The German carmaker has introduced Start/Stop engine technology across the four-cylinder petrol range and sharpened prices at the same time.
Four pot C-Class sedans and wagons will use the same Start/Stop technology that has proven successful on the diesel engined C-Class models delivering greater fuel efficiency and emission reductions.
It will pay dividends to customers at the petrol pump and at point of sale as tax benefits under the "Fuel Efficient" Luxury Car Tax threshold of $75,375 come into play.
All C-Class four cylinder cars now use less than 7.0-litres/100km placing them under the LCT trigger and delivering gains in technology and safety to customers as well as reduced prices.
Mercedes-Benz's position on the LCT is well known; it does not believe or accept that any vehicle purchaser should pay LCT as it is a tax on technology and safety.
According to Mercedes Benz Australia, "No other so called luxury purchase is subject to such a regressive, discriminatory and inequitable tax. We have taken the opportunity to pass on to our customers the benefits of technology in the elimination of any LCT on these models where the price is under $75,375 due to their fuel consumption rating."
In the case of the C200 BlueEFFICIENCY Sedan and Estate this is a reduction of $300 in the price and a $2300 reduction for the C250 BlueEFFICIENCY Sedan and Estate.
