The new MercedesBenz CClass Estate QUICKPIC Mercedes-Benz is expanding the C-Class family with the new Estate. The Estate stands out with its clear sporty design, innovative technology, variability and a load capacity enlarged even beyond that of its predecessor. Its high-class, sophisticated interior makes modern luxury tangible with design highlights. The Estate reinforces its reputation as a multifaceted lifestyle vehicle with outstanding properties for everyday use. In addition, with its many new assistance systems it not only offers the highest standards of safety, but thanks to intelligent lightweight construction, exceptional aerodynamics and new economical engines, it also sets new efficiency benchmarks in its segment. The new C-Class Estate combines a striking, dynamic design and high-class appointments with outstanding variability and a high level of utility. With its versatility, it also adapts to a wide variety of requirements. As a stylish, sporty, spacious vehicle it accompanies active, modern people on shopping sprees, on vacation or when playing sports, and is suitable for families in every respect. Consequently, it continues the tradition of the C-Class Estates, which all in their own time combined demands on lifestyle, sportiness and practicality in an estate car on a new level. “The new C-Class Estate is extremely practical thanks to its enlarged, variable load compartment. With innovative lightweight construction and its state-of-the-art technical features it sets the benchmark with regards to safety, efficiency and comfort,” says Selvin Govender, marketing director, Mercedes-Benz Cars. “We are the first premium manu-

facturer to offer a comfortable air suspension in this segment, giving all drivers noticeably more driving enjoyment.” The new C-Class sets visual highlights with a modern, dynamic design that also exudes sensual purity, arouses emotions and, to top it all off, stages high tech in perfect fashion. Customers can choose from two fronts – with the sports grille or the luxury grille with the MercedesBenz star on the bonnet. Unusual for a vehicle with a focus on a high level of utility and functionality is the high-quality interior of the Estate, which was adopted from the sedan. With straightforward sportiness, thrilling flowing lines and high-grade materials on
the level of a luxury vehicle, it provides a modern, luxurious and at the same time sporty ambience. In addition to the base model, there are also three distinct design and equipment lines each for the exterior and interior. The Estate also bears the quality seal of the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF) for a scientifically tested high level of allergy-friendliness. Mercedes-Benz is the only vehicle manufacturer to earn the ECARF seal. Thanks to innovative solutions, the bodyshell of the new C-Class Estate weighs less, provides the basis for outstanding vehicle handling and best noise and vibration comfort with exceptional rigidity, and

offers a high level of crash safety. With an aluminium content of 49% and up to 65 kg less gross vehicle weight the Estate is the lightweightconstruction leader in its segment. The powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines with ECO start/ stop function comply with the Euro 6 emissions standards and ensure sporty performance and driving pleasure. When compared with its predecessor, certain members of the line-up consume in excess of 20% less fuel. The diesel model of the new C-Class Estate is equipped with SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology. The C-Class Estate range includes two BlueDIRECT four-cylinder pet-
rol engines with power outputs from 115 kW to 135 kW for the C 180 and C 200 respectively and one BlueTEC four-cylinder diesel engine with 150 kW of power for the C 250 BlueTEC. Exemplary suspension comfort and road roar and tyre vibration characteristics coupled with outstanding dynamic vehicle handling – these are the hallmarks of the newly designed suspension of the new C-Class Estate. Thanks to a new four-link front axle it offers driving pleasure and ride comfort at the same time. C-Class Estate customers will have a choice of two versions of the standard-specification steel suspension, which also includes a sporty set-up. As an alternative, MercedesBenz for the first time offers an air suspension in this segment. The AIRMATIC air suspension manages to bridge the gap between a high level of ride comfort and dynamic, agile handling. AIRMATIC also features all-round self-levelling for optimum ride comfort even with the vehicle loaded. All models of the C-Class family will feature an electromechanical Direct-Steer system as standard from now on. This combines speedsensitive servo assistance from the speed-sensitive steering with a steering ratio that varies with the given steering angle. The power steering assistance provided by the rack-and-pinion steering gear is controlled as needed, thereby contributing towards efficiency. As with all Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, the C-Class Estate comes standard with a 6-year/100 000 km Premium Drive maintenance plan, with no customer contribution.
