And with the C-Class, it feels better than ever. From ­interior to engines, this is a car designed to respond ­rapidly and precisely – both to its surroundings and to you. Its wide range of engines offers increased outputs, and the standard-fit Agility Control Suspension with Adaptive Damping System further enhances the car’s responsiveness. Another technological highlight is the Dynamic Handling Package with sport mode, an option which gives drivers more dynamic handling at the touch of a button. Inside, there’s more space for you and your passengers and, in the Estate version, more space for luggage too, thanks to the large and versatile load compartment. And because a Mercedes means quality and not just quantity, there’s also the elegant cabin design with a refined ambience and superior materials. What’s more, the C-Class lets you decide just how sporty or luxurious its cabin should be, and even what kind of face it should have, making it easier than ever to create the ideal C-Class for you. A unique personality The C-Class Sport The C-Class is as striking on the outside as it is on the inside: distinct design lines, ample cabin space and high-quality materials. It not only boasts a wide range of exterior colours and interior trim, the C-Class offers a choice of personalities, too. The Sport line, for instance, highlights the dynamic nature of the C-Class. The prominent three-pointed star in its grille creates a powerful first impression, the standard AMG bodystyling and 17" AMG 6-twin-spoke alloy wheels make for a muscular look all round, and the drive more than lives up to the exterior’s promise. And distinctive characters The C-Class Elegance, SE and Executive SE The Elegance line brings out the luxurious side of the C-Class. Its three-pointed star sits proudly on the bonnet and its extensive chrome exterior trim adds an extra touch of class. The cabin is carefully colour-coordinated and exudes a warm, inviting ambience. The SE line, too, boasts a bonnet-mounted three-pointed star. It’s also generously equipped and offers everything you’d expect of a Mercedes-Benz – such as high-quality materials, a beautifully appointed cabin and a handsome exterior, set off by attractive alloy wheels. With the new C-Class Executive SE, you can travel in style every single day. Its refined lines are beautifully set off by striking new alloy wheels, while the grille-mounted threepointed star makes for an equally eye‑catching front end. What’s more, this special edition is as attractive inside as out, thanks to a generously equipped cabin featuring the COMAND multimedia system as standard. The C-Class 10 Driving Enjoy the drive of a lifetime.

It lets you decide what kind of a drive you want – by switching from comfort-orientated to sporty at the touch of a button. 12 Driving | BlueEFFICIENCY BlueEFFICIENCY– technology for more efficient driving As the inventor of the motor car, we feel we have a ­special responsibility for improving its resource e­ fficiency – without compromising on safety, comfort and driving pleasure. Our comprehensive BlueEFFICIENCY measures have already brought significant cuts in fuel consumption to many current Mercedes‑Benz models, helping to lower both their CO2 ­emissions and their running costs. What’s more, we are continuing to develop new environ­ mentally friendly technologies that will reduce emissions even further and help to make ­motoring more sustainable in the long term. BlueEFFICIENCY – the Mercedes-Benz efficiency drive. In addition to highly advanced and efficient engines, BlueEFFICIENCY models come with a range of energy-saving measures that enable fuel consumption and CO2 ­emissions to be reduced by up to 23%. These measures vary from model to model but can include ECO start/stop, on‑demand ancillary c­ omponents and low‑resistance tyres, as well as aero­dynamic optimisation and the use of lightweight materials. BlueTEC – cleaner diesel power. BlueTEC is our cleanest diesel technology to date. Its combination of advanced common-rail direct injection, optimised combustion and modular emissions control systems reduces particulate levels by up to 95% and removes up to 90% of nitrogen oxides, leaving little but water, harmless nitrogen and the satisfaction of knowing you’ve done your bit for the environment. BlueTEC models will be intro­duced to the S-Class and E-Class Saloon ranges in 2010. Please ask your local Retailer for more details. HYBRID and BlueTEC HYBRID – the future of internal combustion. The next stage in our efficiency drive, hybrid drivetrains will bring new levels of fuel efficiency and emissions reduction to tomorrow’s Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. The petrol/electric HYBRID