If you want power, good looks and reliability, you could do a lot worse than a Mercedes. The latest C-Class model has the aim of mixing traditional Mercedes quality with extra refinement and sharp driving dynamics.
Depending on the kind of look you want, the C-Class offers either the traditional three bar grille and three point star on the hood (SE or Elegance models) or an athletic body kit and badge smack in the middle of the grille (Sport model).
Compared to the last model offered, there is a lot more space available in both the front and the rear. Taller passengers (or indeed drivers) may find their heads brushing the ceiling though. Luggage capacity ranges from 475 litres in the saloon to a whopping 1,500 litres in the estate. Ideal for the weekly shop. If you’re feeding the five thousand.
Relaxation and comfort is the name of the game with Mercedes and the C-Class is no different. Light controls make for an excellent long-distance drive and the steering is tuned for a sharper reponse in the sport model.
Like all good things, you get what you pay for and the C-Class is not cheap to buy. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are among the lowest out there and depending on the model, road tax ranges from reasonable (for tax) to eye watering.
The Mercedes holds its reputation for safety with a five star NCAP rating. With seven airbags fitted as standard, an anti-whiplash head restraint system and electronic stability control, you’ll be as safe as possible should the worst happen.
On the inside, the new and larger display along with new metal trims and quality leathers play their part in giving a better feel when driving. The new generation telematics and easy to read layout will please most drivers and they’re faster – and easier- to use.
