Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class 2009 is a renamed version and full restyled of the previous generation C-Class Coupe. However, both cars share the same basic platform.

Featuring over 1,100 new or updated parts over its predecessor, including a direct steering system for improved handling and a new entertainment and information system, the Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class is available with six different engine choices, four petrol and two diesel.

The entry-level CLC180 Kompressor (143 bhp) and CLC200 Kompressor (184 bhp) are driven by four-cylinder engines. While the higher-spec CLC230 manages 204 horsepower from a 2.4-litre V6, and the flagship CLC350 version offers 268 horsepower from a 3.5 litre V6. The CLC350 is capable of hitting 60 mph in 6.3 seconds.

The two diesel models are the CLC200 CDI (122 bhp) and CLC220 CDI (150 bhp).
