Mercedes-Benz C200 has a 2.0T displacement, and the C200L is a low-power version of the 2.0T. Power specifications: It is equipped with the low-power version of the M274-2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 184 horsepower/5500rpm and a peak torque of 300 N·m/1200-4000rpm. It is paired with a 7-speed 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission. Other features: The C200L adopts multi-link independent suspension both in the front and rear, and is equipped with a rearview camera, automatic parking assist, GPS navigation system, and rear side privacy glass.

I remember when researching Mercedes-Benz models, I found that the C200 has indeed widely adopted a 2.0-liter turbocharged displacement in recent years. For example, the new C-Class models after 2020, such as the W205 or newer generations, are mostly equipped with this engine, delivering around 194 to 204 horsepower, offering strong performance and reasonable fuel consumption. Turbocharging technology makes the car more responsive at low speeds, ensuring smooth city driving, but during prolonged high-speed acceleration, the engine temperature might rise, requiring maintenance. Older models like the pre-2015 W204 generation sometimes used a 1.8T or naturally aspirated engine, so it's important to carefully check the year and report when buying a used car. The advantage of the modern C200 is its balance between performance and environmental friendliness, offering more power than the C180's 1.5T and higher comfort for long-distance driving. It's advisable to ask the dealer for the configuration sheet during a test drive to avoid misunderstandings.

As someone who has repaired cars for many years, the C200 has been equipped with a 2.0T engine in the past decade. I have serviced quite a few of them, with a standard displacement of approximately 1991cc. The turbocharged design enhances fuel efficiency and provides quick response. Common issues during inspections and repairs include spark plug carbon buildup or exhaust system failures, so regular oil changes and cleaning are recommended. If the engine label shows M274 or a newer model, it definitely has the 2.0T engine, but earlier models like those before 2008 might have smaller displacements or diesel versions. Be cautious to avoid counterfeit or refurbished cars—paying attention to these details can save on repair costs. Overall, it's reliable and very beginner-friendly.

Having driven for decades, I know that the C200 now mostly uses a 2.0T engine, which is fuel-efficient and powerful. I remember that some older models a decade ago didn't, but after 2018, Mercedes-Benz standardized this. On the highway, it's smooth, turns easily, and is convenient to maintain with simpler upkeep—modern technology is good. The downside might be a slightly slower start, but it's sufficient for daily use. The improvements over the old C-Class are significant.
