Mercedes - C 200 - Sales Brochure - 2015 - 2015 (2)

2015 C - Class Sedan I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: C is for change. Year after year, the C‑Class has reached far ahead in performance, refinement and bold innovation — and put it all within reach. For 2015, a dramatically new C‑Class fuses sporty, spacious and stylish like no car in its class. It can also protect you and connect you like no one else’s sedan — in any class. It’s far more than a changed C. More like a sea change. C 300 Sedan. Turbocharging and a team of technological advances generate 241 hp and eager acceleration from four efficient cylinders. Available with rear-wheel drive1 or optional 4matic® all-wheel drive, the C 300 is generous with style and standard equipment, from its grille-mounted Star and 17" wheels to its richer, roomier cabin and industry-exclusive safety innovations. Sport and Luxury Packages let you tailor your sedan inside and out to fit your style. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: C 400 4matic Sedan. A new biturbo V‑6 sends 329 hp and 354 lb‑ft of torque to all four 18" AMG® wheels — part of its standard Sport Package. Along with aggressive AMG body styling, a sport-tuned suspension and performance-focused cockpit, the C 400 is also lavish with luxury. Heated front seats, Burmester ® premium sound, KEYLESS‑GO® and LED headlamps are all standard. New options for both models include a Head‑Up Display and AIRMATIC® air suspension. C 400 4matic Sedan shown on cover with optional Lunar Blue metallic paint, 19" AMG multispoke wheels, and Driver Assistance, Lighting and Premium Packages.

I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Your heart will race. Your gaze will linger. The Mercedes-Benz designs that people now regard as classics were all born as something strikingly modern. What unites them is also what distinguishes them from other cars: Balance, sculpture and details that start out ahead of their time, and stand up to the test of time. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Style is subjective. That is perhaps the only characteristic of design that most people can agree upon. But when the eyes behold the new C‑Class, consensus seems to form quickly on a number of its attributes. Part of that comes from the cohesiveness of the design itself — a flowing sculpture that expresses its athletic performance with confident elegance. Its long wheelbase, short overhangs and taut sheet metal — all of it lightweight aluminum — further assert its core values. In keeping with its sporting spirit, the new C integrates its iconic chrome Star within the dual chrome crosswings of its wide grille. The front apron sweeps into the headlamps, which define not only the front of the car but its profile as well. Crisp character lines draw the eye to the toned muscle of the rear shoulders. Shapely LED taillamps and a subtle spoiler sculpted into the trunklid leave a distinctive parting impression that fulfills every promise the front end began. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Three distinctive looks are available. The C 300’s standard lower bodywork is subtly accented in chrome, and sets off the standard 17" split 5‑spoke wheels. The Luxury Package, a C 300 option, includes a traditional grille with a stand-up Star, along with 17" multispoke wheels. The Sport Package, standard on the C 400 and optional on the C 300, features aggressively chiseled AMG® body styling and 18" wheels — or a 19" upgrade — and the stance of a sport-tuned suspension. C 300 Sedan shown with optional Diamond Silver metallic paint, 19" AMG multispoke wheels, Panorama roof, and Driver Assistance, Lighting, Premium and Sport Packages. C 400 4matic Sedan shown with Black interior, Linden wood trim, and optional Driver Assistance, Multimedia and Premium Packages. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Exquisite appointments. Zero disappointments. No matter how closely you examine the new C‑Class cabin, there’s one thing you won’t find: compromise. From its wide, flowing console to its satin aluminum accents, it’s a multidimensional environment that’s functional, fresh and fun. The visual centerpiece of the C ‑Class cockpit is its cascading console. But the car’s center of attention is without a doubt its driver. Every control is optimized to fit, feel and function naturally. Its instruments are designed to read quickly and clearly — from its analog gauges and vivid color screens to its newly available Head‑Up Display. Every element is engineered to work with cohesive unity, while achieving a higher order of aesthetic harmony as well. Three -dimensional shapes envelop the driver and passengers without crowding them. The I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: most spacious C‑Class yet, many details add to its open feel. Surfaces are cleverly shaped. The glass area is generous. And the dashtop screen reads crisply without a bulky visor. Polished chrome and low-sheen aluminum add rich detail to the switches and aircraftstyle vents. And a wide choice of upholstery colors can be paired with an array of decidedly modern finishes: Gloss Black with aluminum, matte-finish Open-pore Black Ash wood, the linear grain and deep gloss of Linden wood, or the timeless warmth of Burl Walnut wood. Every car gets graded on a curve. Some drivers crave power. Others seek comfort. But nothing earns more points with a driver than how a car handles. What bonds the new C to the road is more than a highly capable chassis — it’s a legacy. The forefather of today’s C ‑Class premiered the world’s first multilink suspension. Each of its 10 links — five per rear wheel — controls a single dimension of motion — for handling that’s precise and refined, yet sporty and fun. Thirty years later, the design is still a Mercedes‑Benz hallmark, and an industry benchmark. For 2015, the lighter, tighter C‑Class features new torque vectoring — a technique that uses physics and geometry to ace any handling test. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: C 400 4matic Sedan shown with optional Iridium Silver metallic paint, 19" AMG multispoke wheels, Panorama roof, and Multimedia and Premium Packages. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Performs better under pressure. There’s a reason that terms like pre-stressed, tempered and pressure-treated indicate superior performance. The same concept makes the C‑Class eager to outperform, too. Turbocharging, direct fuel injection and a newly available air suspension all convert higher pressure into response that’s quicker and sharper, yet seamless. So what you feel behind the wheel is 100% unstressed. Turbo power. An intercooled turbo boosts the inline-4 in the C 300 Sedan to 241 hp. Its peak torque of 273 lb‑ft is all on tap from just 1,300 rpm — for quicker response in any situation. And even with 20% more power and torque than its predecessor, it’s more fuel-efficient as well. In the C 400 4matic Sedan, a biturbo V‑6 puts out 329 hp and 354 lb‑ft of torque. It’ll sprint to 60 mph in a mere 5.2 seconds,2 yet return up to 29 mpg on the highway.3 Both engines employ advanced technology that acts with exceptional speed and precision, to make more torque from less fuel, with fewer emissions. The turbos spool up to high rpm with virtually no lag. The Direct Injection applies up to 2,900 psi of pressure, to finely atomize the fuel spray. The rapid-multispark ignition can fire each spark plug up to four times in a millisecond, for cleaner, more complete combustion of every droplet of fuel. Multiple modes. The new AGILITY SELECT® system can alter the car’s performance character with the flick of one button on the console. Any of five programs can be selected: ECO, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual — which you can set up à la carte. Each program includes specific settings for the shift points, throttle response and steering effort, as well as the ECO Start/Stop system and climate-control efficiency. It also varies the AIRMATIC® suspension on models so equipped. Sporty shifting. A versatile 7‑speed automatic transmission features an intuitive electronic selector and shift paddles — all fingertip-close without taking a hand from the steering wheel. At any time, a tap of the paddles offers instant manual control of gear changes. Fully automatic shifting resumes after a few moments — but if you’re taking a corner or you downshifted to hold your speed on a hill, it’ll stay manual until you’re done. Fuel-saver. While you wait at a red light or in heavy traffic, ECO Start/Stop can automatically shut off the engine, to help save fuel and emissions. The moment you’re ready to go, the system restarts the engine instantly and seamlessly. All-wheel confidence. Standard on the C 400 and a C 300 option, 4matic® is one of the lightest, most efficient all-wheel drive systems in its class. It automatically sends the engine’s torque to the tires with the best grip — whether that’s all four wheels, two of them, or even just one. And since 4matic is especially nimble, it adds cornering fun in summer as much as it enhances your confidence on wet roads or in winter.4 Control with comfort. The 4‑wheel multilink suspension’s new front axle relieves the struts of any wheel-locating duty. The legendary 5-arm rear axle is further refined, with forged aluminum components to cut weight while raising rigidity and precision. Four suspension setups are offered. The standard selective damping can instantly firm up for sharper response in corners, while maintaining ride quality on uneven surfaces. The Sport Package5 adds firmer tuning. A Luxury Package for the C 300 emphasizes comfort. A new option is also a class first: AIRMATIC. An advanced air suspension, it continuously adjusts to optimize control, comfort and composure. AGILITY SELECT lets you engage two Sport modes. On every model, standard ESP® Curve Dynamic Assist can shift torque toward the outside rear wheel in a corner, to further enhance agility.4 Rolling style. The C 300 Sedans come with 17" split 5‑spoke alloy wheels, or any of four optional choices all the way up to 19" AMG® wheels.6 Every C 400 is fitted with AMG wheels — a standard 18" 5‑spoke style or two 19" multispoke options. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: A mode for every mood. It’s like setting up your car in a video game, only far more rewarding because it’s real. With a few taps of a switch on the console, AGILITY SELECT® lets you choose among five drive programs for your C ‑ Class — from ECO to Sport+. Each setup reprofiles as many as four driving systems plus two efficiency factors. One mode lets you configure each element individually. It’s almost like having 120 cars in one. In reality, it’s having one car that always feels just right. Drive decider. The five drive modes of AGILITY SELECT let you alter the car’s character with one button. Four of them are preconfigured: Comfort, ECO, Sport, and Sport+ each vary the steering, shifting and throttle response, as well as the ECO Start/Stop and climate control settings, plus the available AIRMATIC® suspension’s three modes. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Custom car. In addition to the four preconfigured drive modes of AGILITY SELECT, you can use the touchpad controller and central screen to create a mode all your own. With up to 120 combinations, the Individual mode lets you sharpen handling while optimizing fuel economy, quicken acceleration while maximizing cabin comfort, or even enjoy full manual control of the paddle-shifted 7‑speed transmission. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: C 300 Sedan shown with Black paint, and optional 18" twin 5-spoke wheels, 4matic all-wheel drive, Panorama roof, and Premium Package. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: You never saw it coming, but your car did. For more than 60 years, Mercedes-Benz engineers have been predicting the future of driving safety by inventing it. From the patent for the crumple zone in 1951 to the first stability control 20 years ago, many of their breakthroughs have gone on to become the safety standards all automobiles must meet. Today’s C ‑Class doesn’t just imagine what’s next. It actually looks ahead — and all around the car — to detect imminent danger, alert you to it, and help you respond to avoid it. Someday all cars might do this. Right now, no car in its class can help you see the future — or better yet, experience it — like a C ‑Class. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Looks out for danger, and sees you through it. Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive. With Intelligent Drive, Mercedes-Benz introduces the next generation of safer driving, and its breakthroughs are truly visionary. Multipurpose cameras, multirange radar and a multitude of sensors continually survey your surroundings. An integrated network of systems can alert you to danger from almost any direction — because they’re able to see more at once than the human eye. They can adapt the car’s speed, steering, braking and exterior lighting to rapidly changing situations — because they can multitask more effectively. And they can even take action autonomously on your behalf — to ease your journey, help protect you, and look out for others, like never before. Stereo multipurpose cameras. While you drive, a set of multitasking cameras continuously captures a rapid series of images of the environment in front of the car. High-speed algorithms help the system’s “eyes” to recognize other cars and trucks or pedestrians, and then predict their movement in six dimensions of space and time. This ongoing perception helps the various systems of Intelligent Drive respond instantly as needed, when needed. Learn more about the many safety innovations in the C‑Class at MBUSA.com/C Radar-based autonomous braking. When you’re driving above 5 mph, new COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS uses multirange radar to monitor your speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. If it senses that a collision is likely, it alerts you to brake. As soon as you do, its Adaptive Brake Assist can automatically increase braking to the ideal level.8 And in certain situations, it can apply the brakes autonomously if you do not respond to an alert. Detecting cross-traffic and pedestrians. The Driver Assistance Package includes systems that can help detect an impending collision with a vehicle or pedestrian ahead — even while you aren’t using its DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control. If the sensors of Intelligent Drive detect cross-traffic or recognize pedestrians in your path, an alert sounds. The instant you apply the brakes, it can precisely boost braking pressure to the ideal level. And if you fail to heed the alert for a stopped vehicle or a crossing pedestrian, it can automatically apply up to 100% braking force to help prevent or reduce the severity of an impact.7 Pedestrian Recognition takes action: 1. Cameras detect pedestrian crossing. 2. Audible warnings alert driver to urgently apply the brakes. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: 3. If driver brakes, BAS® PLUS instantly increases braking to level needed. 4. If driver doesn’t brake soon enough, PRE‑SAFE Brake does automatically. Please see endnotes at back of brochure. A watchful eye if it’s time for a rest. By continually monitoring a variety of driving behaviors, ATTENTION ASSIST® can alert you if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. It measures more than 70 variables, starting in the first minutes of a drive, to establish a profile for the warning thresholds. If the system issues an alert, the car’s available COMAND® navigation can offer to help find a nearby rest area.9 Multilane multitaskers. Two available systems make highway driving easier. Active Blind Spot Assist can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane.10 Active Lane Keeping Assist can vibrate the steering wheel if you start to drift across visible lane markings.9 It can even help detect a vehicle about to overtake yours in the next lane. If you disregard the alerts, both systems can gently brake selected wheels to help guide the car back into its lane. 5. Earlier or autonomous braking helps to prevent a collision or reduce its severity. Cruise control that steers and stops. Available DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control, a Mercedes-Benz first, uses radar-based technology to adapt your set speed in response to the flow of traffic ahead. It can automatically slow the vehicle — or even brake it to a halt — until your path clears, and then resume with just a tap. As you cruise, its Steering Assist feature uses the cameras