The customer has maximum configuration options between energising comfort and refined sportiness. The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon appeals to a heterogeneous customer group – its alluring exteriors and interiors as well as a fresh, youthful vibe yields a classy appeal to its customers.
When it comes to travelling in style, Mercedes-Benz is the first most reliable brand. Mercedes-Benz C-Class is here to stay particularly with its elegant features and specially assembled components. These features include; distinctive and powerful front end, use of high-quality materials, sleek exterior bodywork and an attractive colorful scheme, better performance and higher energy efficiency. Compared to its predecessors, the C-Class engine is with lower CO2 emissions.
The C-Class has an intelligent drive system. These intelligent systems actively support the driver and noticeably relieve the driver’s workload. They help to analyse and monitor the vehicles environment in order to warn and identify potential dangers. Other generous safety functions include the attention assist, adaptive brake control system and the blind spot assist to mention a few. All C-class models use the company’s tried and true 7-speed automatic transmission.
Fuel consumption is greatly minimised due to the Blue Efficiency function. This is responsible for shutting down the engine while the vehicle is stationary or in a red traffic light situation. Its powerful four cylinder engine also assures environmental compatibility and diligence as regards fuel consumption. The new C-class has more legroom (due to the longer wheel base) unlike the slightly cramped feelings of rear seat passengers in the past as well as bigger boot space (with a capacity of 480 litres). Other available features in the C-Class include; leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, Audio-20-CD with touch-pad, a Burmester audio system, Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system, navigation, a rear view camera, parallel parking assist, front and rear parking sensors, a head-up display, a Wi-Fi hot spot, pedestrian and cross traffic detection, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control, rear wheel drive, active lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring and a hands-free power trunk lid. All-wheel drive (4Matic) is available in both sedan and coupe models.
The new C-Class Saloon is the leading vehicle in the mid-size premium segment from Mercedes-Benz. The traditional high standard of quality as well as the various design options differentiates it from its competitors. Its strengths also include state-of-the-art safety equipment and innovative technologies, as well as the typical current Mercedes-Benz design.
In terms of design and technology, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class stands out. It is sporty enough to find buyers among brand and style conscious or upwardly mobile customers who want to park a brand new three pointed star that can carry five people comfortably in their driveways and it is available with up-to-the-minute aftersales service at all authorised Mercedes-Benz dealership network across the nation.
Following last year’s complete redesign, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class gives auto lovers even more reason to go with the three-pointed star for a small luxury sedan this year. Only three models were offered for 2015 — the four-cylinder C300, the V6-powered C400 and the V8-packing AMG C63 — but now a four-cylinder diesel and a plug-in gas-electric hybrid have joined the party.
The compact 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class bears an unmistakable resemblance to its full-size S-Class sibling.
Every 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes standard with antilock brakes, stability and traction control, front side airbags, front pelvic airbags (which deploy lower than the side airbags), a driver knee airbag, full-length side curtain airbags and a driver drowsiness monitor. Also standard are a pre-crash preparation system and the Collision Prevention Assist Plus system, which warns of an imminent collision and can autonomously apply partial braking force to mitigate it. A rearview camera is optional.
The cabin of the 2016 C-Class departs dramatically from the conservative aesthetic of its predecessor. Whether upholstered in standard MB-Tex synthetic leather or the optional genuine article, this is a cool, contemporary driving environment. Materials quality is generally very good, and there’s plenty of visual interest thanks to curvaceous trim panels that deftly blend wood, soft-touch surfaces and metallic accents. It’s certainly a breath of fresh air for those who found earlier C-Class interiors too staid.
The 2016 C-Class boasts of an eye-catching dashboard design with more visual flair than Mercedes fans are used to.
