The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has its place in the premium compact segment.
In 2014, the station-wagon version of the W205 C-Class model was launched. And it changed perspectives.
The T-Model version had a long history in the Mercedes-Benz models lineup and the C-Class always had a station-wagon variant, and the 2014 model was the third generation of it. Mercedes-Benz’s idea was to give the car a sporty look.
It had the same lines as the sedan, up to the B-pillar, and the same front fascia. The longer roof had roof-rails on top and a spoiler on top of the liftgate, which could be opened electrically via a foot-swipe move under the rear bumper. As an option, a panoramic glass-roof was available.
When compared to its predecessor, it had a bigger longer wheelbase by 80 mm (3.14”), which lead to bigger legroom for the rear passengers. The total trunk space reached 490 liters (17.3 cu-ft) of space that could be extended up to 1510 liters (53.3 cu-ft). The sloped rear end made the car look sportier, despite its family-look. The rear seats could have been folded in a split 40-20-40 ratio, unlike the 40-60 as the previous generation. The rear passenger head-room in the back was bigger than in the sedan version.
The estate version was available with a choice of gasoline or diesel engines, with an automatic or manual transmission, with rear or all-wheel-drive.
