because the components for the test car have risen in price by almost 12 thousand euros. Nothing, as always - the stars are not cheap.
