Agility and effortless superiority Grey asphalt may not be one of life’s most inspiring sights, but for over 120 years now, our vehicles have shown that it can give drivers a lot of fun. Reason enough, we thought, to go a step further and offer a new interpretation of driving pleasure. The result is the new C - Class. Available as a Saloon or an Estate, it allows you to experience the road as never before. Few cars can compete with its ability to adjust so many facets of its character – from the interior to the drive technology – so quickly and precisely in response to external conditions and your own particular needs. The advanced technology for the new model includes the standard - fit AGILITY CONTROL package with selective damping as well as the optional dynamic handling package with sports mode which allows you to adjust the vehicle’s handling at the touch of a button. A wide range of engines ( including a number of uprated units ) means that the C-Class can be specified to meet just about any performance requirements while the arrival of the new Estate offers the ideal combination of functionality and flexibility. Both models feature fine materials and a new design, creating an even more compelling interior ambience ( whether this reflects a more sports - oriented character or a particular emphasis on comfort is entirely up to you). As you will see, in terms of its external appearance, too, the new C - Class has, quite literally, several faces. A mark of personality The design of the C - Class AVANTGARDE The completely new design of the exterior and interior has created a larger, wider and more spacious C - Class which is available with an impressive new range of paint finishes and upholstery patterns. What’s more, you can choose which aspect of your C - Class you would like to highlight. The AVANTGARDE design and equipment line emphasises the car’s sporty side. The dominant star in the radiator grille makes a powerful statement, while the chrome band which runs right around the body accentuates the taut lines of the new C - Class. A sure sign of style The design of the C - Class ELEGANCE The ELEGANCE design and equipment line brings the refinement and comfort of the C - Class to the fore. The characteristic star features as a free - standing element on the bonnet and the different chrome trim elements around the vehicle give the new C - Class a particularly impressive presence. Tone - in - tone colour schemes contribute to the warm, pleasant atmosphere of the interior. Convex, chromed badges on the front wings designate the ELEGANCE and AVANTGARDE design and equipment lines. Naturally, the timeless appeal of the CLASSIC design and equipment line is also available for the new C - Class. The new C - Class Agility 15 Your most enjoyable drive ever. Each time you get in An agile look – right down to the last centimetre The new C - Class is a pleasure to behold : its taut lines lend it an air of effortless superiority while the wide radiator grille and distinctive rear section announce a vehicle with a real presence and a dynamic personality. But these compelling looks are only part of the story. giving you a consistently high level of driving enjoyment. As an option, you can specify the dynamic handling package with sports mode which allows you to choose a particularly sporty suspension response or a distinctly comfortable one at the touch of a button. The new C - Class is equipped with many innovative technical features which deliver a driving experience that is unique in this class. Think ease and confidence. Among the highlights is the new AGILITY CONTROL package. This comprises AGILITY CONTROL suspension with a selective damping system which automatically adjusts the suspension set - up in accordance with the condition of the road – And for a perfect driving experience not only on any road, but in any weather too, you can choose the optional 4MATIC all - wheel - drive system. It is available for the C 280 and C 350 petrol - powered Saloon models and for the C 320 CDI diesel versions of the Saloon and the Estate. As well as improving grip on wet roads, for example, 4MATIC offers a noticeably more dynamic driving experience in the dry, too. Agility | Diesel engines 17 Engines with the power to move you The C - Class diesel models with common - rail technology Three efficient and powerful CDI engines are available for the new C - Class. The C 320 CDI boasts a six - cylinder common - rail unit with an output of 165 kW ( 224 hp ) which accelerates the car to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds (Estate: 7.9 s). The two 4 - cylinder models, the C 200 CDI and C 220 CDI, have undergone numerous technical enhancements and now deliver even more power and significantly more torque. Thanks to the improved piston cooling provided by the enlarged oil spray nozzles as well as an optimised oil supply to the plain bearings, the C 200 CDI now develops 100 kW ( 136 hp ) and the C 220 CDI has an output of 125 kW ( 170 hp ). Moreover, metal glow plugs have been replaced in both engines by ceramic ones which are able to attain higher temperatures for improved cold - running properties.

