Silver Star unveils new C-Class Mercedes-Benz

The new C-Class heralds a new chapter in the Mercedes-Benz success story and sets new standards in the premium medium-size category.

It is the benchmark in weight saving, aerodynamics and noise levels. It also has the best ratings in safety.

Nouhad Kalmoni, CEO, Silver Star Auto, authorised distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Ghana, said this at the launch of a new range of C, A and S classes of Mercedes.

He said on a visual level, the new C-Class is a bold departure from its predecessor. Its striking and dynamic design clearly exudes sensuality and arouses the emotions. 

The hallmark proportions of the Mercedes saloon are seen in the long bonnet, the far-sitting passenger compartment and the short overhangs. From the sides, dropping lines also highlight a typical Mercedes-Benz signature. 

“As has become the trend; the new C-Class offers two different front-end designs: the bold sports grille with the central star for the Avantgarde and Standard design line, and the classic radiator grille with the star atop the bonnet for the Exclusive design line. These front-end designs demonstrate the effortless superiority of the Mercedes-Benz design,” Mr. Kalmoni explained.

He said rear design emphasises width and its powerful shoulders give the C-Class another striking athletic appearance. Rear light design is distinctive and gives the car and unmistakable identity in the dark.

Mr. Kalmoni said the Interior design in the C-Class is on a level that can be found in higher vehicle categories. This applies to the carefully chosen high-class materials and precision of the finely-crafted details. In fact, when passengers settle into their seats in the new C-Class they will experience an uplifting experience…like being upgraded from economy to business class in an airliner.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart-based Mercedes-Benz sold more cars than ever before in 2014. The brand with the star delivered 1,650,010 vehicles to customers -- representing a 12.9% increase and achieving the fourth record year in a row.

Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management, Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, said the automobile giant is on a course of success.
