One look at the exterior of the standard C-Class is enough to confirm that it has all the typical Mercedes-Benz characteristics: the chromed radiator grille is embellished with the laurel wreath badge with the hallmark star standing above it on the bonnet. Fine chrome defines the top of the window areas and three black louvres add emphasis to the front air intakes. The fog lamps also have black surrounds. The colour concept continues at the rear with the wide matt black handle strip.
The interior, too, retains its classic feel, finished either in black or alpaca grey.The trim elements are available in burr walnut. The seats are upholstered in black, alpaca grey, black/beige in ARTICO man-made leather.
