The lowest mixed figure among measured rows is 4.5 l/100 km on 5th-generation C200d 2.0 AT (7.7 s). The highest mixed figure among measured rows is 10.9 l/100 km on 2nd-generation restyling C320 3.2 MT. The shortest 0–100 among measured rows is 4.9 s on 4th-generation restyling Coupe C400 3.0 AT. The longest measured 0–100 is 16.6 s on 1st-generation C220D 2.2 MT (95 hp). Top speed of 250 km/h appears on several later high-output versions (C400 3.0 AT, C300d 2.0 AT, C300, C350 3.5 AT). The lowest measured top speed is 187 km/h on 1st-generation C180 1.8 AT Estate 5-door.
Dimensions and weight
Wheel sizes are not measured on most listed versions. Ground clearance is 150 mm on the listed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation rows that record it (one 3rd-generation restyling C350 3.5 AT AWD Turbo row has clearance not measured; C200 1.8 MT and C200 1.8 AT on that Coupe restyling are 140 mm). 4th and 5th generation listed rows are 130 mm.
Fuel tank: 62 l on listed 1st and 2nd generation versions; 66 l on listed 3rd generation Estate 5-door and 4th generation restyling Coupe; 67 l on 3rd generation restyling Coupe; 41 l on 4th generation Cabrio. 5th generation: 66 l on C180 1.5 AT; tank not measured on the other 11 listed rows.
Kerb weight (kg), where measured: 1st generation restyling Sedan C180 1.8 MT is 1250 (lowest measured kerb in this dataset). 5th generation C220d 2.0 AT AWD 7.5 s is 1840. Gross weight, where measured, runs from 1830 (1st restyling C180 1.8 MT / C180 1.8 AT) to 2410 (5th generation C220d 2.0 AT AWD 7.5 s). Several rows have kerb or gross not measured (for example 3rd generation C300 3.0 MT / C300 3.0 AT, 2nd restyling C180 1.8 AT kerb, 1st restyling C230 Kompressor 2.0 AT kerb).
Wheels that are measured: 4th restyling Coupe C200 1.5 AT RWD and C300 — 225/45 R18, 245/40 R18. 4th Cabrio listed versions — 225/50 R17, 225/45 R18, 225/40 R19. 1st restyling C240 2.4 MT — 205/55 R16, 195/65 R15. 5th generation listed versions — 205/60 R16, 235/50 R17.
Front brakes on listed later versions are Ventilated disc; rear is Disc or Disc ventilated as labelled in the source. Suspension, where given, is Independent, spring front and rear.
Which version to choose
Differences below are arithmetic on the catalogue numbers.
If the priority is 0–100, the listed peak is 4th-generation restyling Coupe C400 3.0 AT: 4.9 s, 333 hp, 480 Nm, 2996 cc, AWD, Automatic 9. That is 0.3 s quicker than the Cabrio C400 3.0 AT at 5.2 s with the same 333 hp and 480 Nm. 5th-generation C300d 2.0 AT RWD at 5.7 s / 5.8 s (265 hp, 550 Nm) is 0.8–0.9 s slower than that Coupe C400 3.0 AT but uses a 1993 cc Diesel 4 Inline Turbo instead of a 2996 cc Gasoline 6 V-shaped Turbo. 4th restyling C300d 2.0 AT (RWD and AWD) both record 6.0 s at 245 hp — 20 hp and 50 Nm below the 5th-generation C300d 2.0 AT (265 hp, 550 Nm).
If the priority is mixed consumption, 5th-generation C200d 2.0 AT at 4.5 l/100 km (7.7 s row) is 0.2 below the other C200d 2.0 AT row at 4.7, and 3.6 below 4th restyling Coupe C400 3.0 AT at 8.1. 4th restyling C200d 1.6 MT mixed 4.7 matches that 4.7 Diesel Estate figure but with 160 hp vs 120 hp. Cabrio Diesel mixed figures cluster at 4.8–5.3.
If the priority is a manual gearbox, it is present on listed 1st–4th generation rows (5 or 6 speeds) and is not present on the 12 listed 5th-generation versions (all Automatic 9). The 4th restyling Coupe keeps one manual: C200d 1.6 MT.
If the priority is AWD, it appears on selected 2nd–5th generation rows (for example 2nd C230 Kompressor 1.8 AT AWD with 0–100 not measured; 3rd C300 3.0 AT AWD 7.3 s; 4th Cabrio C200 2.0 AT AWD 8.0 s vs RWD 7.8 s; 4th restyling C220d 2.0 AT AWD is 0.3 s slower than RWD and 7 km/h lower in top speed). 1st generation listed versions are all RWD.
If the priority is kerb mass, 1st restyling Sedan C180 1.8 MT at 1250 kg is 590 kg lighter than 5th C220d 2.0 AT AWD 1840 kg. 4th restyling Coupe C180 1.6 AT 156 hp at 1455 kg is 50 kg lighter than the C180 1.6 AT 150 hp row at 1505 kg.
If the priority is tank range potential from tank size alone, Cabrio listed versions use 41 l — 25 l less than the 66 l Coupe restyling tank and 26 l less than the 67 l 3rd-generation Coupe tank.
