The head of research and development of Mercedes-Benz, Prof. Dr. Thomas Weber, speaking to Reuters confirmed that the company will send the market a version of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class long wheelbase exclusively for the Chinese market, since the Chinese nourish special liking to these cars.
It is manufactured in China, where it is sold, having a larger wheelbase of 2.840 mm which is the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The only larger but was something that Weber did not want to announce.
