Introduction
Following on the heels of the debut of the all-new C-Class sedan, Mercedes-Benz chose the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show to introduce its all-new C-Class Estate (wagon). The C-Class wagon was first introduced in 1993 (riding on the Mercedes-Benz W202 platform), making this, the new model, a third-generation iteration. Larger, wider, and more refined than the model it replaces, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class wagon offers the largest loading volume—and most diverse range of engine variant and equipment packages—of all premium wagon models in its market segment, according to Mercedes.
Model Lineup
Mercedes-Benz will sell the standard C-Class wagon in three different iterations: Classic, Elegance and Avantgarde. Each version highlights the different sporting or comfort levels of the vehicle. The standard, lightly appointed model is called Classic. The Elegance model, decidedly luxurious with its louvered grille, adds fine wood trim and luxury appointments.
