And the prices for the diesel saloons will increase
by a modest 1.3 to 1.6 percent. The new C 200 CDI will cost EUR 31,892
ex-factory. The full line-up includes eight four- and six-cylinder models,
which deliver up to 13 percent more power and consume up to six percent less
fuel than the predecessor. Compared with the outgoing saloon, the standard
specification for the new C-Class features even more cutting-edge technology
designed to enhance safety and comfort. The specification includes the AGILITY
CONTROL package which adjusts the shock absorbers to suit the individual
situation, the ADAPTIVE BRAKE system with driver assistance functions, the
newly developed THERMATIC 2-zone automatic climate control, a kneebag for
the driver, projection-beam headlamps and brake lights that flash rapidly
in the event of emergency braking. Six model variants come as standard with
light-alloy wheels. In addition to the CLASSIC entry-level model, the ELEGANCE
and AVANTGARDE design and equipment lines are available, which cost between
EUR 1,999 and EUR 2,118 ex-factory, depending on the engine option selected.
This model concept enables Mercedes customers to emphasise certain hallmark
C-Class features. Agility dominates with the AVANTGARDE model, expressed
most forcefully through the tradition-laden sports car radiator grille with
its three horizontal louvres and the large Mercedes star. 17-inch light-alloy
wheels and aluminium trim elements are also part of the specification for
this line. The ELEGANCE model lives up to its name with features like the
high gloss painted, three-dimensional saloon radiator grille and fine wood
trim elements.
