Mercedes Benz MB W205 C-Class

The Mercedes Benz MB W205 is the current series of the middle-class model C-Class from Mercedes Benz. Since March 15, 2014, it replaces the C-Class of the series W204 built between March 2007 and May 2014.

The body weight of the W205 is reduced by 70 kg. Most of the exterior visible body panels are made of aluminum. Another part of the total weight loss of 100 kg is achieved by a smaller tank. This contains a standard 41 liters including reserve and thus 18 liters less than the previous one. A larger fuel tank with 66 liters including reserve is available on request.

In addition this model is the first Mercedes Benz to receive a touchpad for infotainment control and a head-up display. Through the touchpad, letters and numbers can be entered as with competitors' pads. The multimedia system can also be operated with the touchpad, but there is still a turn-knob adjuster available.

In the standard version, the Mercedes Benz star is no longer mounted on the bonnet, but rather recessed in the radiator grille. Black and white is available as a standard Uni varnish. The headlamps are designed in halogen technology, but have LED daytime running lights. The rear lights consist exclusively of LED lights.

Other standard features on all models include an automatic climate control, a leather tri-spoke multifunction steering wheel and the Audio 20 USB audio system with a seven-inch color display. The safety equipment includes ABS, ESP, various airbags - including a knee airbag for the driver - and the collision warning system Collision Prevention Assist Plus.

• Series production of the saloon began on 4 February 2014.
  
  
• The station wagon (T-model) was first presented on 23 May 2014 in the Bremen production plant, the market launch took place in September of the same year.

  Combined vehicles are referred to as "T-model" at Mercedes Benz, for tourism and transport. The internal designation of the T-models always begins with the abbreviation S before the serial number (eg S205). This is derived from the internal name "station wagon".

• At the International Motor Show (IAA) in September 2015, the coupe was premiered, which has been delivered since December.

• On February 29, 2016, the Cabriolet version was presented at the Geneva Motor Show.
