Mercedes C-Class AMG Sport Edition revealed to make sales ahead of new C-Class arrival

The Mercedes C-Class AMG Sport Edition arrives in the UK as a run-out model for the current C-Class ahead of the arrival of the all new C-Class later this year.

There’s an all new Mercedes C-Class waiting in the wings after its Detroit Auto Show debut to take the C-Class to a while new level, but Mercedes want to carrying on selling the current C-Class until it arrives.

With that in mind we get the arrival of the Mercedes C-Class AMG Sport Edition to try and carry the existing C-Class sales mantle until the arrival of the all new C-Class in the summer.

The AMG Sport Edition sees the demise of the existing AMG Sport and AMG Sport Plus and can be had as a saloon, estate or coupe and comes with an AMG bodykit, lowered suspension, AMG steering wheel and alloys, gloss black grill, boot spoiler and dark tinted headlights.

Inside there’s black Artico or Dinamica trim with blue and grey contrast stitching, and the option of a Premium Package which throws in COMAND, reversing camera, heated front seats and DAB for £1,595, or the Premium Plus Package which adds a panoramic glass roof too for another £900.

Effectively, the AMG Sport Edition is an option with the 220 CDI and 250 CDI engines, and at prices from £30,170 for the saloon, £31,370 for the estate and £32,455 for the Coupe it’s about half the cost of the old AMG trim.

It should count for a few sales between now and the summer.
