Mercedes-Benz has produced an extended version of its Mercedes-Benz C-Class for the Chinese market – and it’s shown the new model in public at the Beijing motor show.

Power comes from the same choice of engines offered with the regular car. The latest C-Class is offered with 48v electric architecture with a belt driven alternator to provide a mild hybrid boost to performance and efficiency.
