The new C-Class heralds a new chapter in the Mercedes-Benz success story and sets new standards in the premium medium-size category.
It is the benchmark in weight saving, aerodynamics and noise levels.
It also has the best ratings in safety.
Mr Nouhad Kalmoni, the CEO of Silver Star Auto, the authorised distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Ghana, said this at the launch of a new range of C, A and S classes of Mercedes in Accra.
He said on a visual level, the new C-Class was a bold departure from its predecessor.
He said its striking and dynamic design exuded sensuality and aroused the emotions and that the hallmark proportions of the Mercedes saloon were seen in the long bonnet, the far-sitting passenger compartment and the short overhangs.
From the sides, dropping lines also highlighted a typical Mercedes-Benz signature, he added.
“As has become the trend, the new C-Class offers two different front-end designs: the bold sports grille with the central star for the Avant garde and Standard design line and the classic radiator grille with the star atop the bonnet for the Exclusive design line. These front-end designs demonstrate the effortless superiority of the Mercedes-Benz design,” Mr Kalmoni explained.
He said the rear design emphasised width and its powerful shoulders gave the C-Class another striking athletic appearance.
“Rear light design is distinctive and gives the car an unmistakable identity in the dark,” he added.
Mr Kalmoni said the interior design of the C-Class was on a level that could be found in higher vehicle categories, noting that that applied to the carefully chosen high-class materials and precision of the finely-crafted details.
“In fact, when passengers settle into their seats in the new C-Class, they will experience an uplifting experience, like being upgraded from Economy to Business class in an airliner,” he said. GB
