Chronology
Predecessor	Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205)

The Mercedes-Benz W206 is the fifth generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class which is produced by Daimler AG since 2021. It replaces the W205 C-Class which has been produced since 2014.^[2] The W206 C-Class is based on the Mercedes MRA II rear-wheel drive modular platform also used by the W223 S-Class.^[3]

Design[]

All W206 C-Class models are equipped with four-cylinder engines that have an integrated starter generator (15 kW electric motor) and a 48-volt electrical system. Daimler does not offer the W206 with halogen headlamps.^[3]

The W206 has independent front and rear suspension. The front axle is a four-link axle, the rear axle is a multi-link axle. Rear axle steering with a steering angle of 2.5 degrees is available as a factory option; the turning circle is reduced by 0.4 m to 10.6 m with the rear axle steering option.^[3] The interior styling is related to the S-Class (W223). The C-Class also has a central LCD display with a screen diagonal of either 9 in (230 mm) or 11.9 in (300 mm).^[3]

The C-Class All-Terrain was released as the crossover-styled estate model.^[4] Bearing the X206 codename, it received external body cladding, a 40 mm increase in ride height, 4Matic AWD and additional drive modes.

Powertrain[]

The smallest available petrol engine is the 1.5 liter M264 engine offered in the C 180 model (rated power 125 kW (168 hp; 170 PS)),^[5] and in the C 200 model (rated power 150 kW (201 hp; 204 PS)).^[5] The C 300 model is powered by a 2.0 liter M254 petrol engine rated 190 kW (255 hp; 258 PS). It is equipped with an overboost function that allows it to produce an additional 26 kW for up to 30 seconds.^[3]

Daimler initially offers two Diesel models, the C 220d, and the C 300d. Both models are powered by the same 1992 cm³ OM654 engine, rated 147 kW (197 hp; 200 PS) in the C 220d, and 195 kW (261 hp; 265 PS) in the C 300 d. Compared with the preceding Diesel engine, the OM654 has a new crankshaft that increases the stroke to 94.3 millimeters, and two water-cooled, variable turbine geometry turbochargers.^[3] In July 2021 the C 200d was introduced with a detuned version of the above engine, now producing 120 kW (163 PS; 161 bhp) of power and 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft) of torque.

Daimler have announced that they will be offering a plug-in hybrid model with a petrol engine, the C 300e as well as a plug-in hybrid model with a diesel engine, the C 300de. The "4MATIC" all-wheel drive system will be offered as a factory option on both the C 300e and the C 300de. The plug-in hybrid models are supposed to have an all-electric range of around 100 kilometers.^[6]
