From a lapse in concentration to poor visibility, it doesn’t take much to cause an accident. The new C-Class Estate features an assortment of safety systems to promote relaxed motoring and help you bring critical situations under control.

Take the intuitive, ergonomic centre console controller, which puts entertainment and communications within easy reach – so you can focus on the road. The Linguatronic voice control system (standard in conjunction with satellite navigation) offers similar benefits, as does Bluetooth® connectivity, fitted as standard on all models for safe hands-free telephony.

The new C-Class Estate also features numerous electronic support systems. Some are designed to alert you in the event of a problem – the tyre pressure loss warning system, for example. Others provide active assistance, such as the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and Brake Assist (BAS). These can detect hazardous driving situations – such as pronounced oversteer or emergency braking – and assist the driver accordingly.
