Mercedes-Benz has lifted the veil on its all new 2017 C-Class Coupe.

According to Roelof Lamberts, the Sales and Marketing Director for Passenger Cars Mercedes-Benz Indonesia, this two-seater vehicle is a trusty companion for both everyday driving and long journeys.
Inside is familiar too, with a cabin taken nearly wholesale from the C-Class saloon but with new sports seats, new colour choices and the Mercedes coupe trick of “handing” you the seat belt when you plonk yourself in the seat.
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe is even more stylish than its four-door version, with its headlights swept up dramatically onto the front fenders, a prominent crease running through the door handles, and a second character line that rise from the bottom of the car’s bodysides.
The C-Class coupe’s dimensions give the front end a long, sleek appearance with 2.4 more inches between the firewall and front axle compared with its predecessor. The four petrol units range from a 1.6-litre four-cylinder of 154bhp, through 2-litre 181bhp and 208bhp variants to the range-topping unit, also of two litres but with 241bhp. Standard Attention Assist monitors the driver for signs of fatigue, Collision Prevention Assist warns of an impending crash, and Adaptive Brake Assist can provide autonomous braking in certain situations, at speeds up to 124 miles per hour.
Initially the Coupe will be offered with a six-strong engine choice. Alongside its rear-wheel drive configuration, the C-Class coupe will also be available with optional 4Matic four-wheel drive in combination with selected engines. New S63 AMG Sedan is the 10th model that the company has launched in 2015 and is also the 9th AMG model in the Indian market. Although there is no mention on official timing specifications of each model.
The AMG S 63 rivals the likes of the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Maserati Quattroporte GTS and becomes the ninth AMG model in Mercedes’ Indian portfolio. It runs the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 as the recently introduced C63 AMG sedan and estate, with up to 375kW.
Also standard on all C300 coupes will be LED headlamps, keyless ignition, a 7.0-inch screen for Mercedes-Benz’s COMAND system, and climate control that uses GPS to detect tunnels, at which point it automatically switches to recirculation mode.

As standard, the C300 comes genuinely well equipped-notable features include the panorama sunroof and sports suspension package.
