W206 Picture Thread
Starting this thread so you can start sharing pics here of your freshly delivered W206s.
I’ll watch with some envy since I think I still have 3 months left to wait.

I'll make the first contribution then!
Just took delivery of the car, 2 months earlier than expected.
This is in stock company car-spec. 200d Business with Pano roof as only option.
First impression is that the transmission reacts better than the outgoing model, might be due to the mild-hybrid system. Lacking the buttons is a bit getting used to, but I'm glad to have touchscreen CarPlay input. Can't really judge after 15km.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Congrats. I wish you many happy miles. You exterior color is the same color as my 190E which according to MB, is the originator of the C class line. Nice to see that lineage continue. I'll look forward to your future impressions of your new ride.

Congrats bn326160, and thank you for posting the photos! I love the colour, and when I placed my order in May 2021 it was tough to choose between that dark blue and the lighter blue. In the end, I opted for the lighter blue since summers here in North Carolina can be quite warm.

MSRP was €46306,70 including taxes in Belgium. I don't think regular vehicles are sold with a market adjustment over here.

My W206! USA. C300 4Matic. Starling Blue, AMG Sienna Brown/Black MBTex, Pinnacle
I love this colour! Starling blue, spectral blue in other markets.
As to the spoiler lip, I could take it or leave it. I’m glad it’s in the body colour, though. I don’t think in USA we can omit it if we get the AMG package, the way I think you can in Europe.
Sorry for the dim lighting…early morning with clouds and light rain.
I’ll have to unsee that the steering wheel reminds me of a WW1 biplane. And the small touch capacitive buttons take getting used to.
So, I’m positive that the Advanced Sound Package was dropped from my build, and I don’t have the brushed metal speaker covers. BUT the speaker covers have the Burmester logo and the sound quality is on par with the Burmester in the W205 I turned in. So I don’t know if this is just the base system, which is far better than the outgoing base system, or if this is done kind of upgrade, just not THE upgrade.
I set the ambient lighting to green for the Bundesliga team Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Not a bad place in which to spend time.
Trying to show the texture of the fine anthracite trim.
AMG 18”. Even if run-flats, the ride is exceptional with the suspension. Far better than my old W205.

The seats are very comfortable and far more supporting than in my previous W205, bug it’ll take a longer road-trip to better understand. Oh, and I didn’t know that “Seat Kinetics” was included in USA. I though that was just in Europe and other markets. But my W206 has it!

For the seats, do you find it cushions better or the side bolsters support better, could you go in more details on what you find better if you don't mind please? Thank you.

Thank you. The seat kinetics should help with long drives : ) I wish USA and Canada also gets massage on the W206. : (

The bolsters are more “bolstering”…when I sit down I kind of feel somewhat wrapped in the seat. The seats are firm but cushioned enough. The drivers west has a thigh extender that is not overtly visible but somehow extends the west bottom. You can input your height and the car will calculate what it thinks are the best settings, including steering wheel, but you can fine tune it.
I just really feel supported. I think that’s the best way to put it. I actually felt it at once when I got to check I out the dealer training model.
To give some idea, I’m 190cm/6’2” and wear 34 so I’m tall but not particularly wide.

Thanks for sharing your height, that helps a lot.
I was actually concerned about the seats of the W206 as looks like some S-Class owners complained about the seat comfort of the W223 and consider it as a downgrade to the W222 so I was concerned that MB "messed up" the W206's seats compared to W205 (well, seat comfort is subjected to personal preference though). https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...80-2022-a.html
Speaking of which, how would you compare it to the W213 seats xD? (I know... I know...) but the W206 is the newest C-Class after all and the W214 would come out to improve on the W213, the tech and all trickles down from S to E to C anyways (well some).

Its been a while since I sat in a w213, but I put the overall feel and comfort/support as quite similar. BUT the last w213 I drove had the massage seats but better yet, active bolsters that inflate further on one side when you take a turn. I liked that extra support. My W206 doesn’t have that big so far on just short trips, and even immediate feel, the seats are the best I’ve sat in. Again, it’ll take a good road-trip to learn more.

@GSOTXL your car definitely does not have the upgraded sound system. I think the base sound system must actually just be really good. If your production number/vin ending is above 20000, that would be why - that's about when they stopped getting built with it.
Beautiful pictures! And awesome spec, the driving assist plus is a must have to me and the digital lights are going to be extremely rare in the US
