T And T Motors
Mercedes Benz is an internationally recognized manufacturer of AMG, Compact Luxury, Tourers, Saloons, Coupes, Cabriolets & Roadsters and SUVs. The STYLE C 220 d falls under the C class Saloons manufactured by Mercedes Benz. Mercedes Benz as a manufacturer has been known for its dedication to preventing road accidents and ensuring the safety of the passengers. The company has come up with new and innovative Active Safety features which are designed to reduce road accidents. Various safety features, like the ATTENTION ASSIST which can detect whether the driver is feeling drowsy, have helped in preventing accidents in many instances. When you plan to purchase a Mercedes STYLE C 220 d it is essential that you check the on road price of the car. For example if you want to know about the Mercedes C class price in India then it is advisable that you get in touch with the customer desk of an authorized Mercedes Benz dealer.
In 1995, the C-Class received its first genuine performance model, the C 36 AMG, to counter the new six-cylinder BMW M3. Developed with AMG, the tuning house that had now become a subsidiary of Daimler-Benz, it had racing-tuned suspension (lowered by 25 mm (1 in)) and in the USA, a four-speed automatic gearbox, followed by a standard five-speed automatic gearbox. Two versions exist: a saloon (chassis W202.033) and estate also called the "T version" (chassis W202.093). The overall body of the C43 AMG estate version has many similarities with the C36 AMG, except for the front and rear bumpers as well as the side body, both of which were re-designed. The black engine cover with the chrome AMG and Mercedes-Benz star logos is also very typical from that period in this market segment. Some differences have been reported between the 1998 and the 2000 version such as the ECU software on the 2000 version that seems to provide better gearbOX performances and longer life to the gearbox. Also the 2000 model gives the possibility to up or down lift the steering wheel and has the AMG forged letters on the brakes calipers. The C43 is powered by a tuned version of the 4.3-liter M113 V8 engine originally found on the W210 E 430 model.
The BMW 4 Series range - made up of the Coupe, Gran Coupe and Convertible - has been around since 2013, with over 400,000 examples sold globally during that time. The convertible has always lagged behind its stablemates in the sales charts, but has a recent round of updates made it a more appealing proposition? We鈥檝e driven it in the UK for the first time to find out. BMW clearly didn鈥檛 believe there was anything wrong with how the 4 Series looked, because on the face of it very little has changed. Its recognisable front end now features slightly larger air intakes, a subtle new bumper and twin LED headlamps. In fact, it remains a sharp-looking car, but still lacks the sleek silhouette of the Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet. Tweaks have also been made to the model lineup. The core 420i and 420d models remain, while new 430i and 440i petrol editions added to the range.
It鈥檚 the former we鈥檙e driving here, in standard M Sport trim. Previously, the 430i badge would have meant a tuneful 3.0-litre staright-six under the bonnet, but fold back the roof, hit the throttle and what you hear isn鈥檛 the sonorous motor of old. The engine in our car is a strong performer with plenty of low down grunt, making it feel every bit as quick as BMW claims. As well as cranking up the performance from the 2.0-litre turbo, engineers have installed some exhaust trickery to try and make the Convertible sound like it has the engine its badge deserves. There are a few burbles when you lift of the throttle, and a mild rasp at the top end, but there鈥檚 no hiding the thrashy four-cylinder engine note buried beneath it all. Other than the shaving two seconds from its 0-62mph time, it鈥檚 difficult to see where the near-拢3,000 premium has gone.
