New generation Mercedes C-Class priced from 1.389 billion VND

The German car company has brought the all-new 5th generation of the C-Class to Vietnam with many important upgrades. The three versions of the car have a starting price of 1.389 billion VND.

The new generation C-Class continues to be assembled domestically and is a product exclusively for the Vietnamese market - a move that demonstrates the long-term investment commitment of the luxury car brand Mercedes. On the morning of November 1, three versions of the C-Class were announced: C 200; C 250 Exclusive and C 250 AMG with prices of VND 1.389 billion; VND 1.559 billion and VND 1.669 billion, respectively.

Three new C-Class versions launched in Hanoi

The new generation C-Class (W205) marks a clear redefinition of the Mercedes sedan segment. No longer considered a 'baby-benz', the new C-Class is promoted to a higher level, leaving its old position to the CLA line.

Specifically, the wheelbase and base width of the new C-Class are considered by Mercedes to be the largest compared to competitors in the same segment. Compared to the previous generation, the wheelbase of the new C-Class reaches 2,840mm (an increase of 80mm). The base width is 1,588mm (an increase of 36mm). For the E-Class line in the upper segment, the wheelbase of the new C-Class is only 34mm shorter and the base width is 26mm smaller. Thanks to the increase in size, the interior space of the C-Class promises to bring back the Mercedes style - for the rear passengers.

Despite its increased size, the C-Class is 50 to 100kg lighter than the previous version thanks to the solution of increasing aluminum material in the body structure, along with the use of high-strength steel.

The exterior design of the new C-Class is almost identical to the S-Class, so users have to be very observant to notice the differences. "Sensual Purity" - sensual purity is the contemporary design language of Mercedes, perfectly applied on the new generation C-Class. The intelligent full LED headlight cluster is standard on all versions with the function of automatically expanding the beam angle when cornering and automatically adjusting the high beam angle. LED daytime running lights, rear lights and turn signals.

Standard C 200 car version.

The C 250 Exclusive version is positioned as luxurious and elegant, using a traditional radiator grille with three bars and the Mercedes brand star on the hood. The standard C 200 and C 250 AMG versions represent the owner's personality and youthful style, with a radiator grille with a large three-pointed star logo in the middle. The drag coefficient on the new C-Class reaches 0.26 (Cd), which is comparable to the 0.24 of the S-Class, 0.26 of the Nissan GTR or 0.36 of the Bugatti Veyron. The lower the drag coefficient, the more optimized the fuel consumption and speed will be.

The interior space of the new C-Class has also been changed almost completely. The design of the dashboard and door panels are smooth and seamless curves, making the interior space more comfortable and creating a more spacious feeling. The three versions have three different interior styles according to the way Mercedes positions its customers in Vietnam.

The interior amenities of the C-Class are a huge step forward. The famous 13-speaker, 590-watt Burmester surround sound system is standard. The interior lighting system is optional with 3 colors. The navigation system and GPS integrated with 3D maps in Vietnam are controlled via the touchpad on the center console, displayed via a 7-inch or 8.4-inch tablet-style HD screen. Push-button start with the Eco Start/Stop function automatically turns off the engine when the car is stopped...

The automatic air conditioning system inside the C-Class is described as being able to optimize in all climate conditions by collecting and analyzing data from the central processor via the GPS system. The smart air conditioning system also integrates an air balancing function with a high-quality filter, oxygen ionization with the option of 1 of 4 perfume scents exclusively prepared for Mercedes by fragrance expert Marc vom Ende...

All three versions of the new generation C-Class are equipped with a naturally aspirated M274 engine, four cylinders in line with a capacity of 2.0 liters. Torque is transmitted to the rear-wheel drive system by a 7-speed automatic transmission (7G-Tronic). The standard C 200 has a maximum capacity of 184 horsepower at 5,500 rpm. Maximum torque reaches 300Nm at 1,200 rpm. The car accelerates from 0-100km/h in 7.3 seconds.

The C 250 and C 250 AMG have an engine with a capacity of 211 horsepower at 5,500 rpm. Maximum torque of 350Nm at a rpm range of 1,200 - 4,000 rpm. Acceleration from 0-100km/h in 6.6 seconds.

In addition, the new C-Class is equipped with an automatic parking assist system (Active parking assist) integrated with a rear camera with sensors around the body. A distraction warning system called Attention assist. Steering compensation system when cornering at high speed. Electronic handbrake with hill start assist, front and side airbags, driver's knee bag, curtain airbags... are standard equipment.

The C-Class is one of the best-selling models of the Mercedes brand with cumulative sales of more than 8 million vehicles worldwide, since its inception in 1982. After 19 years in the Vietnamese market, the C-Class line has sold more than 6,000 vehicles.
