Mercedes made in Beijing exclusively for Chinese

With all of its focus exclusively on China, Mercedes-Benz believes its first locally produced long wheelbase C-Class will act as a game-changer and reset the benchmark in its segment.

The latest generation of the German brand's major force hit the Chinese market in Beijing on Monday, with four variants, C 200 L and C 260 L models, priced from 369,000 yuan to 479,000 yuan, respectively.

The new C-Class long wheelbase is the only model in its segment offered in both sedan and sport sedan variants.
