The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Edition 6 limited-edition model was spotted on the local Merc SA website and it appears that it will be going on sale shortly. Here’s the latest.

Browsing OEM configurator websites is both an entertaining and educational experience. Not only can you daydream and make some outrageous configurations, but you can often spot previews of new models and more. We’ve been tracking the local arrival of the new W206 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for some time and while we don’t have an official launch date yet, we’ve seen a handful on the road already.

Like all German carmakers, Mercedes-Benz offers an extensive configuration process and a diverse array of options. While the current lineup is just two models, for now, we spotted something interesting. What you see here is theMercedes-Benz C-Class Edition 6, a limited-run model.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Edition 6 Features

This limited-edition model comes with a number of additional features on top of the standard offering. Visually, it has the AMG Line styling kit, AMG line features, a panoramic roof, 19-inch AMG alloy wheels and the agility control adaptive suspension. That’s all the info we have, but we suspect there’s additional content and features inside.

Right now it appears that Mercedes-Benz SA is trying to secure pre-orders of this vehicle. The carmaker claims that a limited number of just 400 units will go into production and the website said it will ‘be released alongside the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class.’

Our international correspondent Greg Kable has already spent some time with the new sedan, which will be taking on the accomplished BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. You can read his international driving report of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class here, but if his conclusion is anything to go by, this is going to be a winner for the Stuttgart-based brand. “The new-generation C-Class is a wonderfully complete car that will no doubt appeal to a wide range of customers when it arrives on the local market towards the end of 2021 or in early 2022.”

As a reminder, the all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class will be going on sale before the end of 2021 and we’ve already seen a few on the roads of South Africa. Our cars are assembled at the Mercedes-Benz facility in East London, Eastern Cape and vehicles made here are for local consumption as well as export.Right now, there are just two derivatives on offer: a petrol C200 and a diesel C220d. The petrol C-Class has 150 kW and 300 Nm, while the diesel-powered model offers up 147 kW and 550 Nm. Both vehicles feature 9-speed automatic gearboxes.
