Mercedes-Benz are delighted to announce that the new C-Class has arrived in Irish Mercedes-Benz showrooms.

Accounting for one in every five Mercedes-Benz cars sold in Ireland, the C-Class is available in four petrol and five diesel versions in a choice of three design and equipment lines - Avantgarde with grille-inset star aimed at younger buyers, Exclusive with a distinctive bonnet-mounted star aimed at the more conventional buyer and an AMG line aimed at the sporty buyer - at prices from €37,750 (ex works) for petrol models and €37,950 for diesel models.

S-Class like in appearance, it is larger and more spacious than before and comes with an array of high-tech communications and safety features.

Speaking at its launch earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz sales manager Ciaran Allen said: "With its new looks, keen pricing and well-appointed features, we expect the C-Class to be a very competitive model offering in the mid-range luxury segment. It will be marketed on the three platforms of design and appointments, technical innovation & performance and a highly-competitive
specifications-to-value offering."
