Typically, Mercedes offered the W204 in three trim and equipment levels, marketed as Classic, Elegance and Avantgarde. Deliveries began in late March 2007 in almost all European countries. ĭaimlerChrysler introduced the W204 C-Class on 18 January 2007 at the 2007 Geneva Auto Show. The design of W204 was finalized in 2003 and a German design patent application was first filed on 9 September 2004, demonstrating a W204 fiberglass design model. An industry first, the digital testing allowed for crash testing before a physical prototype existed. In the summer of 2003, the development of the W204 C-Class used a "digital prototype", a 2.1 terabyte digital replica of the car, over a virtual distance of 15 million miles. Production reached over 2.4 million worldwide, and the W204 was the brand's best selling vehicle at the time. The W204 station wagon was not marketed in North America. The C 180 Kompressor, C 230, and C 200 CDI were available in the beginning of August 2007. Sub-models included the C 200 Kompressor, the C 230, the C 280, the C 350, the C 220 CDI, and the C 320 CDI. The W204 platform was also used for the E-Class Coupé (C207). The C-Class was available in rear- or all-wheel drive, the latter marketed as 4MATIC. It was manufactured and marketed by Mercedes-Benz in sedan/saloon (2007–2014), station wagon/estate (2008–2014) and coupé (2011–2015) bodystyles, with styling by Karlheinz Bauer and Peter Pfeiffer. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204) is the third generation of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
