In a bid to move the C-Class a bit up-scale, Mercedes-Benz has launched a new Special Edition trim line. Available on sedan and wagon body styles, the Special Edition trim line adds up-scale touches to both the exterior and interior of the C-Class.
The exterior of the Special Edition C-Class features polished aluminum body accents, a grille-mounted Mercedes star, chrome bumper highlights, darkened headlights, and unique gray paint job, and five-spoke 17-inch wheels.
The Special Edition’s interior is also spruced up beyond that of the standard car, but is based on the Avantgarde trim line. Changes include sports seats with a beige trim used throughout the cabin. Aluminum accents abound and the Special Edition package also adds a multi-function steering wheel and 4.5 inch display mounted in the gauge cluster.
Adaptive suspension and brakes, bi-xenon headlights and Parktronic parking assist are also included in the Special Edition package.
Depending on engine options, the Special Edition trim will add between €2,689 and €3,879 to the price of a C-Class. As of now the Special Edition package is only available in Europe, but could surface in the North American market.