system allies an economical internal combustion engine to an electric motor that not only assists the engine when accelerating but also recovers kinetic energy during braking. In addition, the system automatically shuts off the engine as the car slows to a standstill, helping to reduce fuel BlueTEC filters out up to 95% of particulates and converts up to 90% of nitrogen oxides into harmless nitrogen Driving | BlueEFFICIENCY c­ onsumption even further. The diesel equivalent, BlueTEC HYBRID, combines the benefits of hybrid drive with the clean-burn technology of BlueTEC. It achieves outstanding fuel economy while keeping harmful emissions to a minimum. BlueZERO – the drivetrains of tomorrow. The BlueZERO concept showcases three highly developed electric vehicle variants. The E‑CELL is an all-electric system driven solely by the battery, E-CELL PLUS pairs battery power with a range-extending internal combustion engine, The HYBRID system lowers fuel consumption by up to 20% while the F-CELL features a hydrogen-based fuel-cell stack. Design for Environment. Our environmental philosophy is not just about in-car ­technologies. It also involves taking the entire lifecycle of each vehicle into account, from its initial ­planning to its end-of-life recycling. We apply the same approach to the building and ­main­tenance of new factories too, saving energy, avoiding harmful emissions and making increasing use of renewable resources. In addition, Mercedes‑Benz is involved in the development of alternative fuels and conducts research in the field of bionics.

The top performer is the C 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. This 6-cylinder produces 231 hp (170 kW) and ­accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.4 seconds (or 6.5 ­seconds in Estate guise). The 4-cylinder engines have benefited from a range of technical refinements, including larger oil jets to improve piston cooling and the introduction of ceramic glow plugs, which reach higher temperatures than their metal counterparts and hence improve cold starting. Without compromising on power, the twin turbocharger C 220 CDI ­BlueEFFICIENCY SE manual delivers 170 hp (125 kW), while ­attaining 58.9 mpg in the combined cycle, and just 127 ­g /km of CO2 emissions. Similarly, the new C 250 CDI ­BlueEFFICIENCY SE manual has an output of 204 hp (150 kW) and manages 55.4 mpg combined and 134 g/km. Both B ­ lueEFFICIENCY engines achieve the stringent EU5 emissions standard. Our C 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY manual has an output of 136 hp (100 kW) and 56.5 mpg in the combined cycle. BlueEFFICIENCY models, engineered to reduce fuel consumption and for lower CO2 emissions 16 Driving | Petrol engines Discover a different kind of performance reward The 4-cylinder petrol engines Opt for one of the three petrol-engined C-Class models and excellent performance is assured. The 4-cylinder ­models get the range off to an impressive start, with a choice between the supercharged C 180 KOMPRESSOR ­ BlueEFFICIENCY manual, exclusively available on the Executive SE, or the turbocharged C 180 CGI ­BlueEFFICIENCY manual with ECO start/stop, both ­ offering 156 hp (115 kW). For power and torque increases, thanks to effective engine management software and pistons, choose the turbocharged C 250 CGI B ­ lueEFFICIENCY which ­delivers (150 204 hp kW) and 310 Nm. On the road that translates to improved performance, with 0–62 mph now taking 7.4 seconds (7.5 seconds in the Estate) and top speeds of 149 mph (145 mph in the Estate). 18 Watch the scenery fly quietly by The V6 petrol engine A V6-engined C-Class is a truly civilised way to travel fast. The C 350 offers a perfect blend of refinement and power. It combines outstanding performance with superb comfort, producing some 272 hp (200 kW) and accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.4 seconds (6.5 seconds in Estate form). Providing a responsive drive even at low speeds, the C 350 delivers a maximum torque of 350 Nm across a wide rev range. Fuel consumption is similarly civilised. The four continuously variable camshafts ensure exactly the right amount of fuel is used in any given situation, resulting in more efficient combustion. From the outside, a twin exhaust system with single tailpipes each side sets the V6 model apart and ­emphasises its discreet muscularity. C 350 240 400 350 Nm 350 200 kW 200 300 160 250 120 200 80 150 40 100 0 2,000 Engine speed (rpm) Torque (Nm) 4,000 6,000 Power (kW) 0 C 350: The most powerful V6 engine of the C-Class range boasts 272 hp (200 kW) and peak torque of 350 Nm Driving | Transmissions When it comes to innovation, we always seem to find an extra gear The C-Class transmissions