One look at the exterior of the standard C-Class is enough to confirm that it has all the typical Mercedes-Benz characteristics. The chromed radiator grille is embellished with the laurel wreath badge with the hallmark star standing above it on the bonnet. Fine chrome defines the top of the window areas and black diamond-lattice grilles add emphasis to the front air intakes.

The first time you set eyes on the C-Class ELEGANCE is a special moment. The bumpers, wings and doors feature additional elegant chrome details. The polished aluminium waistline trim strip adds a stylish highlight to the side lines of the C-Class.

An avant-gardist stands out from the crowd – and the C-Class AVANTGARDE is no exception. The front conveys a sense of power and agility, with its wide radiator grille and brilliant silver louvres, distinctive chrome strips and the Mercedes Star in the centre.

A chrome strip goes around the entire vehicle body, emphasising the sleek lines of the C-Class. Eye-catching touches include the polished aluminium waistline trim strip, high-gloss curved chrome trim at the sides.
