Mercedes Benz C-Class, The Luxury Sedan
This is the smallest luxury sedan you can buy from Mercedes Benz but you need to really see it in person to realize how much bigger it is from the first C-Class in the early 1990′s. This new C-Class has grown in size allowing for it to sit almost side by side with the current E-Class for space and utility. It is 55 milimetres longer, 42 milimetres wider and the wheelbase is 45 milimetres more than the outgoing model. For a luxury sedan, this new C-Class now has a face and profile that resembles the top-of-the-line boardroom requisite S-class. Stand back and take a good look and you will appreciate the new mildly flared wheels wells which are nicely sculpted into the body work, clam shell hood, a noticeable rising flow line running the side of the car, subtle rear boot lid lip, dual oval exhaust pipes and larger side view mirrors with built in turn signals.
The driver sits in front of a new revised multi function steering wheel. The quality of materials used has moved a few notches up with nicer feel and touch mimicking the new S-Class. Seating position also has been improved with more knee and elbowroom for the driver with front shoulder room increased by 40 millimetres. The rear legroom is the biggest new surprise with space rivaling the larger E-Class. Current E-Class owners will not feel any loss in space and quality in this new C-Class if they choose to trade in. This new C-Class succeeds with top marks as a replacement for the previous C-Class with room to spare. Its styling is first class and should go down well with all demographic of buyers. The supercharged engines are supremely sweet and fast enough to be worthy of the rest of the car’s good qualities, in particular handling, ride and brakes.
There are already sleepless nights in the sales directors office to keep up with orders and the competitors are having a tough time trying to convince replacing buyers to keep away from Mercedes Benz showrooms nationwide.
