Appearances can be more exciting than many an experience. The C-Class Coupé is proof of this. Its shape combines the sporty and expressive lines of the C-Class family with the elongated profile and compact proportions of a coupé.

The deep-set air inlet line with integral daytime running lamps alone is an indicator of the vehicle's sporty character. Behind the double-louvred radiator grille there is black, three-dimensional diamond-shaped mesh, which equally gives a sense of forward thrust. As do the flanks of the C-Class Coupé: they appear arrow-shaped.

The flowing, coupé-shaped shoulder line runs into the short, sporty tail end, which houses the tail lamps and LED indicators. The diffuser is a further outward sign of the vehicle design's claim to dynamic spirit.

Alloy wheels are a must for the C-Class Coupé: their design further emphasises the dynamic effect of this Mercedes-Benz.

The C-Class Coupé's exterior is stylish, athletic and agile. This stylishness is systematically extended to the interior, which has the classy feel of an executive lounge: clearly drawn lines and high-quality, expertly finished materials: .

The intuitive arrangement of all controls provides immediate evidence that this is a Mercedes-Benz of the young generation. The instrument panel is arranged on several levels, with a strong horizontal emphasis; the three-dimensional tube-shaped rings made of anodised metal in the instrument panel provide a striking effect.

Both the sporty, 3-spoke steering wheel and the shift/selector lever are finished in nappa leather. Trim elements in a high-gloss black piano lacquer look round off the irresistibly classy interior style of the C-Class Coupé.
