2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 Luxury Trim Overview

Making its debut for 2012, the Mercedes-Benz C250 Luxury Sedan comes equipped with a turbocharged 1.8-liter 4-cylinder powerplant, which produces 201 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. The engine powers the rear-wheel-drive C250 Luxury from 0-60 in 7.1 seconds and links to a 7-speed automatic transmission with the Touch Shift manual-shift feature. Fuel economy numbers check in at 21/31 mpg. Premium fuel is required. An electronic stability control system, antilock brakes, brake assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers and 9 airbags are among the other standard safety features. Attention Assist, which alerts drivers if they're becoming drowsy, also comes standard.
