What are the differences between Mercedes-Benz models?
1 Answers
According to positioning, the last letter of the model name represents the class, with the prefix G representing SUVs, S representing sports cars, and C representing Coupe or coupe-style vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz GLK class has been renamed to Mercedes-Benz GLC, the M class to Mercedes-Benz GLE, and the GL class models to Mercedes-Benz GLS. This naming convention corresponds to the naming of the regular car series, making the class and positioning clear at a glance. The Mercedes-Benz CLK was renamed to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe after the introduction of the new E-Class, while the previously large coupe CL is now renamed as the S-Class Coupe. The Mercedes-Benz SLK-class sports car has also been renamed to Mercedes-Benz SLC. In terms of powertrain, most Mercedes-Benz models have completed the new powertrain system matching, so the numbers following the model names generally represent unified powertrain levels. For example, 260, 320, 400, 400h, and 500 represent an easily memorable powertrain system: 260 stands for the 2.0T high-power version, 320 for the 3.0T low-power version, 400 for the 3.0T high-power version, 400H for the 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated hybrid version, 500 for the 4.7T V8 powertrain, and 600 for the 6.0T V12 version. The 180 and 200 series are relatively more confusing. The A-Class and B-Class 180 models feature a 1.6T low-power version, the C-Class L-Class 180 has a 1.6T high-power version, and the E-Class L-Class 180 comes with a 2.0T ultra-low-power version. The A-Class and B-Class 200 models use a 1.6T high-power version, while the C-Class L-Class and E-Class L-Class 200 models are equipped with a 2.0T low-power version.
