w204 - interior difference

I was looking at several w204 and found out that they can vary a lot in interior. I have seen few models, that do not have board computer and have less buttons on steering wheel ! What's the difference between these two, is the second one for some "special" market ?

They are both non-US models, I know the trim is different, but look at the speed table, the second has much larger LCD on it !

The LCD is the same on both. I have that too its called audio 20. Both cars are 2008 judging from the dash. And both looks like its a non sports version. Could be a lux or station wagon. also the first car has a parking sensor but no Bluetooth or heated seats, could be a lower grade car like c180 or something

That speedometer sure looks weird in the first picture. Definitely not a US model.

The trip computer/large display is not standard on the W204 in the ROW on the base models.

I believe if you are looking at documentation, they refer to the cars with no trip computer as having the 4 button steering wheel, and the cars with the computer as having the 12 button wheel.

Are you sure it is not standard(?), w203 facelift had it as standard !

There are very few models I have seen like the one on the first picture, I am pretty sure it was standard

I hate the steering wheel in those models! I have never seen one with the fewer buttons on the steering wheel. Speedometer in kilometers and mine has an LCD display like the second pic. I'm assuming they are both lux models.

That 1st picture was from UK.
My place here import a few units too.
some will go for it for lower price.
i came across a similar when i hunt for my car,

~The speedometer looks awful to me
~The interior dash, door steering wheel feel like cheap plastic and leather.
The workmanship was rough too
~the command doesn't have any function except radio & cd
~it doesn't comes with AMG sport body or brake kit.
~16 inch wheels with cheap tyre.

For those who want the 3 stars logo but not wish to broke their bank will choose this type.
Most of them will never mod their car in entire life

Yeah, I know that first one is way cheaper, I will bypass it for sure. But I just cannot understand where did they come up, since trip-computer is standard on all w204.

BTW they are both from German market
