As the name implies, the C-Class Estate is just that; an estate variant of the C-Class and is the fourth generation C-Class Estate produced. It measures 96 mm longer than the standard C-Class sedan, totalling 4702 mm long with the wheelbase being extended up 80 mm to 2840 mm. Additionally, the car is 40 mm wider than the sedan. Thanks to these larger proportions, passengers at the rear have 45 mm of additional legroom as well as more headroom.
Compared to the previous generation Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate, the new one supports 490 litres of storage space with the rear seats up and 1510 litres with them down. This represents a 5 litre and 10 litre increase in space respectively. Alongside the additional storage space, practicality has further been increased in the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate with more versatile rear seats which can be folded in a 40/20/40 split.
