A new style of leadership.
We have given lightness new weight. With a high proportion of aluminium components and ultra-high-strength materials the body of the new C-Class is light and at
the same time offers high levels of safety. And we have wrested more economy
from the output. With state-of-the-art, agile engines which consume less and emit
fewer emissions. This is how the new C-Class, equipped with new chassis tech
nology, deploys its impressive driving dynamics. It takes aesthetic motion to a new
level.
4
5
A sense of direction.
The new C-Class can keep its distance and maintain its course as and when
necessary, keeping a watchful eye on both the approaching traffic behind and the
pedestrians ahead at the next junction. It can assist the driver with braking when
it really matters. And issue an alert if it detects driver drowsiness. This is the new
C-Class with Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive. Innovative – in some cases optional –
driving assistance systems support the driver more comprehensively than ever.
6
airmatic
The optional air suspension system pampers the car’s occupants with
exemplary ride comfort. This is taken care of by continuously variable dampers, which can automatically adapt to every driving
situation. On request the driver also has the opportunity to select
sporty tuning. Maximum refinement, which is maintained at all times,
even when carrying a heavy load. The highlight: when travelling at
a high speed, the new C-Class lowers itself to reduce wind resistance
and increase driving stability.
7
8
Seduction of the mind.
Elegant and intelligent. The front end of the new C-Class is an exciting mix of elegant
design and innovative Mercedes-Benz technology, such as the inimitable look of the
Intelligent Light System’s new optional LED headlamps. They welcome the driver with
blue light even as they unlock the car and during the journey they transform into a source
of intelligent light technologies.

11
A new dimension of space.
Perfectly adapted to human ergonomics, comprehensively networked with the possibilities of
a digital age: with Mercedes connect me the driver, car and personal lifeworld become an
exciting whole. Place your trust in online-based services which automatically help you in an
emergency. Check important vehicle data via optional Remote Online remote control. And
playfully configure your apps for the new C-Class. You will be amazed at what is now possible.
12
13
Cultivates new standards.
Generosity is absolute when it is evident everywhere. In a design that carries you away and
doesn’t let go. In innovative technology which transforms into an incomparable driving feel.
And it manifests itself in a space which offers your wishes even more freedom. Experience
a new refinement: the new C-Class Estate.
14
In harmony with its stature.
15
The new C-Class offers impressive dynamism – over every metre and with every
glance. New chassis technologies such as the optional AIRMATIC Agility package
are just as impressive as elegant design solutions. Just look along the roof rails
of the estate model: they follow the elegant design line in complete harmony. For
less wind resistance and visibly more dynamism.
16
Indulge your senses.
Touchpad
Gestures are the original form of communication. They are brief and unambiguous. As
if made for motoring. Because one thing above all deserves your attention whilst
you’re driving: the traffic around you. One or two gestures with your fingers –
a quick swipe or splay – is all the newly developed touchpad with multitouch sensor
system integrated in Audio 20 CD and COMAND Online needs to understand what you
want. It can even decipher the letters and numbers in your handwriting. Incidentally,
the touchpad in the new C-Class is the first ever to be able to control all the functions
of an infotainment system based on gestures alone.
17
18
19
Its origins are written all over its face.
The front section of the new C-Class with the star on the bonnet: unmistakably a Mercedes-Benz. The technology behind the striking front is at least as characteristic: the shutter on the optional AIRPANEL opens
and closes via an ingenious mechanism. This optimises the aerodynamics as necessary and thus cuts the
fuel consumption.
20
Out and about in a special place.
21
Space is luxury. When the new C-Class Estate offers it, it grows beyond itself. With
even more room in the rear for high seating comfort. And with even more freedom
and flexibility. For example thanks to a seat backrest split in a 40/20/40 ratio, which
can be conveniently folded down from the luggage compartment.
22
What makes a car a Mercedes?
Deep-rooted traditions: in our case, it is innovative traditions
that run deep. We have continually gone down previously
uncharted avenues. Milestone by milestone. These ventures
spawned the first vehicle with a crumple zone, the first
ABS, the first diesel car. The first automobile. But rather
than wallowing in the past, let us look to the future.
Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive – on the road to accidentfree driving. We develop intelligent assistance systems
which actively support the driver and noticeably relieve the
driver’s workload. They monitor and analyse the vehicle’s
surroundings and handling – and warn the driver if they
identify any critical situations. When necessary, some of
the systems are able to intervene to take corrective action.
Potential dangers are identified earlier than ever – and
ever more frequently avoided as a result. Discover the
fascinating world of Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive at
www.mercedes-benz-intelligent-drive.com
BlueEfficiency – our vision of emission-free driving.
Sustainability is a big word to which we lend real meaning
in all that we do, down to the smallest details. From
minimising the environmental impact of our production
operations to alternative drive concepts.
Welcome to a world that revolves around you. We focus
on people. This is the standard we adhered to when we
developed a new platform for your personal contact with
Mercedes-Benz. With individual services made for you.
“connect me” links the vehicle with your world, with everything that is important to you. “move me” offers new
mobility solutions. And with “inspire me” we give you an
exclusive look ahead at the future of mobility. Your access
to an exciting world: www.mercedes.me
As you can see, we have major goals in our sights. And
what could be better than seeing these aims achieved whilst
on a long drive in a Mercedes?

