Mercedes has checked out the competition and is believes that the only way to step up their game is to create a car that could replace the old models that we have grown bored of seeing. We were able to get some spy shots of the new CLC sport coupe out on the streets during a test run.
Although the new CLC Sport coupe will mimic the design of the brand-new C-class sedan, the upcoming coupe is actually built around the mechanics of the existing model - and hence based on the chassis of the outgoing C class. The basic concept of the car - short coupe with huge tailgate - will remain unchanged, too.
The name, on the other hand, is likely to be replaced by the somewhat easier “CLC” badge. Like with the outgoing model, buyers will have the option between the four-cylinder C180 (156 bhp, compressor) or C200 (184 bhp, compressor) and the six-cylinder C230 (204 bhp) or C350 (272 bhp). New on offer might be the C280 V6 delivering 231 bhp. Diesel enthusiasts might prefer the C200 CDI (136 bhp) or C220 CDI (170 bhp).
Unfortunately we don’t see much of a change in the design. In fact we think that the design may have gone down in style making it less desirable. We won’t be able to tell completely all of the changes that have been made to it until it is finished and ready to be shown off.
