Officially Official: 2008 Mercedes C-Class Estate revealed

August 31st, 2007

Mercedes-Benz today unveiled the new estate version of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate holds a larger load capacity than any other luxury estate in its class, holding a maximum 1,500 liters.

The new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate C 200 CDI gets a fuel-economy of 47mpg while a single tank of fuel lasts over 621 miles.

Mercedes has introduces a new feature called EASY-PACK that allows the tailgate to open and close by the push of a button, a first in this segment. Finally, the optional EASY-PACK load-securing kit presents drivers with even more possibilities for both partitioning the load compartment — that measures around 1.80 meters long and up to 1.20 meters wide — and for securing the load being carried.

Mercedes will debut that 2008 C-Class Estate at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September where it will go on sale at dealerships right after.

I like it I like it very much, I think (well all full sized station wagons) its a good alternative to SUV's. ( I hate crossovers with a passion).

VERY nice . If I was in the market for a luxury wagon, then this would be my first choice. It would also come down to choosing between the IS and the new C Class were I looking for a an entry-lux sedan.

hmm I honestly dont think a new IS wagon would look good. It doesnt fit the style.

Nothing surprising but it sure looks good. And a panoramic roof for a wagon? Craziness.
