It has been hailed as the biggest selling and most popular Mercedes Benz, and with that in mind, we could not resist taking this cute C200 Exclusive finished in Mojave Silver, out for a day to the beautiful and picturesque tea plantations in Limuru, Kiambu County.
Talk about a car that enhances and elevates your image when you set off to drive it, thanks to its eye-catching looks, raw power, and state-of-the-art technology. It’s impressively quiet, more than quick enough to keep up with fast-lane traffic. We set off to show her off amongst the most beautiful, sprawling lush tea plantations that will simply blow your mind as you marvel at the remarkable greenery of the area, flowing with endless beauty of Mother Nature.
The C-Class has Adaptive Multibeam headlights which gives it its signature look. In high-beam mode, Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus enables continuous long-range illumination of the road ahead without dazzling oncoming traffic. When no other road user is detected, the road ahead is straight and the vehicle speed is above 40 km/h, ULTRA RANGE high beam is switched on automatically. When there are oncoming vehicles or vehicles ahead, the LEDs of the main beam modules are partially switched off, masking out a U-shaped area of the light beam.
The C-Class combines emotionality with intelligence. It uses map and navigation data for assistance functions. For example, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC as part of the Driving Assistance package is able to support the driver in numerous route-specific situations. Speed is now adjusted automatically ahead of bends, junctions, or roundabouts.
The active break assist feature of the C- class helps to mitigate the consequences of rear-end collisions with slow-moving, stopping, or stationary vehicles ahead, and even with crossing pedestrians and cyclists, or prevent them altogether. It alerts you if you are approaching a vehicle or object and believes a collision is possible.
The C-Class has touch-sensitive controls in the steering wheel. They respond to swiping motions like the screen of a smartphone. The infotainment system can additionally be operated via the touchpad with controller (new: haptic feedback) in the centre console or by means of LINGUATRONIC voice control. The optional head-up display is now adjustable over an even wider range.
The park assist is automatically turned on when you drive and will assess whether a spot is spacious enough to acquire your vehicle. Your active parking assist feature will automatically engage itself at those speeds to find a spot. You get a reversing camera as standard to help make it as simple as possible to park.
