Seduction of the heart and mind: New C-Class Coupé can be ordered now

Stuttgart – Athletic and sporty, the vivid, sensual design of the new C-Class Coupé cuts a fine figure on the

road and embodies modern luxury. At the same time, its interior raises elegance and style to a sporty level. A

dynamically configured chassis, with optional air suspension, forms the basis for a high level of suspension

comfort, low road roar and tyre vibration, agile handling, and driving pleasure. Lightweight construction to

reduce weight, excellent aerodynamics and high-performance, efficient engines likewise play their part. New

assistance systems provide safety of the very highest calibre. The new C-Class Coupé can be ordered now at

prices starting from €35,581 (including 19% VAT). The first models will reach dealerships in December 2015.

As the sportiest variant of the C-Class, the Coupé displays its driving enjoyment-oriented character in an emotive and

at the same time formally distinct design. A sportily striking front section featuring diamond radiator grille and long

bonnet gives way to a low greenhouse whose lines flow into a bold and powerful-looking rear end. A high beltline and

frameless doors with free-standing exterior mirrors underscore the sporty character. As does the suspension, which is

15 millimetres lower than that of the Saloon and features 17-inch tyres as standard.

Inside the car, driver and passengers enjoy an ambience that leans toward the interior of the C-Class Saloon yet

raises it to a new, sporty level. The choice of materials and the finish have a hand-crafted feel with high-class appeal

and deliver a new take on modern luxury: sportiness without compromising on comfort and exquisite style.