Energy needs change. And somebody to change it.
Every one of the engines for the new C-Class is already
driven by one form of renewable energy: the power of
innovation. Like the BlueTEC diesel engines with particularly low pollutant emissions. Complex catalytic converter
technology reduces nitrogen oxides substantially, making
driving literally one of the purest of joys.
The combination of a 4-cylinder petrol engine or hybrid
module with the automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC PLUS
also facilitates what is known as “sailing”. In appropriate
driving conditions the engine can be decoupled from the
drive system and the kinetic energy used even more
efficiently. This also reduces consumption and emissions.
The engine range
Diesel:
C 180 BlueTEC with an output of 85 kW (116 hp)
and a peak torque of 280 Nm
C 200 BlueTEC with an output of 100 kW (136 hp)
and a peak torque of 320 Nm (estate 300 Nm)
C 220 BlueTEC BlueEFFICIENCY Edition with an output of
In the case of the petrol engines, measures such as the
combination of exhaust gas turbocharging with direct
injection and an enhanced combustion process reduce
both fuel consumption and emissions. So much so that
the new C-Class already meets the requirements of the
Euro 6 emissions standard.
The new C-Class offers an intelligent and efficient drive
configuration in the form of the C 300 BlueTEC HYBRID. At
its heart is the hybrid module: it consists of a 4-cylinder
diesel engine, a compact electric motor, the automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC PLUS and a powerful lithium-ion highvoltage battery. It represents powerful acceleration, less
consumption and exemplary CO2 emissions. And a compact design which hardly takes up any more room.
120 kW (163 hp) and a peak torque of 400 Nm (saloon only)
The engine technology. Part of a bigger whole. The
company that invented the car has a special responsibility.
To reduce the impact on the environment, the new C-Class
therefore incorporates a raft of further measures. An ECO
start/stop function and a gearshift recommendation
function are included as standard, while special driving
modes and route recommendation are available as optional extras, depending on the car’s equipment.
C 220 BlueTEC with an output of 125 kW (170 hp)
and a peak torque of 400 Nm
C 250 BlueTEC with an output of 150 kW (204 hp)
and a peak torque of 500 Nm
C 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC with an output of 150 kW (204 hp)
and a peak torque of 500 Nm (saloon only)
C 300 BlueTEC HYBRID with an output of 150 + 20 kW
(204 + 27 hp) and a peak torque of 500 Nm (saloon only)1
Petrol:
C 180 with an output of 115 kW (156 hp)
and a peak torque of 250 Nm
C 200 with an output of 135 kW (184 hp)

7G-TRONIC PLUS. The command centre.
In addition to seven gears, the 7-speed automatic transmission offers excellent ride comfort, driving enjoyment and
efficiency. The seven forward gears allow a wide ratio spread with low engine speed increments between the individual
gears. The result: fast-response and fuel-saving gear changes with smooth transitions. Skipping individual gears allows
multiple downshifts for powerful, fast bursts of speed. And the AGILITY SELECT switch lets the driver preselect the gearshift characteristics. Steering-wheel gearshift paddles similar to the ones used in motorsport can be used to change
gear.
Six sporty stages
The 6-speed manual transmission is perfectly tuned to the
respective engine variant and ensures extreme ease of shifting,
precise shift travel and a smooth gear change sequence. It also
promotes fuel-efficient and comfortable motoring with low engine
speeds.

Please see pages 54/55 for all technical data and availability
of the transmission variants.