The C 320 CDI features a new, modified transmission ratio, specially tuned to this model’s high torque, which peaks at 510 Nm. If you’re looking for even faster gear changes, why not let the C - Class do the work for you ? A 5 - speed automatic transmission is available as an option for all 4 - cylinder models. The highlight of our transmission range, the 7G - TRONIC 7 - speed automatic transmission, is fitted as standard in the C 350 as well as the 4MATIC models and is available as an option for all other 6 - cylinder models. The seven forward gears permit optimum rev levels at all times and make for almost imperceptible gear changes. 7G - TRONIC can also skip individual gears when downshifting for quicker bursts of speed. A nice touch : If your car is fitted with an automatic transmission and you want to change up or down a gear manually, simply nudge the selector lever to the right or left 24 Agility | Suspension An even more compelling driving experience at the touch of a button The dynamic handling package for the new C - Class The dynamic characteristics of the new C - Class set the standard by which all vehicles in this segment are judged – a standard which is raised even further by the optional dynamic handling package with sports mode. A touch of a button is all it takes to choose a distinctly comfort-oriented driving experience or a compellingly sporty one. With sports mode selected, the system adjusts not only the firmness of the damping, but also sharpens the accelerator response. Assuming, of course, that you are in the mood for it. Otherwise, you can simply choose the comfort mode and enjoy a particularly smooth and comfortable ride. Whatever the selected mode, the electronically controlled damping system constantly adjusts to the driving situation and the condition of the road. The result is a smoother ride, increased handling safety and, above all, greater agility. The dynamic handling package includes innovative speed - sensitive sports steering which uses a modified steering response map to deliver a particularly sporty feel. This sensation is complemented by the lower - slung chassis ( 15 mm lower ) which makes fast corners even more enjoyable. Dynamic handling package : The dynamic handling package allows you to match the C - Class to your mood. A touch of a button is all it takes to give the vehicle a distinctly sporty handling response. Vehicles equipped with 7G - TRONIC benefit from an additional, noticeable reduction in shift times when in sports mode 26 The C - Class makes the best of bad weather High traction with 4MATIC all - wheel drive When contending with loose gravel, snow or challenging inclines, 4MATIC all - wheel drive distributes the engine power to the wheels that need it most. It interacts intelligently with the Electronic Stability Program ESP , acceleration skid control ASR and the 4MATIC - specific electronic traction system 4ETS to increase both directional stability and traction – particularly where road conditions are difficult. 4MATIC permanent all - wheel drive is available for the C 280, C 350 and C 320 CDI Saloons as well as for the C 320 CDI Estate. All 4MATIC models are equipped as standard with the 7G - TRONIC 7 - speed automatic transmission. 4ETS : In the 4MATIC models the ETS electronic traction system is adapted to the special requirements of all - wheel drive. It automatically diverts the drive torque to the wheels with the best grip Agility | 4MATIC 27 Comfort 31 Why long trips are going to seem much too short from now on The interior of the new C - Class With its soft materials, fine trim elements and more space than ever, the interior of the new C - Class is particularly inviting. Shoulder and elbow room has been increased, and rear - seat passengers will also quickly feel at home thanks to their increased legroom. The exceptional ambience of the interior is heightened further by numerous attractive design details with chrome, wood or aluminium trim, depending on the model and your preferences. With a wide range of optional equipment highlights to choose from, including the new panoramic sliding sunroof, which features a particularly large glass area, driving the C - Class is a joy that, quite literally, knows no bounds. Take a seat : Not just a new look : the upper - leg and lateral support areas of the seat cushions are now firmer, helping to keep you fresh and alert when on the move Comfort | Cockpit 33 You’ve worked hard enough. Now it’s our turn Stress - relieving comfort in the new C - Class A driving environment which allows you to concentrate on the task in hand is not just a luxury, it is also a major safety feature. It all starts with the well - designed driver’s area. The new dashboard allows you to take in all the necessary information at a glance. The instrument cluster, with its three round displays, is situated in the driver’s immediate field of vision and provides information about key operating parameters. Depending