Safety, comfort, agility: these are the outstanding attributes of the locally produced all new C-Class. The Saloon excels with a many-faceted product concept which meets the expectations of various customer target groups.

With the AVANTGARDE and ELEGANCE lines, Mercedes-Benz offers two individual models whose emphasis is on either comfort or agility. All model variants share the latest, state-of-the-art technology. This includes the newly developed AGILITY CONTROL package which can automatically adjust suspension setup when in different road conditions, the Intelligent Light System with five different lighting functions and the PRE-SAFE® preventive occupant protection system. Especially the four-cylinder engine, has up to 13 percent more output than the preceding model, accompanied by an up to 6 percent lower fuel consumption.

With a length of 4581 millimetres, the Saloon is 55 millimetres longer than its predecessor. The body width has increased by 42 mm to 1770 millimetres, and the wheelbase by 45 mm to 2760 millimetres. These dimensions create the conditions for a generously sized interior, and therefore more comfort.

The design of the all new C-Class is based on the modern Mercedes idiom, which reflects the technical superiority of automobiles bearing the star with taut lines and large, tranquil surfaces. The pronounced wedge-shape of the front end serves to emphasise attributes such as agility and performance. For the first time in a Mercedes saloon, the radiator grille is used as a distinguishing feature to position the model variants more clearly. A three-dimensional, louvred radiator grille with a high-gloss paint finish accentuates the ELEGANCE model's traditional attributes of comfort and luxury. In the AVANTGARDE model Mercedes-Benz employs three extended, horizontal louvres and a big centrally positioned Mercedes star to characterise the grille as a traditional design feature of sporty Mercedes models. Together with the sporty, high-quality appointments, this feature emphasises the youthful, agile appearance of this C-Class.

This "product-in-product" concept enables Mercedes customers to accentuate individual choices, and configure the all new C-Class to suit their personal taste and lifestyle even more emphatically than before. All the models offer the same, extraordinary driving experience that the Saloon provides by virtue of further technical improvements. Through its outstanding long-distance comfort and its dynamic handling, the locally produced all new C-Class sets new standards in this market segment.