to help keep you centered in your lane, even around mild curves.11 I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Brilliance without bulbs. LEDs are utilized for nearly all exterior lighting: Daytime Running Lamps, turn signals, brake lamps and taillamps. Daylightapproximating LED headlamps and fiber-optic taillamps are part of the Premium Package.5 And the Lighting Package adds active LED headlamps that swivel their beams as you steer, seamlessly vary their high beam range to vehicles ahead, and brighten your turns into dark driveways or garages. Action when danger is behind you. Part of the Driver Assistance Package, PRE-SAFE® PLUS uses radar to sense a possible rear-end collision before it occurs. If it senses you’re about to be hit from behind, it can tighten the front seat belts. If you’re already stopped, it can firmly apply the brakes to help minimize whiplash injuries. It can also hold the brakes after impact, to help prevent a secondary collision even if the driver’s foot slips off the brake. 6. With a collision averted, driver and pedestrian continue on their way. Intelligent Drive continues to look ahead. C 400 4matic Sedan shown with Cranberry Red/ Black leather, Open -pore Black Ash wood, and optional Interior and Multimedia Packages. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Fine art meets state-of-the-art. For Mercedes-Benz designers, balancing technology with tradition is a challenge to be cherished, not fought. It’s no secret that the passion for innovation has always been a pillar of the brand. But to be honest, it’s also a lot of fun to create something totally new — and not just how it looks, but in the way it connects with you. The sleek high-resolution displays are a perfect example, with animated menus that are logical and enjoyable to use. So are its aluminum-ringed vents, crafted to feel as good as the flowing wood trim looks. Beauty is in the eye, for sure. Here, it’s also in your hands. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: New sensations for all of your senses. Luxury is a long-standing tradition at Mercedes-Benz, but it’s never been caught standing still. That’s because of another tradition that runs even deeper: Innovation. Ventilated front seats, ambient cabin lighting, and the Panorama roof were all introduced under the ThreePointed Star. But Mercedes-Benz engineers strive to satisfy more than your sense of indulgence. They want to enhance your actual well-being, too. The Air Balance Package can refresh you with subtle aromatherapy as you drive. More significantly, its ionizer can purify the air of bacteria, spores and allergens so effectively, it can improve your breathing capacity. In fact, the new C is the only car in its class certified by the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation.12 True luxury should take your breath away — in the figurative sense. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: The new C-Class can also, quite literally, give it back. Eyes on the road ahead. An optional new Head-Up Display13 can project an 8"-wide high-resolution virtual image a few feet in front of the windshield. Color graphics show your speed and cruise-control settings, plus the next instruction for the available COMAND® navigation, all well within your natural field of vision. The display automatically adapts to ambient lighting conditions, but is further adjustable for brightness and height — with the position stored in the standard driver-seat memory. Stress-relieving style. Along with the supple richness of hand-fitted leather upholstery, the Interior Package includes LED ambient lighting for the cabin. First pioneered by Mercedes-Benz, the subtle glow that defines the cabin space is more than a stylish detail. Research has shown that it can elevate passengers’ sense of secure comfort when driving in darkness. In the new C‑Class, LEDs and fiber optics work in concert to highlight the flowing console and sweeping door trim with edge-lighting. You can select from three colors — warm amber Solar, cool blue Polar, or Neutral white, to suit your mood, or create one, at any time. Illuminated front door sills are included, to welcome you in or ease your exit. Comfort zones. The standard dual-zone climate control offers individual left and right settings for temperature, as well as three airflow modes — diffused for gentle flow with minimal drafts, moderate, and focused for greater air volume from the dash vents. For more consistent comfort, a solar sensor monitors the intensity and direction of sunlight on the cabin, further augmented by available GPS data to help calculate the sun’s precise position. Air quality. In addition to the standard combination filter for dust, pollen and odors, the optional Air Balance Package enhances the cabin’s air quality with three additional innovations. An ionizer uses an electrical charge to create the same refreshing effect you feel after a summer storm. Ionized oxygen molecules can deactivate many viruses, bacteria and spores, to help improve breathing. Additional activated charcoal filtration helps remove airborne pollutants. And a fragrance atomizer can periodically introduce subtle aromas into the cabin. An LED-backlit vial in the glovebox comes in a variety of scents, all formulated not to linger on clothes or the car’s interior. Sun, stars or shade. The optional power Panorama roof features a vast expanse of heat-rejecting glass. Its power sunshade can close itself to help keep the cabin cooler while you’re parked. A fine-mesh power rear-window sunshade, as well as manual pull-out