Introduced a new generation of the C-Class on January 18, 2007 and is expected to display it in the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. Sales will start in late March 2007 for the European market. The new vehicle has an extended wheelbase and tracks, a stiffer bodyshell and a design inspired by the most recent S-Class and some hints from the CLS-Class. The model will have three levels of equipment – Classic, Elegance and Avantgarde. A high performance AMG version with a 6.2 L engine will follow. The Classic and Elegance lines retain the traditional Mercedes-Benz radiator grill, with a three-point star bonnet emblem. The Avantgarde line has a grill similar to that on Mercedes’ sport coupe models, with three horizontal bars and a large centre-mounted star.
Mercedes plans on redesigning the entire C-Class lineup with saloon and estate versions – while the Sportcoupé will remain based on the W203 chassis – coming out throughout 2007 and 2008. There will be an increase of component-sharing with other Mercedes’ models, namely the redesigned E- and S-Class, as well as the upcoming GLK-Class compact SUV.
Versions of the car will be available with a choice of rear- and all-wheel drive (in the latter case an improved version of the 4MATIC system), along with a variety of four- and six-cylinder engines. Engines will most likely be the straight-4 M271 and V6 M272 petrol engines and straight-4 OM611 + OM651 and V6 OM642 Diesel engines. Six speed manual transmissions and the 7G-TRONIC seven-gear automatic transmissions will be available on six-cylinder engines and a five speed automatic will be optional on the four cylinder models.
