Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2005
More dynamic, impressive and attractive: Mercedes-Benz makes new emphases in the C-Class
Four years after its launch, Mercedes-Benz is significantly upgrading the successful C-Class in terms of technology, equipment and design. The suspension, steering and six-speed manual transmission have a more sporty configuration, ensuring that the C-Class offers an even more agile driving experience. From spring 2004 a 141 kW/192 hp supercharged four-cylinder engine will join the engine range available for the Saloon and Estate models.
Even at standstill the redesigned front end with its bumper, radiator grille and headlamps conveys the dynamic characteristics of this Mercedes model series, which is available as a Saloon, Estate and Sports Coupé. With state-of-the-art technology, good long-distance comfort and sporty agility, the C-Class has won the hearts of more than 1.26 million drivers worldwide since May 2000. Never before has Mercedes-Benz sold so many vehicles from one model series in such a short time.

Mercedes-Benz has now reinforced the well-proven characteristics of the C-Class with an intensive model facelift, at the same time making new emphases in terms of dynamism, comfort and perceived value. Exterior: redesigned front end, wider tyres and more scratch-resistant paintwork The more dynamic appearance is above all created by the redesigned front bumper with its striking, sportscar-like lower air intake and the likewise redesigned radiator grille, which has three slats, appears wider and therefore conveys an impression of power. Depending on the model and equipment, these slats are painted or embellished with a sporty matrix of perforations. In future Mercedes-Benz is equipping the C-Class with clear-lens headlamps as standard.
The output of the well-proven four-cylinder diesel in the C 220 CDI has been increased to 110 kW/150 hp (previously 105 kW/143 hp. This engine is equipped with second-generation common-rail direct injection and runs with exemplary smoothness by virtue of balancer shafts. Fuel consumption is just 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC overall consumption; Estate 6.5 l/100 km). Thanks to a technically sophisticated, additive-free particulate filter system the diesel models C 200 CDI and C 220 CDI already meet the EU-4 exhaust emission limits valid from 2005.
