SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday November 21 2018 27 Motoring • By Ross Kiddie VEHICLE SALES figures in the last three months show a definite trend towards smaller vehicles and those with small fuel efficient engines. That’s no surprise, rising fuel costs always have an effect on what we choose to buy. It’s no surprise either that Mercedes-Benz have joined the revolution towards fuel efficiency. That’s been a long-term programme from this high profile German luxury car maker, but it seems even more relevant today that the company’s most successful model is now available in hybrid form here. Well, let’s get this straight, the Merc C200 isn’t your traditional hybrid, it doesn’t have an electric motor helping provide drive alongside an internal combustion engine. The C200 is classed as a mild hybrid and, put simply, it has a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine that provides drive to the rear wheels. Where the hybrid element comes in is through a 48v electrical network named EQ Boost, it adds around 10kW of stored energy distributed at the point where the turbocharger is working up to full boost on acceleration, that helps the engine reach its optimum rev pattern quickly through the nine-speed MERCEDES-BENZ C200: Motorsport-inspired technology. gearshift process. There are also fuel saving and gliding modes which recuperates electrical energy. In effect, you don’t know any of this is taking place, there are no special techniques needed to drive the new C200, it is still traditional in most aspects. The C200 joins a heavily upgraded model line-up for 2019. While the exterior shape hasn’t been altered greatly, there are a lot of enhancements inside the car and an increased amount of technology for safety, as well as comfort and convenience. Column space doesn’t allow for comprehensive detailing, but the most visual change is the new display graphics – fully digitised. It can be configured into three different themes, classic, sport and progressive. They work beside a raft of varying drive modes which the driver can select at will depending upon the type of journey, driving style and road configurations. The C200 is a clever car, and if you are thinking in the first instance that just 1497cc doesn’t seem enough, you had better think again, the engine is rated with 135kW and 280Nm, and it is one of the smoothest fourpot drivelines you’ll ever get to encounter. A lot of that is to do with the areas where power is developed. As mentioned, the EQ Boost system fills in the gaps where power is building up, and with peak power arriving at just 5800rpm, and maximum torque spreading from 3000rpm to 4000rpm, there is no point where request to throttle • Price – Mercedes-Benz C200, $73,900 • Dimensions – Length, 4686mm; width, 1810mm; height, 1430mm • Configuration – Fourcylinder, rear-wheel-drive, 1497cc, 135kW, 280Nm, nine-speed automatic • Performance – 0-100km/h, 7.7sec • Fuel usage – 6.4l/100km pressure doesn’t arrive. Acceleration is strong, and you would expect that from Mercedes-Benz. It claims a 7.7sec standstill to 100km/h time, and an 80km/h to 120km/h time of 6sec is also achievable. The C- Class in this form isn’t blisteringly fast, but it is quick enough, and it gobbles up highway kilometres effortlessly; its balance and poise is remarkable, and as you drive you feel so much part of the car. It also has remarkable fuel usage figures. Mercedes-Benz claims a 6.4-litre per 100km (44mpg) combined cycle figure; the test car constantly listed close to that, and at 100km/h the trip computer readout sits around 4l/100km (70mpg) with the engine turning over at just 1500rpm in top gear. If you analyse the technical aspects of these figures and Local News Now Hybrid with a difference from Mercedes-Benz sMaLL effOrt, big resuLts!

Well, at the price it has to be, the C200 sedan lists at $73,900 and the evaluation car was carrying around $5000 of extras. Take into account you can get this driveline in an estate (station wagon), which adds $3000. Rear-wheel-drive always signifies an involving driving experience, and the C200 is true to that. There is a secure feel to the road and that, along with steering that is decisive, adds to accuracy when presented with a quick corner or two. I took the evaluation car on a route running parallel to the Selwyn River. There aren’t a lot of corners on those roads but there are a few tricky sections which I’ve tracked down over the years. The C200 enjoys the twists and challenges, it feels taut and firmly planted. Another year rolls around and the Mercedes-Benz motorsport team has clinched both the formula one driver’s and manufacturer’s title. The formula one car uses hybrid technology not dissimilar to how the hybrid system works in the C200. It’s that technology trickling down though motorsport that makes many of the cars we drive today so special.