It’s a question of adjustment. With one answer.
With its newly developed suspension and optional AIRMATIC Agility package, the new C-Class redefines the meaning
of refinement. The air suspension with continuously variable damping system operates fully automatically and transfers
the damping force to each wheel intelligently and precisely. A flick of the AGILITY SELECT switch is all it takes to adjust
the settings to suit requirements: individuality. Parameters such as the engine, transmission (only in the case of the
automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC PLUS), suspension and steering characteristics are adjusted to suit the selected drive
program. Four programs are available, or you can put together your own individual one. Be it for optimum fuel consumption, optimum comfort or optimum agility. As its name suggests, “Sport+” places the emphasis firmly on sport – with more
progressive steering characteristics, stiffer sports-tuned suspension and modified shift points.
TWO MORE ANSWERS
AGILITY CONTROL suspension. This suspension with a selective passive damping system ensures balanced ride comfort by
optimising ride characteristics, damping effect and stabilisation
according to the road surface conditions.
ESP® Dynamic Cornering Assist. Especially when accelerating
on bends, the ESP®-based system ensures more stability and
handling safety. If the ESP® sensors register, for instance, a tendency to understeer, it can reduce this tendency with targeted
brake actuation on the inside wheels.

Fascinating, elegant, intelligent.
On the same level as you.
The optional LED Intelligent Light System impresses with its unmistakable design, low energy
consumption and more safety. The enhanced main beam, part of the optional Adaptive Highbeam
Assist Plus, does not dazzle traffic in front or oncoming traffic.
With the new optional high-resolution Head-up Display you always have the
most important information, such as the speed, speed limits or navigation
instructions, in view, depending on the equipment. For you it feels as though
the display is floating two metres in front of your eyes above the bonnet.
This ensures more safety, as you no longer have to take your eyes off the
road. For more comfort a sensor adjusts the brightness of the display to
the respective light conditions and the driver can set the position height of
the display individually.
More light
The optional Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus facilitates driving with main-beam headlamps on permanently, without dazzling
other road users. As a result the best possible headlamp range is always available to the driver.
Also available as an optional extra, the LED High Performance headlamps enhance safety at night by distributing the light
over a wide area with a light colour similar to daylight, with low energy consumption.
31
The good feeling that comes with driving a Mercedes-Benz.
We are the first automotive manufacturer worldwide to have developed an integral safety concept aimed at avoiding
accidents, ensuring ideal responses to dangers and lessening the consequences of accidents. For the occupants
of a Mercedes-Benz and for all other road users, too.
Safe driving
ATTENTION ASSIST, which comes as standard, can
improve driving safety, especially on long journeys and at
night. It can monitor the steering behaviour of the driver
to recognise typical signs of drowsiness and severe loss
of attention, and give a visual and acoustic warning of
impending microsleep.
Active Lane Keeping Assist can detect when the car
leaves its lane unintentionally, warn the driver by making
the steering wheel vibrate and actuate the brakes on one
side to help manoeuvre the vehicle back into its lane.
Active Blind Spot Assist makes one of the greatest
sources of danger in road traffic visible – vehicles in the
blind spot. For example, when the car changes lane, it
can warn the driver and help prevent an imminent collision
by applying the brakes on one side of the vehicle.
Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist
form part of the optional Driving Assistance package Plus.
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS, fitted as standard, gives the driver a visual warning if the distance to
the vehicle in front is too short. On detecting the danger
of a collision there is an acoustic warning, driver braking
can be assisted and, if the driver fails to react, the speed
can be reduced autonomously.
In an accident
The rear section of the active bonnet is raised when a
pedestrian or cyclist collides with the front of the vehicle.
The increased distance from the components inside the
engine compartment creates an additional deformation
space to absorb the impact sooner and reduce the risk
of injury.
Numerous airbags protect the occupants in the event of
an accident and can reduce the risk of serious injury:
adaptive airbags for the driver and front passenger, kneebag for the driver plus side- and windowbags. The automatic front passenger airbag suppression system can
suppress the deployment of the front passenger airbag
in accordance with the seat occupancy detected.
After an accident
Every Mercedes-Benz is fully trained in first aid. If the worst
comes to the worst, the engine can be stopped auto
matically, the hazard warning lights and emergency inte
rior lighting can be activated, and the central locking can
be unlocked. Finally the Mercedes-Benz emergency call
system (country-specific) integrated as standard can
send GPS position data and important vehicle information.
Though it is to be hoped this will never be necessary.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

technologies are available from the Mercedes-Benz TechCenter.

