The Mercedes-Benz C is a compact, prestigious car made with sedan and station wagon bodies. The first-generation C-Class was introduced in 1993 and replaced the Mercedes-Benz W201 (190) and immediately became the most popular Mercedes-Benz car thanks to the fact that it was the cheapest in the Mercedes range. The C-Class was the smallest model in the company until 1997, when the A-Class was introduced. The most powerful variants were the C 280 with a linear 6-cylinder engine with 193 hp (142 kW) and the C 230 Kompressor with a turbocharged engine with 193 hp (142 kW) / 5300 rpm. Mercedes-Benz is, as always, famous for its diesel engines, which is why the car has been extremely popular as a taxi car for its diesel economy and excellent reliability. The C-Class models are also known for their refined interior, conservative design, excellent ride quality, comfort and innovative technology.
