Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse 205 C 63 S AMG T-Modell SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G - Terrain

Can the Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse 205 C 63 S AMG T-Modell SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G also be used off-road? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real rough terrain it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road capable but have limited capability to do so.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, in this vehicle is 92 mm. This is definitely too low for off-road use.

The integrated air suspension allows the chassis to be raised under certain circumstances, thus increasing ground clearance.

Rating: The car does have all-wheel drive, but not least the lack of ground clearance indicates that a Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse is not made for off-road use.