All 4-cylinder C-Class models come with 6-speed manual transmission as standard and offer 5-speed automatic transmission as an option (except for the C 250 CGI ­BlueEFFICIENCY, which has 5-speed automatic trans­ mission as standard). With its short, precise throws, this slick manual transmission ensures gear changes are always a pleasure. In addition, manual models feature a Hill Start Assist function that helps you to pull away smoothly on steep inclines by applying the brakes for a split second, ­allowing you to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal without using the ­parking brake. The C 350, C 350 CDI ­BlueEFFICIENCY and C 63 AMG have 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic transmission as standard. 7G-Tronic’s extra forward gears enable it to maintain optimum revs at all times and deliver almost impercep­tible shifts. It can also change down more than one gear at a time when a more urgent response is required. Manual or automatic? How about both? Enjoy manual shifts on automatic models by just nudging the gear shift lever to the left or right 19 20 Driving | Suspension Sporty or soothing? Tailor the driving experience to your mood The Dynamic Handling Package One of the key innovations in the C-Class is the Dynamic Handling Package with sport mode that’s avail­able as an option for the Sport line. This electronically controlled ­system continually adjusts damping levels to the road ­surface and driving situation, increasing ride comfort, safety and, above all, agility. The features of the Dynamic Handling Package are fully automatic, but they can also be influenced manually via sport mode. It enables you to switch to firmer damper settings and a more direct throttle response at the push of a button. And when you’re no longer in the mood, just change to comfort mode and you’ll enjoy a smooth and effortlessly relaxing ride. Sport mode: the Dynamic Handling Package’s sport mode lets you change the driving experi­ence to suit your mood, switching to a more dynamic set-up at the touch of a button and, if your C-Class is fitted with automatic trans­mission, ­giving you even quicker gear shift changes 24 Comfort | Interior Why long journeys may suddenly seem too short The spacious and supremely comfortable C-Class cabin With its high-quality materials, fine trim and increased space, the C-Class interior is an invitation that’s ­impossible to resist. The driver sits slightly higher and enjoys significant shoulder and elbow room. Rear seat ­passengers, too, will feel quite at home, thanks to improved leg room in the rear. The cabin is full of attractive details such as chrome ­highlights and High-Gloss Black, Eucalyptus wood or aluminium trim, depending on the model you choose. And there are a host of options that enhance the cabin ­ambience even further – such as the panoramic sunroof. With glass all the way from front to rear windscreen, it creates a truly special atmosphere inside. It also keeps the cabin almost completely draught-free when open, thanks to its wind deflector design. Sitting comfortably: The seats look inviting and they don’t disappoint, offering excellent levels of comfort and support 26 Comfort | Cockpit How to maximise control? Let others take the strain Stress-relieving comfort in the C-Class Freedom from stress and strain enhances not only your comfort, but your concentration too. Which in turn makes for safer driving. One of the key factors in stress-free driving is the ergonomics of your car’s instruments and controls. In the C-Class, they are clearer and easier to use than ever. The higher-set fascia has a horizontal layout and the three circular instruments give you all the key information at a glance. In addition, the buttons on the multi-function steering wheel allow you to control various functions without taking your hands off the wheel. There’s no need to constantly adjust your temperature ­settings in the C-Class either. Its two-zone automatic ­climate control system maintains your ideal cabin temperature at all times. The optional three-zone luxury auto­matic climate control even allows the temperature in the rear to be controlled separately. At your fingertips: The C-Class controls are entirely intuitive. From in-car audio to temperature settings, the key functions can be operated at the push of a button Comfort | Seat comfort Your new favourite chair The exceptionally comfortable C-Class seats The ergonomic front seats of the Elegance and SE models (and the figure-hugging sports seats of the C-Class Sport) all ­feature electric height and backrest angle adjustment as standard, plus adjustable lumbar supports. With the optional Memory Package, the driver and front passenger seat settings can even be stored and recalled automatically – along with the position of your steering wheel, front head restraints and exterior mirrors. Other options include heated front seats, leather ­upholstery and multi-contour seats with adaptive air cushions that provide additional support. 