The 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class underwent the famous Moose Test and it turned out that it is not exactly a ballerina when swerving in hazardous situations. The premium sedan failed to behave at the standard speed of the test 77 km/h (48 mph).
The team at Km77 tested the C 300 e version with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. The system delivers a total of 333 PS (328 HP) to all four wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. With all these figures aboard, the car runs from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 245 km/h (152 mph).
Swerving through the cones at the standard speed was a difficult mission for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It hit two of the cones on the tarmac. Still, the one behind the steering wheel reported that the car reacted well to the rapid direction change. Furthermore, the team claims the C had “no strange reactions” when swerving.
It managed to cover a clean run at 73 km/h (45 mph) though, which is considered medium-low. The people at km77 hint say that they couldn’t do the maneuver in those weather conditions and with those tires on. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class wore Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 with 225/45 R18 on the front axle and 255/40 R18 on the rear axle.
The C took 24.2 seconds for the slalom, which is slower than the BMW i4, for instance, clocked at 24 seconds. The leader this year is the Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor with the Performance Pack. The model managed to do the slalom in only 22.8 seconds. The C-Class kept its composure all throughout the slalom test, displaying neutral and safe reactions.
The Mercedes-Benz C 300 e is not available in the U.S. The C 300 and the C 300 4MATIC versions are available there. soon, the C 63 S E Performance with a plug-in hybrid setup will join the lineup.
