What is the difference between the Mercedes-Benz C260L and C260?
2 Answers
C260L and C260 differ in only one aspect, which is the body size. Below is a detailed introduction to the Mercedes-Benz C260L and C260: 1. Mercedes-Benz C260L, where 'L' stands for the long-wheelbase version, while the standard wheelbase is named C260. 'L' is the abbreviation for the word 'Long,' meaning extended. The dimensions of the C260L are: 4784/1810/1457mm, with a wheelbase of 2920mm; 2. The dimensions of the C260 are: 4704/1801/1454mm, with a wheelbase of 2840mm. Whether it's Mercedes-Benz or BMW, an additional letter 'L' in the model name indicates that the vehicle is an extended version, specifically designed for the Chinese market. 3. In terms of power: The C180L is equipped with a 1.6T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 114KW and a maximum torque of 250N·m; The C260L/C260 comes with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, matched with a 9-speed automatic transmission, producing a maximum power of 135KW and a maximum torque of 280N·m; The C300L/C300 features a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, coupled with a 9-speed automatic transmission, offering a maximum power of 190KW and a maximum torque of 370N·m.
I just helped a friend compare these two Mercedes-Benz models yesterday, and the most obvious difference is the "L" representing the extended wheelbase. The C260L is about 8 centimeters longer than the standard C260, with all that extra length going to the rear seating space—legs can stretch out much more comfortably without feeling cramped. The panoramic sunroof also comes standard across the entire C260L lineup, while the standard wheelbase version requires an additional payment for it as an option. If you frequently transport family or friends, the long-wheelbase version is definitely the way to go.