27 28 Comfort | COMAND A navigation system that’s a real turn for the better The COMAND multimedia navigation system The optional COMAND multimedia system¹ combines the controls and displays for the in-car audio, telephone and navigation systems. Despite boasting a wide range of functions, the COMAND system is as intelligent and user-friendly as ever, thanks to a streamlined set of controls. In addition, its electrically folding 7-inch screen features high resolution graphics and colours and is at the same height as the instrument panel, making it ideally ­positioned for the driver’s field of vision. The COMAND system can be operated either via the ­control panel in the middle of the centre console or via the controller situated in front of the armrest. All key f­ unctions can also be operated via the integrated ­Linguatronic voice control system: the system can ­under­stand all road and place names via whole-word recognition, previously stored telephone numbers can be dialled by simply stating the name of the person you wish to call and, if the telephone pre-wiring option is ­ tted, you can even have your text messages read out to fi you. There’s also a CD/DVD changer with MP3 playback; space for up to 6 GB of music on the s­ ystem’s hard drive; a Media Interface for connection and operation of iPod and USB media; and a Bluetooth facility for safe hands-free mobile calls is included on all C-Class audio systems. ¹COMAND is standard on Executive SE but without the 6-disc changer and Media Interface The controller: the armrest is designed in such a way that your hand lies ­naturally on the COMAND controller, via which the system’s many functions can be operated quickly, easily and intuitively 30 Comfort | Ride comfort Takes the rough with the smooth – so that you don’t have to Agility Control Suspension with Adaptive Damping System Mercedes-Benz has always been renowned for its ride comfort. And with the C-Class, our suspension ­engineers have surpassed themselves once more. Its Adaptive ­Damping System, which comes as part of the standard Agility Control Suspension, automatically adjusts the damper settings at each wheel. It provides a firmer or softer ride depending on the situation or surface, and smoothes imperfections more effectively than ­conventional steel suspension. The low noise levels inside the cabin further enhance your sense of well-being. By fine-tuning, insulating and sealing countless bodywork details, we’ve succeeded in ensuring wind noise is kept at bay more effectively than ever. The Adaptive Damping System: in normal driving, the system uses softer damper settings to ensure a highly comfortable ride; in sportier driving, it switches to firmer settings for optimum stability 32 Comfort | Load compartment Space to accommodate all your needs The C-Class Estateʼs intelligently designed load compartment Every day brings a new set of challenges – be it at work, at home or elsewhere. With the C-Class Estate, you’re equipped for whatever comes your way. The load compartment is designed to cope with all kinds of cargo, offering a class-leading luggage space from 910 to 1,500 litres – 485 litres with the seats in place – and a range of ­prac­tical features such as side luggage nets and the optional Easy-Pack load-securing kit. Other clever touches include an Easy-Pack tailgate, which comes as standard. It opens and closes automatically at the touch of a button. The C-Class Estate handles heavier cargo with equal aplomb – thanks to a payload capacity of 530 kg,¹ a self‑levelling suspension option and a towing capacity up to 1,800 kg. The trailer stabilisation function incorp­ orated into the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) is a further plus when towing, while the optional tow bar itself ­features a pivot mechanism that allows it to be tucked away when not in use. ¹Measured according to DIN standard Safety | The integral safety concept 35 36 Safety | The integral safety concept Intelligent thinking can be a life-saver The integral safety concept from Mercedes-Benz Few things are more important to us than the pursuit of new safety technologies. We’ve been developing ­innovative safety concepts since as far back as the 1950s, when legendary Mercedes-Benz engineer Béla Barényi invented the very first safety cell. At the same time, Barényi’s ­colleagues were coming up with ground-breaking ideas of their own. One of them, Rolf