on the equipment version, you can use the multifunction steering wheel for easy and convenient control of various features while keeping both hands on the steering wheel. And with the optional KEYLESS - GO function, you can drive off without even having to turn an ignition key. A comfortable travelling environment comes courtesy of THERMATIC 2 - zone automatic climate control which is fitted as standard in the new C - Class. As an option, you can specify THERMOTRONIC 3 - zone luxury automatic climate control which, among other things, allows the temperature of the rear section of the passenger compartment to be set independently as well. An easy touch : The instruments and systems have intuitive controls. The press of a button is all it takes to adjust audio settings, in - car entertainment selections or, here, the temperature 34 Comfort | Seat comfort Soft on the outside, firm on the inside The secrets of exceptional travel comfort Equipped on the driver side with a lumbar support for enhanced lower - back comfort, the newly developed front seats are electrically adjustable for cushion height and backrest angle. These settings, in combination with others such as the steering wheel position, head restraint height and exterior mirror position, can be stored by means of the optional memory package. This allows three different configurations to be recalled at the touch of a button. Also available as an optional extra, the multicontour seat has adaptive air chambers for even greater comfort. It allows you to adjust the contours of the backrest – in the lumbar region, for example – and the seat cushion length to suit your own requirements and preferences. If it’s the dynamic side of the new C - Class that interests you most, there’s the optional AMG sports package which includes seats with more pronounced contours for even greater lateral support. Other optional extras include leather upholstery. Depending on the line, this is available in the form of either man - made leather or genuine leather in a choice of attractive colours. Comfort | COMAND APS 37 Typical Mercedes : a navigation system that’s a real turn for the better The new COMAND APS multimedia navigation system The optional COMAND APS control and display system guides you directly to your destination, helping you to arrive fresh and composed. It combines audio, telephone and navigation functions. With its newly developed interface, COMAND APS is now more intelligent and user - friendly than ever – despite having considerably extended functionality. The pivoting 7 - inch display with new graphic elements and colours is now at the same level as the instrument cluster and is therefore ideally positioned in the driver’s field of vision. COMAND APS can be controlled either via an input array in the centre console or via the controller which falls conveniently to hand in front of the armrest. Moreover, all key functions can now also be called up by means of a voice recognition function : the destination input section of the navigation system has whole - word recognition capability for all place names and road names, a stored telephone number can be dialled simply by saying the name associated with it and you can even set the system up to read out your text messages. Bluetooth functionality is also integrated to allow safe hands - free mobile phone operation and the DVD player is compatible not only with video and audio DVDs, but with CDs and MP3 files too. Up to 1000 MP3 music tracks can be stored on the hard disc of the navigation system. All at your fingertips : The armrest is designed in such a way that the controller automatically falls to hand. It offers a particularly fast, easy and intuitive way of adjusting the full range of COMAND APS settings Comfort | Ride comfort 39 A chauffeur - driven feel The new C - Class : setting the benchmark for comfortable suspension and low noise levels The C - Class has always been synonymous with outstanding ride comfort. The aim of our engineers was therefore to raise the standard yet again. As a result, the new C - Class features a selective damping system. The standard - fit AGILITY CONTROL package automatically adjusts the dampers at each wheel to a harder or softer setting according to the current driving situation, ensuring a significantly smoother ride than conventional dampers, especially on poor road surfaces. Low interior noise levels are a prerequisite for a relaxing driving experience. To eliminate wind noise from the C - Class interior even more effectively, we have optimised the shape of countless bodywork details and further improved the sound insulation. Selective damping system : Softer shock absorber characteristics ensure an extremely smooth ride in normal mode. For dynamic driving the full damping force is made available to stabilise the vehicle Comfort | Load compartment 41 If you need more space, we have the real estate Simply more possibilities Every day brings its