Seven years in the making, the new C-Class will not only meet your needs, it promises to exceed your expectations. Available in two distinct models-sport and luxury- the C-Class boasts a wider and lower stance for superior aerodynamics, and new engineering standards for an entire industry, representing the best in ergonomic design. The exterior of the C-Class sedan is designed with an aggressive flair. Sport elements include a sport front air dam with mesh air intakes, side skirts, and rear apron. Up front, the three-pointed star sits boldly in the grille, while dual exhausts with polished chrome tips and a sport trunk lid spoiler complete the look. Inside the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class technology is abundant. While a 5” color-LCD display with flip cover comes standard in the C-Class, there’s also the optional Cockpit Management and Data (COMAND) system. Featuring a 40-gigabyte hard drive and a 7” high-resolution color-LCD screen that retracts at the touch of a button, this system offers CD ripping and a Navigation System that stores maps of North America and Points interest Simply say or enter your destination and the system will show you directions and points of interest along the way. The C-Class seating offers class leading features like iconic seating-shaped controls that help you easily find your ideal seating position in the front row. As an extra benefit, the driver and front passenger seats provide lumbar support for your lower back, making long drives as comfortable as short ones. Both the driver and front passenger can select his or her level of heating or cooling thanks to left and right controls on the dashboard. In addition to a sun sensor for mitigating hot temperatures, the system comes equipped with a charcoal filter that, when activated automatically recalculates interior air upon detecting a significant increase in smog.
In the C-Class, a wide range of precision safety elements work together to help protect you and your passengers in the event of a collision. Raising the bar for the industry, the body consists of about 50 percent High-Strength/Low Alloy and 20 percent Ultra-High Strength/Low Alloy steel for an exceptionally rigid barrier. Moreover advanced front and rear crumple zones deform progressively to help absorb the energy of an impact. A front bulkhead also helps channel some of the forces of a frontal impact, under, over and around the cabin. In case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, the Active Front Head Restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head retrain and the front seat occupants’ heads. This action helps limit the rearward travel of their heads, thus reducing the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.