Maier, devised a simple way of testing the behaviour of the steering and restraint systems during a crash. He and his fellow engineers designed a special sled to be driven against a wall at high speed. For impact ­absorption purposes, they hit upon another ingenious solution: ­gherkin tins from the factory canteen. It’s a classic example of the creativity that shaped those pioneering years. As much as we enjoy looking back, we never stop l­ooking forward – and nothing illustrates this better than our vision of accident-free driving. With our ­integral safety concept, we are now closer to realising this vision than ever before. It’s a concept that divides safety into three distinct phases. The first phase is helping the driver to recognise and deal with critical situations that arise ­during the journey. The second phase is ­immediately prior to a potential accident, when the car can take various preventative measures to help reduce the risk of injury. Then, during an accident itself, passive safety measures can ensure effective protection of the individual occupants. And there’s another vital point: following an accident, a Mercedes is designed to make passenger rescue as easy as possible. Safety | The integral safety concept 37 There’s only one thing better than an alert driver. An alert Mercedes driver Built for safety right from the start The beginnings of an accident often come long before any impact. Inattentiveness, impaired visibility or un­foreseen danger are the root causes of many a crash. That’s why the C-Class helps you concentrate fully on the road – and cope with any critical situations you encounter along the way. With Bluetooth hands-free ­capability, a multi-function steering wheel as standard and Linguatronic voice control included with the optional Audio 50 or COMAND multimedia system, it even lets you operate a range of features and functions without ­taking your hands off the wheel. In addition, the C-Class is lavishly equipped with elec­ tronic aids that assist you ­during the journey and alert you to potential dangers. These include the tyre pressure loss warning system, the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Brake Assist (BAS) and, a first for the C-Class, ESP trailer stabilisation. The ESP and BAS s­ ensors can detect critical situations– such as heavy oversteer or under­steer, sharp steering movements, panic braking or emergency stops – and provide just the assistance the situation requires. You can also equip your C-Class with the optional ­Intelligent Light System. It automatically adapts the dipped-beam lights in its bi-xenon headlamps to the given driving situation, illuminating a wider area when ­driving on country roads and improving long-range ­visibility on motorways. The system also includes enhanced fog lamps that significantly improve illumi­ nation of the nearside of the road, as well as the c­ ornering light function and Active Light System, which enables the ­headlamps to ­follow your steering inputs for better visibility in bends. 38 Safety | Pre-Safe In critical situations, every second is precious The Pre-Safe anticipatory safety system Until 2002, the final seconds before an impact had gone largely unused. Then Mercedes-Benz introduced the Pre‑Safe system. Now fitted to the C-Class as ­standard, the Pre-Safe system makes the most of that time, initia­ ting a range of m ­ easures that enhance occupant protection should the collision prove unavoidable. The Pre-Safe system: if a potential accident is imminent, the Pre-Safe ­system can trigger the seat belt pre-tensioners, close the side windows and electric sunroof (if fitted) and move the front passenger seat to a more ­favourable position (if fitted with Memory Package) Safety | Pre-Safe system The Pre-Safe system works with the ESP and BAS ­sensors to ­recog­nise and react to danger. If the sensors detect a potentially critical driving situation, Pre-Safe assesses the information and, if necessary, implements anticipatory measures to help protect the occupants. These include automatically activating the seat belt ­tensioners, moving the front passenger seat to a more favourable ­position (if fitted with Memory Package) and closing the side windows and electric sunroof (if fitted). The C-Class also comes with adaptive brake lights as standard. If the driver applies the brakes suddenly and forcefully, they automatically start flashing, providing a clearer warning to those behind. 