On December 12, the mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-class art installation "Comfort Environment" landed in Beijing Wangfujing Zhonghuan, creating an immersive "aesthetic dream". Created by renowned artist and Oscar-winning best art director, Mr. Ip Kam Tim and the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-Class, the touring exhibition combines a rich and varied experience area with art. Inside the "Comfort, Create" art installation, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, embrace the ubiquitous freedom, and enjoy an immersive experience inspired by the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter with a new Orientalist aesthetic.
Stepping into the "Comfort zone" art installation is like crossing from the bustling Wangfujing Zhonghuan to the magical forest of the fairy tale world, and the exquisite arrangement takes us to appreciate the beauty of the four seasons with the change of indoor lighting, which is in harmony with the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
As the brilliant lights change, the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-Class blends in with this fairytale art installation, revealing a breathtaking artistic charm. The new Mercedes-Benz long wheelbase C-Class exterior also adopts a design language that is very in line with the aesthetics of oriental consumers, showing a low-key, elegant luxury aesthetic. The new front grille has a positive trapezoidal design, but a more rounded treatment at the corners, showing a subtle aesthetic. The interior of the grille is composed of 240 three-pointed star LOGOs, which is quite exquisite, and the official also calls it the "Night Galaxy" design. The headlights on both sides are very exquisite, and the interior is composed of a combination of multiple sets of LED light sources, and when unlocking the vehicle and locking the vehicle, the light group will also project a pattern similar to a meteor in the front area, which is highly recognizable.
On the side of the body, the overall proportions of the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-Class car still look very coordinated, and the front of the vehicle also shows a slight downward inclination, creating a ready visual effect, making the whole car look quite agile. At the side skirt, the relatively wide chrome trim brings a more prominent and delicate feeling to the whole vehicle, and the slightly outward projection design can also provide considerable downforce for both sides of the vehicle when driving at high speeds, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle form. In terms of body size, the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-class car has a length, width and height of 4882/1820/1461mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2954mm, which has been significantly improved compared with previous models, making the interior space more spacious and comfortable, and perfectly meeting the domestic consumers' pursuit of "comfort zone".
At the rear, from the top of the trunk to the lower bumper, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class long wheelbase model presents an appropriate inclination, which raises the overall sportiness of the vehicle by another notch, and also helps the body to achieve a perfect 50:50 front-to-back ratio. In order to achieve better lighting effects, the taillights have been extended to the side of the body, improving the visual tension and bringing a good sense of refinement. The interior of the light group adopts a segmented design, and after lighting, the light group is slowly lit from the inside to the outside, like a sparkling water surface. A total of two exhaust air layouts on the lower two sides with the overall rear of the car also bring a strong sporty atmosphere.
Entering the car, the overall layout of the new Mercedes-Benz C-class long wheelbase model can clearly feel that it is in line with the "big brother" S-class, catering to the Chinese consumers' pursuit of luxury and sense of atmosphere. The new car also applies a large number of suspension designs, such as door panel armrests, window control panels and central control screens, etc., which are very futuristic. The whole series is equipped with a 12.3-inch dashboard and 11.9 inches to bring a strong sense of technology to the car, the built-in MBUX car machine system shows the degree of intelligence that does not lose the domestic independent brand, supports the internet of driving, voice control, etc., and even can download a very rich localization APP, such as Phoenix FM, Huanxi Dou Landlord, Bilibili video.
In terms of power, the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-Class model is equipped with a new M254 1.5T engine with low and high power tuning, and is matched with a 48V light hybrid system, with a maximum output of 170 hp and 204 hp, and a peak torque of 250 Nm and 300 Nm, respectively. The drivetrain is mated to a 9-speed automatic manual transmission.
At the event, the official also provided a short test drive experience, allowing guests to experience the many black technologies of the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-class M254 four-cylinder engine. Driving on the bustling streets of Beijing, you can clearly feel that the new car has significantly improved its smoothness and comfort. The most surprising thing is that the vehicle's smoothness is greatly improved at start-up, due to the new layout of the ISG motor, which allows the vehicle to quickly bring the engine speed to 1100r/min within 510ms, during which the engine does not inject oil, no combustion workmanship, bringing smooth non-sense start and quietness to the internal combustion engine.
Compared to the previous generation, ISG motors have increased power by 50% and torque by 11%, providing an additional 15 kW of power and 200 Nm of torque to further enhance the vehicle's dynamic performance. Stepping on the accelerator, the power is almost 0 hysteresis to drive the vehicle, but it is extremely smooth, achieving the effect of both power and comfort. The problem of insufficient stamina of the 1.5T engine is not revealed in the new Mercedes-Benz long wheelbase C-class, but gives people an unfathomable feeling.
The chassis of the vehicle is still a standard German tuning, with a touch of tenacity in comfort, not only the daily driving gives me a very neat feeling, but also the acceleration and parallel process can also clearly feel that the four tires have a strong adhesion on the road surface, which is very easy to mobilize. The steering system also gives a clear sense of interaction between the steering wheel and the front wheels, as if the hands are also part of the steering system.
Write at the end
This event not only allowed us to re-examine the aesthetic impact of the new Mercedes-Benz long-wheelbase C-Class from an artistic perspective, but also expressed an attitude towards life and an "immersive" comfortable experience brought about by combining with the scene. Combined with test drive, it can be clearly felt that the vehicle has been significantly upgraded in terms of design, technology configuration, and luxurious atmosphere, making the new car have a comprehensive improvement in comprehensive strength, stronger competitiveness, and more attractive to consumers.
