MERCEDES-BENZ will unveil its new C-Class estate at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, but we’ve caught the car testing in Germany.

The new model will have a bigger loadspace than the previous version and will have new features such as hidden cubby holes, a collapsible shopping crate and a remote-opening and closing tailgate.

The car goes on sale in the UK early next year with engine choices mirroring those of the saloon model.
