With its intelligent lightweight-design concept boasting weight savings of up to 100kg, excellent aerodynamics and new economical engines, the C-Class establishes new efficiency benchmarks in this segment.
Review had the opportunity to take the C220 BlueTEC model for a drive over the weekend to get a driving impression of this German aristocrat.
As with all the models in the new C-Class range, the C220 BlueTEC has an abundance of safety features.
The plush leather seats, combined with a silky smooth six-speed automatic gearbox, truly give the driver a longing for the open road. It was therefore no surprise that customers were lining up to test drive this beauty.
At first, it might take a couple of minutes to become accustomed to the head-up display feature. However, the driver will soon discover clearer legibility and far less distraction from the road ahead thanks to this feature. Mercedes-Benz designers cleverly placed this display on the front windscreen without obscuring the road in any way.
The new C-Class measures larger than its predecessor, but its superb and easy handling give the impression you are driving a smaller sedan.
There is also ample legroom and head space for both the driver and the passengers.
The new C-Class measurements:
• Wheelbase – 2 840mm.
• Length – 4 686mm.
• Width – 1 810mm.
• Boot capacity – 480l.
