A new driver focused, entry-level model from Mercedes-Benz will hit showrooms in June this year.

The CLC Sports Coupe carries on the success of 2001’s C-Class Sports Coupe and is powered by a choice of six engines developing between 122bhp and 272bhp.

Two diesel units are among the line-up - the 200 CDI with 122bhp and the 220 CDI with 150bhp.

The car comes with a six-speed manual gearbox or a five or seven-speed automatic depending on the model.

Stylistically based on the S-Class, CL-Class Coupe and the C-Class, the car has been set up for an involving drive while retaining comfort and practicality.