challenges, be they large or small, personal or professional. It is only natural, therefore, that anyone who wants to be prepared for any situation should set particularly high standards when it comes to choosing an Estate, not least with regard to the variability of the load compartment. So we took special care to address these needs comprehensively during the development of the new C - Class Estate – with the handy stowage nets, the 485 to 1500 - litre load capacity ( particularly impressive in this segment ) and the EASY - PACK load - securing kit. All the details have been fully thought - out and are geared to the same objective : ensuring your comfort. The new C - Class Estate also impresses with its extremely high payload of up to 605 kg1 as well as its remarkable towing capacity of up to 1800 kg. What’s more, when you make use of the latter, you benefit from the additional safety offered by the trailer stabilisation functionality of the vehicle’s ESP  system. A range of options, including automatic opening / closing functionality for the tailgate and a new type of self - levelling suspension for optimum load compensation, enhances the everyday practicality of this all - rounder even further. 1 As per DIN Safety 45 A theory which can save lives in practice PRO - SAFE ™ : the integral safety concept from Mercedes - Benz Few, if any, fields of activity inspire us to produce such consistently impressive results as researching new safety technologies. As early as the 1950s, we passed an important safety milestone when legendary vehicle safety pioneer Béla Barényi invented the passenger safety cell. This era also saw revolutionary ideas put forward by many others – such as Rolf Maier. In order to be able to study the crash performance of steering and restraint systems quickly and cost - effectively, Maier and his engineer colleagues designed and built a special sled which was to be driven into a wall at high speed. When they needed to create a crumple zone, the team came up with a simple, yet brilliant solution : gherkin tins from the staff restaurant – a typical example of the creative spirit which characterised this pioneering time. Much as we like to reflect on the past, though, our focus has always been firmly on the future. The best example is our vision of accident - free driving which is closer today than ever before thanks to PRO - SAFE ™. This integral safety concept from Mercedes - Benz divides automotive safety into four phases. To ensure a safe journey throughout, the vehicle helps the driver to identify critical situations promptly and handle them safely. In the second phase, where a risk has been detected, numerous preventive measures can be activated to reduce the risk of injury. In the event of an accident, the occupants can benefit from effective, individualised protection provided by the comprehensive range of passive safety systems. Finally, the fourth component comprises the phase after the accident when further measures come into play – to make the task of the rescue services easier, for example. Additional information about the Mercedes - Benz safety concept is available on the Internet at : www.mercedes - benz.com / airbag - brochure 46 Safety | PRO - SAFE ™ 47 Focusing on helping you to stay focused Drive safely, and avoid dangers before they have a chance to develop The majority of accidents start long before the actual collision : with a lapse in concentration, poor visibility or an unexpected hazard. The new C - Class is therefore fitted with safety systems which promote relaxed motoring and help you to bring critical situations under control. For example, the COMAND control and display system as well as LINGUATRONIC voice control, both of which are available as options, allow you to keep both hands on the steering wheel. When driving, you can also count on over 60 electronic support systems. Some are designed to alert you in the event of a problem – the tyre pressure loss warning system, for example. Others are there to provide active assistance, such as the Electronic Stability Program ESP, Brake Assist BAS and, for the first time in the C-Class, ESP  trailer stabilisation. The ESP  and BAS sensors can detect hazardous driving situations – such as pronounced oversteer or understeer, dramatic steering movements, emergency and panic braking – and can assist the driver accordingly. A new addition to the C - Class is the optional Intelligent Light System, based on the bi - xenon headlamps. It automatically adapts the low - beam lights to the given driving situation, providing broader illumination of the road on extra - urban roads and improving long - range visibility on motorways. The Intelligent Light System also includes enhanced fog lamps, which significantly improve illumination of the driver’s side of the road. Other components of the Intelligent Light System include the active light and cornering light functions. With these, the headlamps follow your steering movements, lighting up bends in the road more effectively. 