The ride of the Mercedes-Benz C200 leans towards a comfortable ride that is suited for touring. Comfort is delightful, but the suspension is firm enough for quick turns. The C200 comes with Electronic Stability Control and helps to ensure things don't get out of your control. Because the Mercedes-Benz C200 is very comfortale to drive, the relaxed manner of progress ensures that the driver remains alert. Dynamic four-wheel ABS brakes, air bags for the front, and curtain and door airbags for front and rear offer great passive safety features. A COMAND cockpit data management system with LINGUATRONIC voice activation ensures that you can keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel. A tyre-pressure-loss warning system is one of the great features the management system has. The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Brake Assist (BAS) work superbly to detect hazardous driving situations – such as pronounced oversteer or understeer, sudden steering movements and emergency braking. Once detection of such an event has occured, the system makes the necessary corrections. Low-beam headlamps based on the bi-xenon headlamp system with active light function automatically adapts to the respective driving situation. For instance, the illumination is wider on a country road, while on motorways the range is increased significantly. The Intelligent Light System also features enhanced fog lamps and headlamps that follow the movement of the steering wheel to light the road ahead. A speed sensing cruise-control system also keeps you a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The comfort of the interior is outstanding, and provides the occupants with ample head and leg room. There is a multi-function steering wheel that provides a multitude of controls, all within the driver's thumb-reach. Stereo systems vary by taste, and range from the simplistic to the "wow" factor level.
