Building on the already impressive specification of the SE, the C-Class Executive SE features an array of additional equipment as standard. Styling enhancements include the eye-catching Sport grille and chrome trim on the boot lid and tailpipe. Other highlights include exclusive 16” alloy wheels and the COMAND multimedia system with hard-disk navigation.

Engines include one petrol unit, the C 180 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY, and two diesels, the C 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and C 220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. Each delivers superb economy without compromising performance or driving pleasure. The diesel unit, for example, achieves up to 58.9 mpg with CO2 emissions as low as 127 g/km yet still does 0-62 mph in only 8.4 seconds.

As with all C-Class models, you’ll also benefit from exceptional levels of comfort and safety. What’s more, in choosing the Executive SE you’ll enjoy savings of over £2,200 compared to purchasing the equipment separately.