36
A climate with a special feel.
The large optional panoramic sliding sunroof ensures a light and friendly ambience. It consists of a fixed glass roof at
the rear and an electrically operated sliding glass roof at the front. Two electric sunblinds provide shade from strong
sunlight. In the raised position, the glass roof automatically adjusts to three tilt positions to suit the vehicle speed. You
can also take a breath of fresh air with the optional AIR-BALANCE package. To clean and to reduce certain viruses,
bacteria and spores, the air in the interior is enriched with negative oxygen ions. Incoming air is cleaned by two particulate matter activated charcoal filters. In addition to this you can choose from four high-quality fragrances which put in
a subtle appearance and quickly fade when switched off.
THE PERFECT TEMPERATURE FOR ANY TEMPERAMENT
On hot days, the active ventilation function of the optional climatised seats rapidly cools the front seat surfaces to a pleasant
temperature to ensure a well-balanced seat climate. The engageable seat heating ensures cosy warmth on demand.
The optional THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control provides
an individual on-board atmosphere of wellbeing with three climate
zones and three climate styles. The driver, front passenger and rear
passengers can set preferred temperature and air distribution for
their own seats.

Genuine Accessories.
The best knows no alternative. This also applies to the
Mercedes-Benz Genuine Accessories. Individualise your
C-Class totally in accordance with your wishes.
The highlights at a glance
The rear spoiler accentuates the spoiler lip on the tail end of the C-Class
Saloon. The high-quality base coat makes the paint finish in the desired colour
possible. Excellent durability thanks to precision-mounted, resilient polyurethane. Easy to fit, no additional drilling required. An entry in the vehicle documents is not required. Available only for the saloon.
From elegant to distinctive or sporty, style your C-Class totally in accordance
with your wishes. For example with the 5-spoke light-alloy wheels, painted
tremolite metallic and with a high-sheen finish, with 225/50 R 17 tyres.
A sporty, distinctive look comes courtesy of the front apron spoiler lip.
It emphasises the width of the vehicle and lowers the visual focus at the front
end. To be painted in desired colour by your authorised Mercedes-Benz
dealer. An entry in the vehicle documents is not required.
Especially eye-catching: the illuminated Mercedes star for the radiator grille
and the illuminated door sill panels with white “Mercedes-Benz” lettering.
The KidFix child seat is the ideal place for the youngest passengers aged
from around 3.5 to 12 years. Optimum side impact protection thanks to the
seat booster and adjustable backrest.
The multifunctional aluminium support serves as a basis for the
Mercedes-Benz roof boxes, the ski and snowboard rack or the cycle rack.

Mobilo offers special mobility services in the case of

Enjoy the digital experience of Mercedes-Benz –
wherever you happen to be. Thanks to a range of offers
optimised for smartphones and tablet computers,
you can immerse yourself in the world of Mercedes-Benz
even while on the move.
The fascination of Mercedes-Benz. A car whose name
brings a gleam to the eyes of people all over the world,
one that has featured in many a movie and been sung about
in international hits, is surely far more than just a car.
How did it come to this?
Insights into the full product range, a varied programme
of entertainment and direct contact to a wide variety of
services await you. Take an interactive tour with the
Interactive Owner’s Manual, for example, to get to know
your dream car better. Experience the various functions
in detail, take a close-up look at what’s going on inside or
explore the benefits of the particular model on your
national Mercedes-Benz website.
Discover just what has been moving the world for more
than 125 years and take a fascinating journey through
time as well as through the history of the automobile, in the
Mercedes-Benz Museum. More than 1500 exhibits
over a display area of 16500 square metres demonstrate
the unique heritage and innovative power of the inventor
of the automobile, among them one-off models such as the
oldest Mercedes still in existence, built in 1902, or the
legendary “Gullwing” cars. Welcome to a place of innovation:
www.mercedes-benz-classic.com/museum
With the “Mercedes-Benz Guides” app you can also
explore the highlights of the various vehicles off-line.
The app is available free of charge from the iTunes Store®
(iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android).
Incidentally, our TV and magazine media are also available
to watch and read digitally. Explore the whole brand
world for yourself at www.mercedes-benz.com. Just click
to take a look.
What would the history of Mercedes-Benz be like without
motorsport? What would motorsport be without
Mercedes-Benz? The first vehicle ever to win an automobile
race was powered by a Daimler engine. The first
Mercedes was a racing car. The Silver Arrows – a true
legend. Out of this glorious past has grown an exciting
present: the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula 1 team
and the DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coupés fight it
out weekend after weekend for points and victory.

Take-back of end-of-life vehicles. At the end of its long life, you can return your C-Class to us for environment-friendly disposal in accordance with
the European Union (EU) End-Of-Life Vehicle Directive. But that day lies a long way off.
A network of vehicle take-back depots and dismantlers has been established to make it as easy as possible for you to return your vehicle. You can leave it
at any of these points free of charge and, by doing so, make an important contribution to completing the recycling process and conserving resources.
For further information about the recycling and disposal of end-of-life vehicles and take-back conditions, please visit your national Mercedes-Benz website.
