Equipment and practical details

Mercedes-Benz C-class · Generation 2, CL203 · Russia · 10.2000 - 03.2004. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.

Generation and equipment description ↗

Folding rear seats
This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
Multi-link rear suspension
For a version with multi-link rear suspension, identify parts by drivetrain and body code. The layout name does not establish a link count or identical settings across all specifications.
Seat-position memory
Check that positions can be stored and recalled, particularly if several drivers will use the car.
Rear-view camera
Check the image when reverse is selected and the area visible near the bumper. A camera does not replace checking around the car.
