The name, Mercedes Benz, is synonymous with elegance and reliability and the new C-Class Estate from the same family is no different.

But these have been judiciously combined with a degree of flexibility along with space increase and provides the passengers a much more easy and relaxed ride.
With engines ranging from five petrol versions and three diesel ones, the C-Class Estate comes in both six-speed manual as well as six/seven-speed automatic models. The combined fuel capacity of 38.7 mpg results in the vehicle taking just 8.2 seconds to reach the 0-62 mph mark. The new model also comprises of self levelling air suspension at the back that gives it much steadiness and gravity.
All models have Sensotronic Brake Control, an electro-hydraulic braking system fitted in them, which judges emergency situations through sensors and applies force automatically to each of the wheels to stop the vehicle safely. Other innovative features like the PRE SAFE, the Intelligent Light System, seven airbags, crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraints, belt force limiters etc are included as part of the standard equipment. These features make the Mercedes C Class an excellent Used car buy!
