Mercedes-Benz has announced plans to sell the C-Class station wagon in Canada.
Launched at the 2014 Paris Auto Show, the 185-inch long C wagon is nearly identical to its four-door sedan counterpart from the tip of the front bumper to the B-pillar. Beyond that it gains a long, sloping roof line accented by brushed aluminum roof rails, a curved D-pillar, elegant horizontal tail lamps, and a roof-mounted spoiler. Like the sedan, the wagon can be ordered with one of two different grille designs.
The family-friendly C offers 17.3 cubic feet of trunk space with five passengers on board and 53.3 cubes with the second row of seats folded flat.
Mercedes will offer a diesel-burning version of the wagon called C300d. It will be equipped with a 2.1-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine tuned to send 201 horsepower and a stout 369 lb-ft. of torque to all four wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive system. Steel springs will come standard, and an air suspension will be available as an option.
Pricing information will be published closer to the C-Class station wagon’s launch date. At the time of writing Mercedes isn’t planning on selling its smallest station wagon in the United States due to low demand, though a C300d sedan will go on sale in the coming months.
