At launch, the exceptionally popular C-Class will be presented in three different models, the C180 AVANTGARDE Plus, C180 Sport and C200 Sport. Among the new design elements and technical refinements featured in the all new C-Class are the completely novel sensual exterior and interior design, a new 1.5 litre engine fitted in all three models, a 12.3-inch driver display and an 11.9-inch high-resolution central display slightly tilted towards the driver, a redesigned Multifunction sports steering wheel, DIGITAL Head lights and MBUX Navigation Plus.
Exterior design: sensual purity with a sporty and elegant theme
The all new C-Class already looks to be in motion at a standstill with its dynamic proportions. The sporty bonnet with power domes accentuates this urge of forward motion. Other features producing the sporty, superior appearance include the wide track and the flush 18-inch wheels. All models feature a central star, with the design and character of the radiator grille differing in the details. The AVANTGARDE line delivers an unmistakable elegant look. While, the distinguishing feature of the Sport line is the AMG design elements such as the diamond grille with the star design in chrome and AMG body kit.
