Mercedes Classe C 220 Cdi – Long Test Drive
TEST DRIVE - Mercedes
Now with a sporty look
Mercedes is capable of arouse interest all around the world: as a matter of facts, since years it is a real protagonist inside the luxury sedan segment. The smallest of the range, 4 meters and 58 long, is the car which has to challenge the aggressive competition with BMW and Audi. We were all waiting for it, and now new Mercedes Classe C has eventually showed itself: Infomotori.co.uk could not miss this occasion, and now all Web users can delight their eyes taking a look at our photogallery.
A little S-Klasse
As we have already noticed, Mercedes “C-Klasse” third generation differ a little from the previous model, not only in terms of design, which still follows Classe S' style, but over all on its dimensions. The new Mercedes C-Klasse looks definately longer and wider, to challenge all competitors inside the world of flasgships.
Otherwise, once we open the door and we take a look inside the cab, what we find is a very “simple” interior, very different from tipical flagships' ones. As a matter of fact, such materials that we usually find inside a flagship, like radica or satin-finished steel, are replaced by more classical materials, as high quality leather and plastic.
For the first time, radiator grill becomes a central element to distinguish each version from the others.
Starting with AVANTGARDE model, it features three horizontal steels and the big Mercedes Star placed at the centre; furthermore, the ELEGANCE version shows a radiator grill with thee-D steels with polished finishes, to mark the two main characteristics of the car: comfort and luxury. In conclusion, the CLASSIC version on new C-Class shows a more traditional and classic radiator grill.
