The front-end design.

The front-end design of the C-Class already conveys a sense of prestige and dynamism at first sight. Precisely cut lines and the modern headlamps give the C-Class a particularly high-quality look, and with the aid of various lines, the design can be individualised even more strongly than prior to the facelift. Further enhancements showcase the new inside design of the headlamps and the standard-fit matt silver-painted louvres in the radiator trim to optimum effect.

The side design.

The side view of the C-Class Estate reveals the sporty style and generous amount of space. The dropping line and the counter line rising from the front wheel to the rear help to ensure exciting light and shadow effects. The narrow, downwards-tapering D-pillars give the Estate a particularly sporty touch.

The rear-end design.

A modern, clearly designed rear end with an impression of great width completes the shape of the car at the rear. The athletic shoulders above the wings lend the rear end additional dynamism and contribute to its impressive character. The darkened tail lights round off the consistent rear-end design of the C-Class Estate.

Interior.

The interior design of the C-Class features high-quality materials and the excellent integration of functional elements. A generously curved line, which descends from the bottom edge of the windscreen towards the rear door panels, transfers the dropping line which characterises the exterior into the interior.

Cockpit and steering wheel.

With the facelift, the C-Class is getting the new steering wheel generation in a 3-spoke design with Touch Control buttons. These can be used to operate the instrument cluster and the media system even more intuitively by means of horizontal and vertical swiping movements of the finger.

Doors.

The door panelling is of very high quality and features a modern design. Depending on appointments the door trim varies, with materials ranging from fabric to ARTICO man-made leather with topstitching in outstanding handmade quality.

Centre console.

The centre console of the C-Class is not only stylish, but also assists the driver with user-friendly controls while minimising distraction from the traffic situation. It also serves as a practical stowage compartment and with its various surface finish options makes a significant contribution to the desired ambience in the interior – emphatically sporty with carbon-fibre inserts or particularly high-quality with open-pore woods.

Control and display concept.

Whether using the touchpad with Controller, Touch Control buttons on the steering wheel or voice entry: the operating system is just as versatile as it is flexible. All of the options are aimed at enabling the control tasks to be executed as conveniently, quickly and appropriately to the situation as possible. As such, the control and display concept also contributes to road safety, as the driver can select the variant which for them is the least distracting.

Interior lighting.

For functional and pleasant interior lighting, partial LED technology is already used as standard. Optional extras in the guise of the Interior Light package and ambient lighting extend the lighting functions and the use of LED technology, and are a significant enhancement on top of the already comprehensive standard equipment.

Load compartment.

The load compartment in the C-Class Estate offers a capacity of up to 490 litres, along with easy loading and unloading. Several optional extras are available to enhance the car’s flexibility for carrying both small and larger items, either day to day or on holiday.

Body.

The body of the C-Class Estate is made of aluminium and steel for the most part. It combines maximum stability with exemplary lightweight design. Small gap dimensions mean the high level of the quality is discernible at first glance. Specifically positioned deformation zones and the crash-safe passenger cell protect the occupants to optimum effect in the event of an accident, while the frame construction of the bonnet optimises pedestrian protection. The occupants are able to experience the quality of the body on every trip with a superior driving experience, light handling and high noise comfort.

Suspension.

As another alternative between the standard steel suspension and the optionally available AIR BODY CONTROL air suspension, the facelift also offers DYNAMIC BODY CONTROL. Thanks to adaptive damping adjustment, the driver can adjust the harshness of the suspension to suit current requirements at the press of a button, and switch the damping characteristics via the drive programmes in the “Comfort”, “Sport” or “Sport Plus” modes.

Environment.

Pioneering drive concepts, lightweight construction, sophisticated aerodynamics, energy-efficient components – in the C-Class, a wide variety of measures helps to ensure that fuel consumption and emissions are effectively reduced. With the facelift we are introducing further improvements and making the C-Class even more attractive.

Aerodynamics.

The C-Class Estate faces the wind head on in an efficient and drag-reducing manner. Because wind resistance already exceeds the sum of all other driving resistances above 70 km/h, its reduction contributes directly to fuel savings. The other goals of the development work in the wind tunnel included the systematic reduction of wind noise plus the anti-soiling measures of the windows and exterior mirrors in rain or snow.

MULTIBEAM LED headlamps.

For your perfect vision: the adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlamps with individually controllable LEDs react to the traffic situation. Partial main beam omits other road users without dazzling them. ULTRA RANGE Highbeam increases the range to the permitted maximum. The cornering light and active light functions also illuminate the field of vision to optimum effect.

Lane Tracking package.

The Lane Tracking package protects you against the consequences of unintentionally leaving your lane. The combination of Active Lane Keeping Assist and Blind Spot Assist with exit warning function detects potential risks at an early stage, provides a visual and audible warning and can also assist you with returning into your original lane through one-sided brake actuation.

Active Brake Assist.

Active Brake Assist supports the driver with distance and rear-end collision warning in relation to moving and/or stationary vehicles and crossing pedestrians and in specific situations can even carry out autonomous emergency braking, acceleration skid control reduces wheel spinning on slippery ground or road surfaces with different levels of grip, thus increasing traction and handling safety.

Mercedes‑Benz emergency call system.

The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system can be deployed automatically or manually. Automatic activation takes place the instant at least one of the airbags or seat belt tensioners in the vehicle is deployed. The service centre then contacted by the vehicle establishes voice contact with the vehicle. If nobody responds, it alerts the nearest rescue service immediately.