39 40 Safety | Safe driving However hard the knock, your C-Class will cushion the blow Effective protection via restraint systems and safety cell The many occupant protection systems on board the C‑Class help to significantly reduce the risk of injury in accidents. Even the head restraints feature i­ntelligent safety technology. If the sensors detect a rear-end ­collis­ion, the Neck-Pro front head restraints move upwards and forwards within milliseconds, helping to support the head sooner and lessen the likelihood of whiplash injuries. Seat belt pre-tensioners for the front and outside rear seats are also fitted as standard, as is a comprehensive ­airbag system, including a driver kneebag, dual-stage ­airbags for driver and front passenger, and window­bags that cover practically the entire window area on each side. A wide range of sensors ensures the airbags work as effect­ively as possible. The occupant classification system allows the front passenger restraint systems to be deployed according to his or her needs, while the sidebags and window­bags benefit from air pressure sensors in the side doors. In a side-on collision, these sensors can detect pressure changes caused by deform­ation and the airbag control unit can then inflate the sidebags and windowbags as required. With such extensive occupant protection, itʼs no wonder that the C-Class received a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. The C-Class helps to look after other road users too. The bodywork’s smooth surfaces and deformation character­istics are designed to minimise pedestrian injury in the event of an impact. Safety | After an accident Even when stranded, the C-Class still comes to your aid Greater post-crash safety and easier rescue After an accident, the C-Class can take a variety of ­measures designed to reduce the knock-on effects of a ­collision and facilitate the work of the emergency ­services. Depending on the type and severity of the impact, these can include automatically switching off the engine and cutting off the fuel supply, turning on the ­hazard warning lights and emergency cabin lighting, lowering the side windows slightly if necessary, and ­automatically unlocking the central locking. A special rescue guide developed by Mercedes-Benz for emergency services around the world completes our comprehensive safety concept. 41 AMG 43 Passion and precision – the essence of AMG Mercedes-AMG: racing technology for the road “One man, one engine” – that’s the golden rule at AMG’s Affalterbach plant. From fitting the crankshaft to adding the oil, the entire engine assembly is in the hands of one highly skilled professional. It’s a highly personal approach and one that ensures all AMG engines meet the very ­highest standards of quality and reliability. And just so you know who to thank, each one bears a metal plaque with its creator’s signature. This kind of dedication and attention to detail has been a hallmark of AMG for over four decades, ever since founders Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher began building racing Mercedes – and a­ pplying their expertise to roadgoing models. Today, over 40 years on, AMG c­ ontinues to bring racing ­technology to the road – with cars such as the breathtaking C 63 AMG. 44 AMG The sportiest C-Class of all time The C 63 AMG 6.2 litres, 457 hp (336 kW), 600 Nm, 0 to 62 mph in 4.5 (Saloon) or 4.6 seconds (Estate) – the C 63 AMG turns in a truly remarkable set of figures. And yet it’s even more ­impressive on the road. That’s because its drivetrain, ­chassis and braking systems all work together to give you maximum driving pleasure. The AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic transmission ­transfers power smoothly and effectively to the wheels, while also enhancing driving enjoyment thanks to rapid downshifts and a stability-enhancing throttle-blip ­function. The speed-sensitive AMG sports steering, ­combined with AMG sports suspension featuring a wider front track, helps you exploit the naturally aspirated AMG V8 to the full. And the AMG high-performance braking system and three-stage Electronic Stability ­ rogramme ESP ensure that power is always kept P firmly under control. Perhaps most impressively of all, the C 63 AMG combines this exhilarating speed and agility with exceptional comfort, safety and practicality – making it a high-performance sports car you can enjoy every single day. 46 AMG You’ve never seen a C-Class like it One look at the C 63 AMG and you’ll know this is no ordinary C-Class. The ridged bonnet and special AMG radiator grille with central three-pointed star and twin chromed louvres make for an unmistakable front end, while flared front wings and fog lamps situated at the far sides of the front apron further underline the broad and muscular look. There are also purposeful-looking side vents on the apron’s outer edges – they draw heat away from the additional oil cooler – and the dark-tinted lenses of the bi‑xenon