Another week, another enlightening group of photos of the next generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which seems unable to…keep its clothes on. This time, our spy photographers encountered the station wagon version of the series, just as Benz’s people were trying to put the covers on an undisguised model.
While the new C-Class Wagon, otherwise known as the T-Model and Estate, will continue to place the emphasis on space and practicality, it seems Merc’s designers have tried to cover up the additional body panels in a more styling fashion compared to the current model, with a sharper looking profile window line and rear end.
Speaking of interior room, the new C-Class Wagon’s longer wheelbase with a corresponding increase in length, along with the wider tracks of the new MRA platform architecture, will offer better passenger accommodation and luggage volume over the model it replaces. The increased exterior dimensions won’t come with a weight penalty. In fact, Mercedes has said that the use of lighter materials will allow all models of the next W205 C-Class to be lighter than their predecessors.
In the markets that Mercedes will offer the C-Class Wagon, the engine range will mirror that of the sedan model with both petrol and diesel units.
