Design work commenced in mid-1994, with the final design being approved in December 1995 by the executive board. In 1994, development began on the W203 C-Class. Styling themes were carried over from the previous W201 series, but the new series had a smoother and rounder design than the last generation of compact Mercedes, with styling cues from the W124 E-Class (short, high trunk and taller tail lights), W140 S-Class (front end), and R129 SL-Class (headlights).ĭuring the 19 Formula 1 season, the C36 AMG served as the sport's Safety Car. The C-Class sedan was the company's entry-level model up until 1997 when Mercedes launched the A-Class. The first C-Class (W202) sedan was manufactured on 1 June 1993. In May 1993, the first generation W202 C-Class was introduced as a replacement for the 190.

Rough prototypes went into testing in 1989, with first production design prototypes commencing trial in 1990. Design work began in 1987, with the final design by Murat Günak selected in 1989 and the production design by Olivier Boulay delayed in January 1990, finally being patented on 19 December 1990. In October 1986, three years into Mercedes-Benz 190 (W201)'s production run, work began on a successor. It remained in production until 2011 when a new W204 C-Class coupé replaced it for the 2012 model year. Initially available in sedan and a station wagon configurations, a fastback coupé (SportCoupé) variant followed and was later renamed to Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class. The third generation (W204) was launched in 2007 while the current W206 generation was launched in 2021. The C-Class has been available with a " 4MATIC" four-wheel drive option since 2002. Introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 190 (W201) range, the C-Class was the smallest model in the marque's line-up until the W168 A-Class arrived in 1997.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a series of compact executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive ( 4MATIC)
