Elsewhere, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class received its European premiere. There were plenty on stand for us to look at. They range from the C200 petrol version to a more potent C400 4MATIC four-wheel drive version.

It is called CarPlay and uses Apple tech to allow calls and texts to be made using Siri as well as to control navigation and music with touch, voice, or the controls built into your car.
