The 2016 Mercedes C Class Coupe has made its world debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. When launched, it will rival 2-door luxury coupes like the BMW 4 Series and Lexus RC in its segment.

The exterior of the new C Class Coupe looks identical to the regular C Class sedan, and sports a sloping roofline that flows in to the rear end, which looks sleeker than the S Class Coupe. Up front, it gets the diamond radiator grille and a long bonnet. The sides features frameless doors and a striking beltline, while the posterior comes with wraparound LED tail lamps, boot lid spoiler and dual exhausts.

The interior is identical to the C-Class sedan, and gets the free-standing COMAND infotainment system with touchpad controller, three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, twin-pod instrument cluster, center console finished in gloss black and sport seats wrapped in Artico leather upholstery.

The regular C Class Coupe is available in four variants: Mercedes C180 Coupe packing a 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with 115 kW/156 hp, and a 2.0-liter four cylinder engines under the hoods of Mercedes C200 Coupe (135 kW/184 hp), Mercedes C250 Coupe (155 kW/211 hp) models and Mercedes C300 Coupe with 180 kW/245 hp. Also available are diesel engines available in two tunes: 25 kW (170 hp) or 150 kW (204 hp).
