Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse Polizei Thüringen

Unter der Bezeichnung Mercedes-Benz Baureihe 204 wird die aktuelle Baureihe des Mittelklassemodells C-Klasse von Mercedes-Benz werksintern geführt. Sie ersetzt die seit März 2000 gebaute C-Klasse der Baureihe 203. Am 18. Januar 2007 wurde die Limousine (W 204) in Stuttgart im Mercedes-Benz Museum erstmals der Presse vorgestellt und ist seit März 2007 im Handel. Weltpremiere feierte der W 204 auf dem Genfer Auto-Salon.

 

Im Dezember 2007 kam der Kombi (T-Modell) auf den Markt. Ein Coupé, das die CLC-Klasse ablöste, folgte im Juni 2011.

 

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a compact executive car produced by Mercedes-Benz. Introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 190 (W201) range, the C-Class was the smallest model in the marque's lineup until the arrival of the A-Class in 1997. The C-Class is built at Mercedes-Benz factories in Sindelfingen and Bremen, Germany as well as numerous satellite factories in other countries. The very first C-Class (W202) sedan was produced on 1 June 1993, and the first second generation (W203) rolled off the assembly line on July 18, 2000. The most recent third generation (W204) launched in 2007.

 

DaimlerChrysler introduced a new generation of the C-Class on January 18, 2007 and displayed it in the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. Sales started on March 31, 2007 in almost all European countries. The new vehicle has an extended wheelbase and tracks, a stiffer bodyshell and a design inspired by the most recent S-Class and some hints from the CLS-Class.

 

In the summer of 2003, the development of the W204 C-Class involved the use of a final design "digital prototype", which put a 2.1 terabyte digital replica of the car through a 15 million mile road course. This is an industry first which allowed for crash testing and more, before a physical prototype was actually constructed. The design of W204 was frozen in 2003 and German design patents were first filed on September 9, 2004, showcasing a W204 prototype.

 

The W204 C-Class is the second best-selling entry-level luxury car in Canada and the United States, after the E90 BMW 3 Series and is the most popular mid-priced sedan in Mexico.
