 | For the first time ever, both the locally-built E-Class and all-new locally-built C-Class have appeared together at an auto show, generating a buzz among Chinese customers. The E-Class, equipped with approximately 2000 new or enhanced parts, boasts a new exterior design with added dynamism, poise and assurance. As a technology trendsetter, the E-Class once again sets the benchmark in the top level luxury car segment.
Since the all-new C-Class came to China last November, Chinese customers have appreciated its unique features and attractive styling found in both variants. Now, having made the smooth transition from import to local production, the all-new locally-built C-Class has taken the stage at the Beijing Auto Show, enjoying exactly the same quality and features that one expects from all Mercedes-Benz cars. Like the locally-built E-Class, the C-Class further symbolizes Mercedes-Benz's close commitment to developing the China market, and judging by the crowds of curious onlookers, it has clearly made a lasting impression on Chinese fans.
The new locally-built C-Class provides users with models that embody two different exterior design concepts. The C-Class AVANTGARDE, with energetic dynamics as its theme, reveals an advanced concept that highlights its inherent dynamism individualism; the C-Class ELEGANCE, on the other hand, carries on the classic and traditional design style of Mercedes-Benz. This is the first time that locally-built luxury cars have adopted two different designs and equipment lines in the same class. The two design styles correspond with each other and bring out the best in each other so as to meet the needs of a larger and more diverse customer group.
In addition to the perceptive design concept, the locally-built C-Class is equipped with many innovative technical features. The locally-built C 200K and C 280 come with the AGILITY CONTROL package and new-generation PRE-SAFE® as standard specifications. The locally-built C 280 also features the unique 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission and Intelligent Light System. It's obvious that the new locally-built C-Class strives for perfection in every aspect, including safety, handling stability, power, comfort and superior quality. Its comprehensive strength is second to none.
