Mercedes-Benz has announced the pricing of the new 2014 C-Class Estate for the UK. The versatile family car has a price tag of £28,055 on the road for the entry-level model - C 200. Mercedes offers the C-Class Estate with five engines and three model lines. The car sets new class benchmarks in refinement, economy and standard equipment.

There are three trim levels - SE, Sport and AMG Line. There are also four option packages – the Executive Package (£995 and available on the SE) which comprises the Garmin Map Pilot NAV system, heated front seats and chrome (rather than black) roof rails.

The Premium Package adds a panoramic glass sunroof, Keyless-Go, the ambient lighting system and the electric seat memory package. The Premium Plus Package adds the mighty Burmester surround sound system and COMAND Online. The packages cost £1,595 and £2,795 respectively.

Further options include the Driving Assistance Package (£1,495 available on the Sport and AMG Line models) which incorporates the Blind Spot Assist, Distronic Plus, Lane-Keeping Assist and the Pre-Safe anticipatory safety system.

The AirMATIC Agility Package (£895) allows the suspension on the C-Class Estate to self-level and be raised by 25mm when required as well as varying to allow different damping characteristics. The Air-Balance package, meanwhile, allows a fragrance to be diffused around the interior of the car via a small container found in the glovebox.

Some of the functional highlights include a powered tailgate, roof rails and split folding rear seats all coming as standard.
