The C-Class Standard conveys a sense of power and agility with the wide radiator grille with its three bright silver louvres, distinctive chrome strips and the dominant star set in the centre. Fine chrome defines the top of the window areas and three black louvres add emphasis to the front air intakes. The fog lamps also have black surrounds. The colour concept continues at the rear with the wide matt black handle strip. 17-inch 5-spoke light-alloy wheels are fitted as standard.

The interior, too, retains its classic feel, finished either in black or reef grey. Fine piano-lacquer trim elements are supplemented with high-quality chrome details. Along with a leather steering wheel, the seats are upholstered in black or reef grey ARTICO man-made leather.
