[[DaimlerChrysler]] introduced the W204 C-Class on 18 January 2007<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.daimlerchrysler.com/dccom/0-5-693758-1-693744-1-0-0-0-0-0-13-7163-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html |title=Daimler - Brands & Products - World Premiere of the New Mercedes-Benz C-Class |access-date=2014-04-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227134337/http://www.daimlerchrysler.com/dccom/0-5-693758-1-693744-1-0-0-0-0-0-13-7163-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html |archive-date=27 December 2008 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> and displayed it in the 2007 [[Geneva Auto Show]]. Sales started on 31 March 2007 in almost all European countries. The new family had an extended wheelbase and tracks, a stiffer body/shell and a design inspired by the [[Mercedes-Benz W221|W221 S-Class]] with some influences from the [[Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class (W219)|C219 CLS-Class]]. The C-Class received a facelift in 2011 for the 2012 model year including new LED taillights, a revised dashboard and instrument cluster layout, and a revised front fascia and headlights. The W204 platform continued into 2015 with the C-Class coupe. The final farewell of the W204, and also the naturally aspirated V8, was in the Edition 507 model. This had increased power, lightweight wheels and the vented hood from the Black Series.
