The compression ratio is a fairly high 10.6:1, as is the redline at 6500rpm. Highly oversquare bore dimensions of 89.9 x 78.7mm mean the C180's 2.0-litre engine likes to rev and can sound on the loud side, but there is good torque on offer right from idle - enough to make the supercharged version of the same engine found in the C200K seem somewhat pointless. Did you know?The C-class sedan range includes the 2.0-litre C180, supercharged 2.0-litre C200 Kompressor, the 2.2-litre diesel C220CDI, 2.6-litre V6 C240 and the 3.2-litre V6 C320All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
