The
new C-Class is set to be among the best-equipped cars in its class. Standard
equipment fitted to every new C-Class will include an advanced and intuitive
touchpad to control the entertainment functions via the centrally-mounted
seven-inch colour display. Enhancing comfort, Artico upholstery will be fitted
as standard along with two-zone air conditioning and a media interface located
in the central storage between the
front
seats.
Practical
technologies are also fitted as standard - with a reversing camera, rain
sensing wipers, Attention Assist, Speedtronic cruise control, heated windscreen
wiper washers, a tyre pressure monitoring system and Collision Prevention
Assist Plus all appearing on the new C-Class.
The
comfort and safety systems are joined by the Agility Select system - a rocker
switch allowing the driver to choose between Comfort, Eco, Sport, Sport+ and
Individual modes (the latter allowing a bespoke setup) each affecting the
vehicle’s behaviour. In Eco mode, for example, the car will be set-up to be as
efficient as possible, lowering the shift point of the gear changes, softening
the throttle response and even reducing power to the heated seats and rear
window and the air conditioning system to focus on economy.
