Designed to score a five-star crash test result, the highly rigid new chassis contains frontal crash boxes that absorb the energy from impacts up to 15km/h, with the bumpers themselves designed to absorb impacts of up to 4km/h. Borrowed from the S-class, adaptive two-stage front airbags also take into account the needs of low-impact crashes, and combine with four side airbags and two full-length windowbags to total eight airbags. Of course, all five seating positions offer three-point seatbelts, each with height/tilt adjustable head restraints, all but the centre rear comprising belt force limiters and the front units with manual anchor point height adjustment. Active safety features include standard ABS, ESP stability control and Brake Assist. After an accident, the doors are automatically unlocked and the hazard lights switched on. The parking brake remains a foot operated system. Did you know?The C-class has a 25mm-shorter wheelbase than its predecessor, as well as a wider track front and rear, meaning there's more head and shoulder room insideAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
