2 Answers
The main differences between the Mercedes-Benz C260L and C260 lie in their body dimensions. The specific dimensions of the two models are as follows: 1. C260L: The body dimensions are 4784mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1457mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2920mm. 2. C260: The body dimensions are 4704mm in length, 1801mm in width, and 1454mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2840mm. Here are more details about the C260L and C260: 1. Both the C260L and C260 are equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic manual transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 280 Nm. 2. The C260L is the extended version of the C260, specifically designed for the Chinese market.
I just test drove the Mercedes-Benz C260 and C260L, and the differences are quite noticeable. The C260L is the long-wheelbase version, offering more rear legroom, allowing passengers to stretch their legs comfortably, making it ideal for family trips or when carrying friends. On the other hand, the standard-wheelbase C260 has slightly less space but offers more agile handling, making it easier to maneuver around city corners. Both models share the same 1.5T hybrid system, which is fuel-efficient and high-performing. The L version is a bit more expensive, but whether the extra space is worth it depends on your daily needs. If you frequently take long trips or often have rear passengers, go for the L; if you mostly drive alone, the C260 is sufficient. Maintenance costs are pretty much the same, both following Mercedes-Benz's service system.