48 Some hazards arise in next to no time. Some protective systems are even faster The PRE - SAFE  anticipatory occupant protection system Mercedes - Benz presented PRE - SAFE  in 2002 with one particular objective in mind : the valuable seconds which precede an accident usually elapse unused. The optional PRE - SAFE  system is designed to make effective use of them. The ESP  and BAS sensors identify potentially dangerous situations such as strong oversteer or understeer, critical steering movements, panic braking or emergency braking. PRE - SAFE  : If there is an immediate danger of an accident occurring, the optional PRE - SAFE  system can tauten the seat belts, close the side windows and the optional tilting / sliding sunroof or panoramic glass roof and move the seats into a more favourable position ( in conjunction with electrically adjustable seats and memory package ) Safety | PRO - SAFE ™ 49 There’s more. PRE - SAFE  electronically evaluates this information and, when faced with situations which are typically associated with hazards, it triggers precautionary measures to protect the occupants – including automatic tautening of the seat belts, automatic repositioning of the front passenger seat ( provided it is electrically adjustable and equipped with the memory function ) and automatic closure of the side windows and the optional tilting / sliding sunroof or panoramic glass roof. In the event of emergency braking, the adaptive brake lights are also activated, their flashing mode providing a more noticeable warning to following traffic than conventional brake lights. 50 If it comes to the crunch, you can trust Mercedes to cushion the blow Restraint systems and the passenger safety cell can protect you and others effectively in an accident Numerous occupant protection systems can significantly reduce the risk of injury in an accident. In the event of a rear - end collision, for example, sensors cause the standard fit NECK - PRO head restraints for the driver and front passenger to deploy in a matter of milliseconds to reduce the distance between the seat occupant’s head and the head restraint. and windowbags whose protection zone covers virtually the entire area of the side windows. The sidebags and windowbags are also triggered by pressure sensors : if the door deforms in a side - on collision, the increase in air pressure between the outer door panels and the interior of the door is registered by the pressure sensors, which assist the control unit in deploying the airbags. The C - Class is equipped with belt tensioners on the front and outer rear seats, plus numerous airbags, including two - stage driver and front passenger airbags, sidebags, Protection also extends to other road users, however, thanks to features such as smooth body surfaces with a generous degree of predefined yield. Safety | PRO - SAFE ™ 51 52 Your Mercedes may have been immobilised, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still help you Safety after the event : helping to prevent further damage and speed up the rescue effort In order to prevent further damage being caused following an accident and to assist with the task of rescuing the occupants, the C - Class is able to take various measures depending on the type and severity of the accident : the engine can be turned off automatically and the fuel supply cut. The hazard warning lights and emergency interior lights can be activated automatically, the side windows partially lowered, if necessary, and the doors automatically unlocked. To complete its holistic safety philosophy, Mercedes - Benz has also published multilingual rescue guidelines ( accessible online worldwide at www.mercedes - benz.com / rescue - guidelines ) as an additional aid for the emergency services. Safety | PRO - SAFE ™ 53 AMG 57 Precision is the hallmark of AMG, passion is its driving force Mercedes - AMG : the motorsport specialists “One man, one engine” – this philosophy embodies the sense of passion and commitment which strikes anybody who visits the facility in Affalterbach where the AMG engines are crafted. Because each engine – from the installation of the crankshaft to the filling of the oil – is the responsibility of a single experienced engineer. As a result, this specialist unit is able to guarantee the highest quality and reliability for its products. And just so you know who was responsible for the powerplant of your AMG Mercedes, the engine is fitted with a plate bearing the signature of its creator. Mercedes-AMG has a long tradition of precision engineering. More than 40 years ago, company founders Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher turned their passionate interest in auto engineering into a business : they brought motorsport to the road. Today, AMG creates not only high performance engines, but also entire vehicle concepts designed to underline the sporty dimension of a