sunblinds for all the rear door windows, are also available options. Preferred seating. Intuivite seat-shaped power controls make it easy to find your ideal driving position. A memory system lets you store up to three positions for the driver seat, 4‑way power steering column, and both side mirrors. Heated front seats, a C 300 option, are standard equipment on the C 400. The Interior Package adds the cooling comfort of ventilated front seats, along with soft, hand-fitted leather upholstery, and a 3‑position memory for the standard power front passenger seat. The heated power side mirrors can also be folded in electrically — at the touch of a button, or when you remote-lock the car. Their aerodynamic design also helps divert road spray from the side windows, further enhancing your outward vision I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: when you’re driving in rainy weather. Extended stay. More than three inches of additional wheelbase help make the rear cabin of the new C more inviting than ever before. Legroom, knee space, and ease of entry and exit are all significantly increased. The seatbacks fold down in a 40/20/40 split, allowing for a greater variety of cargo and passenger combos, including passing a long item through the center while two passengers ride in comfort.14 For easier access through any door, available KEYLESS‑GO® lets the driver lock and unlock the car without touching its key.5 Pushbutton KEYLESSSTART is standard, while a new package pairs a power trunklid with HANDS-FREE ACCESS — a convenience that lets you open or close the trunklid with a gentle “kick” motion under the rear bumper. Keeps you in touch, and in tune. C 300 Sedan shown with Silk Beige/Espresso Brown interior, Linden wood trim, and optional power rearwindow sunshade, and AIRMATIC, Driver Assistance, Luxury, Multimedia and Premium Packages. Please see endnotes at back of brochure. The user-friendly technology in the new C goes to great lengths to bring your world closer. It can get you to a new restaurant across town, and dodge traffic along the way. It can play music from your collection, or import it from another country. And it’ll listen, and learn how you talk. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Crisp instruments team with vividly illustrated color screens and a new touchpad controller to unify most every cockpit feature. Analog gauges flank a color multifunction display you can access from the thick 3‑spoke steering wheel. The 7" central screen presents entertainment and convenience features with clear, animated menus. Its sleek, freestanding design is at once easier to see and to see around. A classic analog clock is included with any of the wood trim options. Standard audio gear includes Bluetooth® audio streaming,15 dual USB ports, an SD card reader, and FrontBass,® which creates bass enclosures from the car’s front body structure. The Premium Package5 adds SiriusXM Radio with a 6‑month All Access plan trial,16 and a 13‑speaker, 590‑watt surround sound system crafted by Germany’s Burmester.® A 10GB Music Register is in the Multimedia Package. And TuneIn® world radio is one of many Mercedes-Benz mbrace17 apps. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Navigation18 options include the new Garmin® MAP PILOT — a feature-rich system that fits on an SD card — or the COMAND® system. Part of the Multimedia Package, it adds a large 8.4" screen, and features a fast 80GB hard drive, 3D maps with building profiles, three years of map updates, and three years of SiriusXM Traffic and Weather.16 The Cloud-based apps of mbrace® bring the Internet to your dash, with Google,® Yelp and other useful tools. It also makes the car a WiFi hotspot. Rotary controller. COMAND’s clear, animated on‑screen menus feature an intuitive “carousel” layout. Turn the knob, and your selection options rotate exactly the same way, with tactile “clicks” adapting to the number of items in each menu. Touchpad. The new fingertip interface responds much like the tablet you use at home, but is easy to master by feel alone. You can swipe left–right or up–down to navigate maps and menus, and pinch to zoom on a map. You can even handwrite letters and numbers on it, with each one shown on‑screen and confirmed by the system out loud. Drive modes. An intuitive paddle switch lets you sequence through the modes of AGILITY SELECT.® Nearby buttons can raise the ride height for the available AIRMATIC® suspension, and operate the power rear-window sunshade. A button on the right turns the ECO Start/Stop system off or on. Quick-access keys. Three keys on the touchpad let you call up the main audio menu, go back one step, or access your programmable favorites. For greater ease and comfort, the Back and Favorite keys are duplicated near the rotary controller. I nf or mat i onPr ovi dedby: Volume and mute. A thumbwheel control lets the driver or front passenger adjust the volume of whatever mode is in use — audio, a phone call, or a navigation announcement. Push down on the thumbwheel to mute the sound, or to shut off the microphone during a call. The driver can also do all of this from the multifunction steering wheel. Easy to reach, simple to grasp. The new touchpad central controller brings the best features of a touchscreen to a convenient console location where your hand falls naturally. It responds to fingertip gestures using one or two fingers, and even recognizes handwriting. In addition, a rotary controller and dedicated keys offer you multiple input options — so you can use whichever method you prefer for many functions.
