Replacing the W205 C-Class that has been around since 2014, the new W206 is the latest generation of Mercedes’ best-selling model range, with about 10.5-million units sold to date (including the 190E that preceded the C-Class in 1982). The latest version is produced at the Mercedes-Benz SA East London plant. The 2.0 turbo diesel is a gem of an engine both in performance and fuel economy. The C220d is a punchy performer that delivers strong torque across the rev range without succumbing to turbo lag, and the quick-shifting 9G-Tronic auto gearbox adds to its lively nature. The car has quicker gearshift, throttle and steering responses when Sports mode is selected, but even in the default Comfort mode it feels satisfyingly peppy and raring to go. In straight-line performance there’s nothing to choose between the petrol and diesel stablemates; the C220d claims the same 0-100km/h sprint in 7.3 seconds and 245km/h top speed.
