The first long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz C-Class has rolled off its production line in China.
The model, which will be launched in China starting this September, is an important addition to Mercedes-Benz's portfolio and marks another key milestone in Daimler’s China strategy.
"The C-Class is at the core of our development in China. With more than 150,000 vehicles of the predecessor model delivered to customers, China has already become the second-largest market for the C-Class," said Hubertus Troska, member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG responsible for China. "Now we are taking the next step: designed and developed for China, produced exclusively in China, our all-new long-wheelbase C-Class is destined to become one of our top growth drivers here."
As a reminder, the C-Class L measures 4,766 mm and has a wheelbase that is an extra 80 mm long. It offers its passengers the highest level of comfort with maximized backseat legroom. For even more comfort, the front row passenger seat can be adjusted by passengers sitting in the back seat.
Under the hood, the long-wheelbase C-Class can be equipped with a variety of engines which have outputs ranging from 156 hp to 367 hp.
