Then you have the icing on the cake. Mercedes Benz never ending list of exemplary safety features ensuring you all arrive home safely. The new bodyshell sees a 12 per cent increase in torsional stiffness, has four independently acting impact levels that enables forces to be distributed over a wide area and special struts in the wheel arches that prevents the passenger cell from dropping during a collision. Then there are deformation zones under the bonnet, multiple restraint systems including Neck-Pro head restraints that move upwards and forwards to cushion the heads of the front passengers while the two outer seats come with ISOFIX mountings. Airbags come in the shape of driver, passenger, side front, window and drivers knee with the optional side airbags in the rear.
Not hat this should be needed as the C-Class is fitted as standard with ABS, Brake Assist, ESP and Skid Control. However if an accident is imminent you can always rely on Pre-Safe that prepares the vehicle and occupants for a collision. If it detects emergency or panic braking, Pre-Safe will tighten the seatbelts, adjust the front passenger seat, corrects the backrest and seatbelts thus reducing the loads exerted on the passengers upon impact. Securing the C-Class is an alarm with immobiliser, deadlocks plus remote central locking.
So now we can all travel in style. That will annoy our overseas neighbours.
Happy Holidays
