A new look for the C-Class

Mercedes-Benz has given a mid-life shake-up to their most popular model, the C-Clbad, which is now available in dealer showrooms, fresh from having undergone a comprehensive makeover that has seen improvements made in all departments.

These new changes can be seen across the full range, the C-Clbad saloon, estate, coupé and cabriolet models and designers have delivered a host of external design changes that give it a distinctly more sporty appearance.

Visually there are redesigned front and rear bumpers, new front and rear lights, chrome highlighting, new silver and emerald green metallic colour additions and diamond pattern grille on AMG versions.

Its other key features include completely new electronic architecture and a new generation of four-cylinder petrol engines. It is offered in three style and equipment lines – Avantgarde, Exclusive, and AMG.

Other noteworthy items include a fully digital display and multimedia information system that can be configured according to personal preference.

Included are two USB ports, an SD card reader, Bluetooth connection and media interface, geared to provide tailor-made information and in-car entertainment as well as latest-generation online and Mercedes-me App services.

Describing the new C-Clbad range as “a product of our time”, Mercedes-Benz sales manager in Ireland, Ciaran Allen said that “in terms of its high-tech, high-value safety and drive-comfort improvements, the new C-Clbad range raises the bar in terms of what might have been imagined when production of this latest generation began only a few years ago”.

Models likely to feature strongly in the Irish market will be the C180 petrol and the C180d and C200d models. Available in saloon, estate, coupé and cabriolet form in two style and equipment lines – Avantgarde and AMG – prices begin from €37,710.
