Overview
THE C-Class has been a dominant force for many years, not just as the biggest-selling model in the Mercedes range, but the most successful luxury car in Australian motoring history.
But times are changing. The SUV revolution is upon us, and C-Class sales have dropped significantly this year to the point where, for the first time since launching here a quarter of a century ago, the popular mid-size prestige car is no longer number one in the Mercedes range.
Which brings us to this update.
Applying to the full range spanning sedan, wagon, coupe and cabriolet models, the overhaul is billed as the most extensive in C-Class history, with more than 6500 new or modified parts – nearly half of the total component set.
And it’s clearly just what the doctor ordered – nothing less than a huge dose of Vitamin C.
