Mercedes-Benz has grasped the timing of the renewal of its models at the right time: after the flagship S-Class was unveiled last year, the new design language began to be gradually implemented downwards. For example, the new C-Class just unveiled, people would call it “Little S”. So in addition to the appearance of the new C-class, is it in line with the big brother in other aspects? Let's find out today.

The C-Class has been the world’s best-selling model for Mercedes-Benz in the past 10 years. In terms of exterior design, the new generation of models still has the typical “Benz features”-short front overhang and long rear overhang. The new C-class car still has dynamic body proportions.

Although the new C-Class has larger external dimensions, it still has the good drag coefficient of the previous model, with Cd 0.24 for the four-door sedan and Cd 0.27 for the Estate wagon.

In order to make the new C-class side light and shadow display more detailed, when the Germans took the above W206 official makeup photo, the editor found that they used Phase One's XF IQ3 100MP, which has 100 million pixels. Camera system. Of course, there is nothing wrong with using this set of equipment as a commercial photography, but it also shows the Germans' pursuit of details from another aspect.

Friends who like station wagons must know that BBA has different names for station wagons. BMW likes to use “Wagon”, Audi likes to use “Avent”, and Mercedes-Benz is “Estate”. However, at the launch of the new C-class, Mercedes-Benz used the words “C-Class Wagon”. However, in the official news naming, it is still “Estate”. I don't know if this is a small “mistake” by the rigorous German.

In the past, “Light Factory” has always been synonymous with Audi, but now Mercedes-Benz seems to be able to match this name. In addition to the standard LED headlights on the new C-class, DIGITAL LIGHT system derived from the new S-class sedan is also optional.

With DIGITAL LIGHT headlights, the on-board camera and sensor system can monitor other road users, evaluate data and digital navigation maps within a few milliseconds, and provide commands for the headlights, so that the vehicle has the best light distribution under any circumstances.

Compared to the exterior design of the vehicle, the changes in the interior of the new C-Class may be even more exciting, because the interior design inherited from the new S-Class allows the new C-Class to enter the digital age.

Carrying all this is the second-generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system. Of course, you must have seen this system on the new S-class. However, in terms of size, the two are still different. Except for the lowest configuration, the new S-class is 12.8 inches, while the new C-class will be smaller, and the lower configuration is “only” 9.5 inches, and the frame will be wider. At this point, it can still show that the “status” of the two is different.

For this large screen, many people are worried about the convenience of operation. In fact, this system prefers users to use voice interaction while driving.

At the same time, the activation of some functions does not require the wake-up word “Hello, Mercedes-Benz”. For example, you can answer the call by simply saying “Answer the phone”, making the application faster. “Real-time navigation” can superimpose virtual signs and road information with the actual road environment and present them on the central control screen, making navigation easier and more accurate, especially in complex road conditions in cities. In addition, the MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system can also be upgraded online through OTA.

At the same time, the new MBUX also integrates smart home functions, which can remotely operate smart devices in the home, making the new C-class car a mobile control center for the family.

The MBUX smart home function will support many devices, and the corresponding contracts have been signed with Bosch Smart Home and Samsung SmartThings, and more providers will join them later.(Read more: mobil sirion)
