New Mercedes-Benz C-Class
The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is here and it is full of safety, luxury and comfortability. Three individual models are available, including the Avantgarde, Elegance and Classic. There is one for every kind of driver.
The latest technology used in all of these models include Intelligent Light System, Agility Control package with situation-responsive shock absorber control; and the preventive occupant protection system.
There is a choice of four and six-cylinder engines with up to 13% more output than the preceding model, and up to 6% lower fuel consumption. The body is 42mm wider than the previous model and the wheelbase width has increased by 45mm to 2 760mm. The front shoulder room has increased by 40mm, adding to the comfort and luxury one could expect from a Mercedes.
The Avantgarde model is distinguished by three extended, horizontal louvers and a big Mercedes-Benz star. This C-Class is categorised as a sporty model and looks young, vibrant and agile.
The Elegance model has a three-dimensional louvred radiator grille and high-gloss paint finish to add to the characteristics of comfortability and luxury.
The Classic model in the new C-Class is more traditional, and proudly so. It offers the same technical innovations as the other two model variants. Mercedes-Benz customers can now – more than ever – configure the C-Class to suit their personal style.
The Agility control improves both comfort and agility equally. It controls the shock absorber forces according to a driving situation. The Agility control steering has a ratio of 14.5 and thus 6% more direct than that of the preceding model. The Advanced Agility package with a sporty driving mode is another great feature of Mercedes, which will become optionally available later this year. This package offers the driver a choice of two gearshift programmes – Sport and Comfort.
In the petrol range, the output of the entry-level C180 Kompressor has increased from the previous 105 kW to 115 kW. The C 200 Kompressor develops 135 kW, compared to the previous 150 kW.
The interior of all models are somewhat related to what you’d find in a roadster or coupe. It has clearly laid-out dial instruments and silver-coloured bezels, black dial faces and glowing orange needles.
The cockpit is luxurious and elegant, which goes very well with the stunning looks of the body.
