Mercedes Benz C Class History

The first C-Class (W202) sedan was produced on 1, June, 1993. The existing Mercedes Benz C Class may be known as a small version of the S-class, not only in relations of exterior design but road protocols and interior features. (Ramey, 2013)

The Mercedes-Benz Class C earlier known as 190E was introduced to the market in November 1982. At first it wasn't called a C-class, this framework codenamed W201 was the first modern version of the C-class family  (Ramey, 2013). The success of the BMW 3-series into the luxury sedan market did not go unnoticed by Mercedes-Benz. At the time Mercedes-Benz had the W123 sedan and wagon as the smallest cars in their lineup  (Ramey, 2013). The W123was very much a midsized car by Mercedes C Class specifications, and its replacement was going to be an even larger and more luxurious automobile. A small sedan was needed to give the 3-series some competition and Mercedes spent over a billion dollars developing the W201 platform. Thus we have the popular C Class today.  (Ramey, 2013)
