Shifts are firmer than in the last 5-speed C-Class that we drove, but never harsh. Not only does that beat Mercedes’ 0-60 claims by a half second, but it’s almost as fast as the discontinued but still formidable C36 super sedan! Though it did so with noticeably more vibration and noise than the company’s normally silky smooth sixes. Which, when put to the test, pushes this car to 60 in an impressive 7.6 seconds, and through the full 1/4 mile in 15.7 seconds at 89 miles-per-hour. But, that’s 37 more horsepower for the C230 than before, with an equally impressive 38 more pound-feet of torque! All fed through Mercedes’ latest 5-speed adaptive automatic transmission, and standard-for-1999, ASR traction control system. Borrowed from the SLK roadster, the 2.3-liter supercharged, intercooled 4-banger makes the same 185 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. And in the 1999 C230 Kompressor, Kompressor being German for supercharger, the difference is immediately apparent.īut first, the numbers. Something that the entry level 4-cylinder Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan definitely needed. So for 1999, Mercedes-Benz has decided to give owners of its 4-cylinder C-Class sedans a boost, and one that should help them keep up with the Jones’.īecause adding a supercharger means a big power increase. Their cars, despite having all the luxury and refinement of other Mercedes, are always outpaced by V6 and V8 models.
