New C Klass

Klass is in session Kids. That old German Mark called Mercedes Benz, has been going through some slow design improvements. I am happy to say the New C Class is a very well executed.

Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-Sketch

Mercedes-Benz-C-Class

The main design elements that define the exterior style of the new C-Class are the striking front end with its wide, steeply angled radiator grille; the side aspect, with an interplay between surfaces; and lines and the short rear end with its athletic lines.

The sporty aspect of the new C-Class is enhanced by the body proportions, with 55 millimetres more length than the preceding model, as well as the wider track, large wheel arches and prominent wings, which intentionally appear more tailored to the body contours and therefore arch over the wheels like the toned muscles of a high-performance athlete.

“In 2005 Mercedes-Benz introduced a new design idiom with a focus on clarity of expression: the designers were guided by the principles of purism, which were interpreted in keeping with the times.”
