Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate: The new Estate was developed under real-life conditions. A computer simulation made it possible to undertake digital „shopping trips“ even at a time when there was still no road-going prototype available. The computer contains a shopping basket with hundreds of different articles that can be loaded into the vehicle, as it were, at the click of a mouse.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate: The 1/3 : 2/3 split rear seat backrest allows the interior compartment of the new Estate to be quickly and easily adapted to accommodate the load to be transported.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate: Further evidence of the Mercedes engineers‘ love of detail is furnished by the loading hooks that are provided in both side wall linings of the load compartment. Once they have been extended by lightly tapping on them, these loading hooks can be used to secure handbags or shopping bags. Underneath the loading floor, the Estate offers an additional large stowage compartment in the form of the spare tyre well. This provides space for the standard-equipment shopping box, which can be securely stowed there even when open and loaded.
