One look at the exterior of the C-Class Estate 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 star standing above it on the bonnet. Fine chrome defines the top of the window areas and three black louvres add emphasis to the front air intakes. The fog lamps also have black surrounds. The color concept continues through the black roof rails and then back to the rear with the wide matt black handle strip. From the C 200 KOMPRESSOR upwards, eye-catching light-alloy wheels are also fitted as standard.

The interior, too, retains its classic feel, finished either in black or reef grey. Burr walnut trim elements are supplemented with high-quality details. The trim elements are also available in fine piano-lacquer as an option. The seats are upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather, and are defined with large fabric patches featuring horizontal seamlines.