headlamps. The side view is dominated by the 18" AMG alloy wheels in Titanium Silver with high-sheen finish, and also features AMG side skirts plus stylish ‘6.3 AMG’ bad­ges on the wings. The rear is equally striking, thanks to its AMG apron, black diffuser, LED tail lights, four chromed tailpipes and an AMG spoiler that helps to reduce lift. For an even more exclusive look, the AMG Performance Studio offers options such as an AMG Performance ­Package Plus, 19" multi-spoke AMG alloy wheels in ­Titanium Grey and AMG carbon-fibre trim. 48 AMG Unmistakable even from the inside Even the cabin of the C 63 AMG is instantly recog­nisable – thanks in particular to the AMG sports seats with integral head restraints and adaptive backrests. Together with the flat-bottomed three-spoke AMG sports steering wheel with race-style gear shift paddles and the AMG instrument cluster, they lend the cockpit a truly sporty look and feel. The seats are upholstered in nappa leather, which comes in Black, Alpaca Grey or Sahara Beige, with matching nappa leather for the door centre panels and door armrests. Standard AMG door sills, aluminium trim and a black roof lining complete the eye-catching AMG treatment. My C-Class Four flavours of C-Class SE, Executive SE, Elegance and Sport With its many intelligent technologies, the C-Class adapts to your individual needs. What’s more, it caters for your individual tastes too, offering a wide range of options and a choice of three different lines. Each has its own distinct character and style. SE, Executive SE, Elegance or Sport: which is the C-Class for you? 52 Lines | SE The C-Class Saloon SE The front of the C-Class Saloon SE bears the traditional hallmarks of a Mercedes-Benz: a chromed grille with ­laurel wreath badge and a three-pointed star that sits proudly on the bonnet.

Let your gaze linger on the bonnet-mounted three-pointed star and prominent grille. Take in the chrome-trimmed fog lamp surrounds and bumpers. Then follow the chrome trim around the sides and to the rear, where the boot lid handle is also finished in chrome. The aluminium shoulder line trim and 16" 12-spoke alloy wheels beautifully complement the chrome detailing.

The wide grille with its large three‑pointed star and chrome-edged louvres ensures Sport models are instantly recognisable, while the ­standard AMG body­styling and 17" AMG 6-twin-spoke alloy wheels make for a truly muscular stance. What’s more, Sport models not only look more dynamic, they feel it too, thanks to sports suspension that’s 15 mm lower than on other models, speed-sensitive para­meter steering with a more direct steering ratio, and a sports braking system with larger, cross-drilled brake discs front and rear. The brake calipers feature ‘Mercedes-Benz’ ­lettering and there’s also a sports exhaust system on petrol models.

There’s also a nappa leather-trimmed 3-spoke sports ­steering wheel – with steering wheel gear shift paddles on ­auto­matic ­transmission models. The instrument cluster looks very similar to that of the C 63 AMG with its 3D tube dials – a look borrowed from the world of motor sport.

Which is why the C-Class is protected by one of the most advanced ­clearcoats on the market. Developed by Mercedes-Benz, it has a denser molecular structure than conventional ­clearcoats, making it more resistant to scratches, ­chemicals and mechanical stresses – such as those exerted by automatic car washes – and less sensitive to sunlight, rain and other environmental f­ actors. As a result, this special coating helps your C-Class to retain both its handsome looks and its long-term value, while also l­ending a deeper and longer-lasting shine. It means whichever finish you choose, you can be sure your C-Class will stay beautiful for many years to come. 92 Colours and materials | Paint finishes There’s more to the C-Class paintwork than meets the eye. Because beneath that lustrous finish lies a comprehensive anti-corrosion system. Thanks to technologies such as zinc phosphate treatment and electro­coating, the longevity of your car’s bodywork is guaranteed. In addition, coatings are mostly water-based in order to reduce environmental impact.

In fact, it takes some three weeks just to make a piece of our wood trim. First, special computer-controlled tools slice veneers from the wood, then those closest in colour and grain are selected for the actual trim piece. These thin layers of wood are ­interspersed with layers of ­ alu­minium and clay to ensure ­stability and ­durability and affixed to a thin base sheet. The finished veneer can comprise up to a hundred of these individual ­layers. Take a closer look at the C-Class and you’ll see just how much attention goes into every detail.
