Mercedes-Benz C Class Draws Five Star Safety Rating

Euro-NCAP crash testing has demonstrated what C Class owners have known for a long time: the vehicles are just as safe as they are reliable and fun to drive. The C Class body design is largely responsible for the top marks. Approximately 70% of the car’s body panels are constructed from state of the art high tech steel alloys that absorb and redistribute the forces of impact through the car’s body and away from the passenger compartment.

In the event of a crash, eight separate airbags work together to protect the driver and passengers. Crash responsive NECK PRO head restraints, seat belt tensioners and seat belt force limiters also help to keep the vehicle’s occupants safe.

Onboard safety systems can help to prevent accidents from occurring. The Mercedes C Class features Mercedes’ ESP Electronic Stability Program as well as the Brake Assist system. These two systems work together to help drivers maintain control of their vehicles in emergency situations.

The Mercedes C Class is the only car in its market segment to feature a proactive crash protection system. PRE-SAFE can detect potential accident situations and prepare the car and passengers for impact. Closing the sun roof and repositioning the car’s seats are just two of the ways that PRE-SAFE can reduce the accident’s forces on the car’s occupants.
