Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon boot space, practicality and safety
2000 - 2007
(change model)
The C-Class has a decent score in official crash tests and comes with plenty of safety kit as standard. However, you’d pay extra for rear side airbags and Isofix child seat mounting points. Other safety features available include a fire extinguisher and since 2004 tyre pressure sensors.
A boot capacity of 455 litres is decent for Mercedes-Benz’s most compact saloon. The cabin also has a few extra storage areas. However, split/folding rear sears are an optional extra.
