2011 Mercedes-Benz C-Class - Click above for high-res image gallery
We've got good news for the oil-burning fans of United States.
Car and Driver is reporting that
Mercedes-Benz wants to sell eight diesel models in the land of the free by 2014, and one of those will be a
C-Class.
Odds are that the vehicle won't show up until 2013, and when it does, it will come packing the Silver Arrow's 2.1-liter turbo diesel mill with 204 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. That same engine is likely to find its way into the nose of the
GLK as well, though the pint-sized crossover is expected to show its face sooner than its sedan cousin.
The GLK is likely to hit showrooms in the fall of this year as a 2012 model.
Car and Driver says that when it does, it could bring some tasty figures to the table, including a 0-60 time in the seven second range and fuel economy in the high 30s.
Currently, Mercedes-Benz serves up a diesel option in its
E,
M,
GL and
R-Class models. The S-Class is set to join that party by the end of 2011.
