(from Mercedes-Benz
Press Release) For lovers of exclusive cars Mercedes-Benz
is proud to announce the arrival of an eye-catching new version of
the C-Class on the scene. The new Special Edition is set to draw
admiring glances with its sporty, elegant design features, reserved
for this model only, a high-quality interior plus some exciting
technical highlights as part of the standard specification,
including AGILITY CONTROL, ADAPTIVE BRAKE, BlueEFFICIENCY and the
Intelligent Light System, ensuring that even the most discerning
requirements are met for those looking for refinement, motoring
pleasure and a car with a distinctive character. The Special Edition
is available as a saloon and an estate and with all the C-Class
engines.
Sporty passion, exciting
dynamism and effortlessly superior style – these are the
distinguishing characteristics of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Special Edition. The striking C-Class design that has won a number
of awards has now been given an even finer, and yet at the same time
more sporty, air by Mercedes-Benz through the addition of some
charismatic details. Playing a major role in the vehicle’s image are
its darkened front headlamps with a dark cover frame, the new indium
grey paintwork (obsidian black, palladium silver, iridium silver or
calcite white are also available) and 17-inch 5-spoke light-alloy
wheels with mixed-size tyres (235/60 R 17 at the front, 255/55 R 17
at the rear). As an alternative there are also 16-inch 7-spoke
light-alloy wheels and 205/55 R17-size tyres all round.
The optical finesse of
the exterior comes courtesy of touches such as shoulderline trim
strips in polished aluminium, the finned radiator in brilliant
silver matt with chrome highlights and an integrated star, front fog
lamps with a chrome ring and chromed twin louvres, chrome highlights
in the bumper, rub strip and boot lid plus the B-pillar trim painted
glossy black.
Like the exterior, the
interior is based on the AVANTGARDE design and equipment line. Its
aesthetics have been streamlined and its sportiness sharpened
through the inclusion of further high-quality materials and
carefully coordinated details. An example of these stylish elements
are the seats – exclusively manufactured for the Special Edition –
made from black ARTICO man-made leather with Liverpool fabric in
como beige. There is contrasting topstitching in comobeige
embellishing the seats, centre armrest, door centre panel and floor
mats, serving to underline the dynamic theme. The floor mats also
bear the “Special Edition” lettering. Leather seats are available as
an optional extra – also in two-tone variants featuring black/sahara
beige or black/cognac brown.
Trim parts in brushed
aluminium which have been designed exclusively for this C-Class
Special Edition contrast with the interior in black and beige,
creating an ambience full of soul. The standard specification
includes armrests with a double cup holder and a stowage compartment
at the front and rear, 1/3 : 2/3 folding rear seats with a
through-loading feature, a luxury multifunction leather steering
wheel with a 4.5 inch display in the instrument cluster that boasts
three analogue round dials with tapered tube-style surrounds, not to
mention a shift/selector lever in leather, plus seat heating.
The range of equipment
includes some superb technical innovations such as AGILITY CONTROL,
ADAPTIVE BRAKE and BlueEFFICIENCY, helping the C-Class to set
standards in the compact premium-car segment. Also part of the
standard specification on board the Special Edition is the
Intelligent Light System featuring bi-xenon headlamps with variable
light distribution, an active light function, dynamic headlamp range
control plus a cornering light function that ensures optimum
adaptation to the current visibility. Yet more comfort is afforded
by PARKTRONIC with its acoustic and optical distance warning.
The new Mercedes-Benz
C-Class Special Edition is available now in both saloon and estate
guise with the entire engine line-up, including the redeveloped,
especially powerful four-cylinder diesel engines which come complete
with the assurance of their exemplary thriftiness and environmental
compatibility. Indeed, it is thanks to them that Mercedes-Benz has
achieved model status in this class where efficiency is concerned.
Depending on which
engine is ordered, the additional charge on the respective base
model in conjunction with the fabric/ARTICO man-made leather
upholstery is between 2,689.40 and 3,879.40 euros (between 4,629.10
and 5819.10 euros in conjunction with leather upholstery) including
German VAT.