Mercedes in every respect. AMG The sportiest C - Class of all time The new C 63 AMG A 6.3 - litre naturally - aspirated V8 engine, 336 kW ( 457 hp ), 600 Nm of torque, 0 to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds ( Estate : 4.6 s ), top speed 250 km / h – the specification and performance data of the new C 63 AMG speak for themselves. But the only way to really appreciate the calibre of this exceptional vehicle is to drive it. The fifth generation of the AMG C - Class offers a perfect blend of extraordinarily impressive performance and expressive design. Outstanding power and agility are guaranteed by the combination of the AMG V8 engine and the perfectly matched AMG sports suspension with a newly developed, wider front axle and AMG speed-sensitive sports steering. The 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G - TRONIC automatic transmission ensures optimum delivery of engine power to the road, enhances driving dynamics with its ultra - smooth downshifts and makes for an even more enjoyable drive with its throttle - blip function. The new, specially optimised three - stage Electronic Stability Program ESP  and the AMG high - performance brake system also play key roles in delivering a safe and enjoyable driving experience. But the really great thing about the C 63 AMG is that it is a genuine Mercedes - Benz in every respect – with all that that implies with regard to long - distance comfort, handling and safety – and offers an ideal combination of high performance and everyday practicality. 59 AMG 61 It’s a C - Class, but not as you know it It only takes one glance to appreciate the exceptional power of the C 63 AMG. The front view is dominated by the two pronounced powerdomes as well as the special AMG radiator grille with its central star and two chromed louvres. The front foglamps at the outer edges of the front apron emphasise the width of the vehicle, as do the flared front wings. The side air vents in the front apron provide an outlet for the heat from the additional oil - cooler. When equipped with the optional bi - xenon headlamps or the Intelligent Light System, the C 63 AMG features dark tinted headlamp lenses. The side view is dominated by the high - sheen 18 - inch AMG light - alloy wheels painted in titanium grey, as well as the attractively integrated “6.3 AMG” legend on the wings and the AMG side skirts. At the back the tone is set by characteristic brand design cues : the AMG rear apron with its black diffuser insert and three distinctive diffuser fins as well as the AMG sports exhaust system with two chromed twin tailpipes and standard - fit LED rear lights. The AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid reduces lift and provides greater directional stability and road adhesion. Exclusive optional features are available for the C 63 AMG from the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO.

And its three design and equipment lines are intended to reflect your personal style too – whether you prefer a classic, elegant or avant - garde look. Design and equipment lines | CLASSIC 69 The CLASSIC design and equipment line One look at the exterior of the C - Class CLASSIC is enough to confirm that it has all the typical Mercedes - Benz characteristics : the chromed radiator grille is embellished with the laurel wreath badge with the hallmark star standing above it on the bonnet. Fine chrome defines the top of the window areas and three black louvres add emphasis to the front air intakes. The fog lamps also have black surrounds.

Thanks to this innovative Mercedes - Benz paint system, our vehicles now make an even more impressive visual statement which is also reflected in their even higher value retention. This clearcoat developed by Mercedes - Benz is more resistant than conventional clearcoats by virtue of its particularly dense molecular structure. It also produces a more lasting and noticeably more intense sheen. Whether you choose a metallic or non - metallic paint finish, this more scratch resistant clearcoat is less sensitive to weathering and environmental influences, rain and snow, sunlight and temperature fluctuations. It is also more resistant to chemical attack and physical wear and tear, such as that caused by automatic car washes. You can rest assured that your new Mercedes will continue to shine elegantly throughout its long life. 118 The C-Class paintwork puts the finishing touch to the carefully crafted Mercedes-Benz corrosion protection system, which includes zinc phosphating and electrophoretic dip priming stages for long-lasting protection.

The wood trim elements are just one example of the craftsmanship involved : it takes around three weeks to turn this natural product into a perfectly finished Mercedes component. Special computer - controlled planing machines slice the thinnest of veneers from the wood. The ones whose colour and grain characteristics match best are then used to create a complete veneer.
