Driven 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class defines the elegance of the German luxury sedan.
Here in America, we do not know Mercedes-Benz for cheap car building he built luxury cars Big, strong, and expensive luxury cars because when a company like Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac or others build smaller, less expensive deals, you have to question what compromise could have been done to build the cheapest cars do they embody the core values of the company and in a smaller package, or are they pawning something which, under its price, is not as well built, much less at ease, and contains less good things.
We are pleased to report that, in the case of you found a Benz in good faith is a leap from previous iterations of the C-Class Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2015, they might as well have named something like another S-Lite class S or class C or S-class Kompakt.
You get the point that car is much more like the new Class super sedan S as the outgoing C-Class, and considering the amount of technology, safety and swagger the new S class contains, which is really saying something Mercedes-Benz took us out in Seattle, Washington, to get our first taste of class C from the driver's seat.
The first example we drove was the C300, which is powered by a 2 0-liter 4-cylinder engine has been turbocharged to the tune of 241 horsepower and 272 lb -ft of torque We found it was adequate, if not terribly stimulating from the viewpoint of acceleration when pushed, it still sounds like a four-cylinder, although the gas, it is as quiet as a sleeping cat.
With a dashboard updated and LED signing recalls other recent Benzs, 2015 C-Class can be difficult to distinguish from his brothers.
2015 Class C less than a sporty look than the 3 Series BMW or Audi A4, but certainly takes the cake in terms of class.
With an elegant line of sloping roof and curvy character lines 2015 C-Class looks more slender than its predecessor.
The rear lights of the C-Class in 2015 are very similar in shape and design to that of the S-Class, and for the love of elegance, it's not a bad thing at all.
For friskier drivers, Mercedes offers the C400, which switches in a turbo engine 3 0 liter V-6 which produces a 329 hp very healthy and 354 lb -ft torque, which is upwards of 302 horsepower and 273 lb -ft of torque makes the not supercharged 3 of 5 liter V-6 in 2014 C350 Thus equipped, the C-class is transformed into the kind of fast sports sedan without effort and steady that we associate with a German pedigree.
The automatic seven-speed transmission, standard with both engines, is also a willing partner with four operating modes Eco, Comfort, Sport and Sport These are selectable via a button marked Agility on the center console Eco, the transmission shifts to low regime in the highest possible to save Mash gas throttle in sport or sport, however, and cracks in the off fast gearbox if changes a little abrupt at high speed, especially in the comfort mode C400 is an excellent compromise, we believe, for most drivers, but fans probably will promote motor All-wheels Sport mode is also available on the C300 and standard on the gutsy C400, this car will be more than willing to take a winter in New York or elsewhere sensitive to fickle polar vortices.
The C-class 2015 is equipped with a 2 0 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder or 0 to 3 liter turbo V-6.
Dynamically, the inclinations in looking for comfort C-Class again mimics the S-Class The ride is taut but Euro-isolated severe shock with the standard suspension in the 1190 Airmatic suspension option that uses air springs instead coil springs takes almost limousine smoothing path, still retains the car corners at high speed completely level, lowers the car at the speed for better stability and prevents brake dive and squat rear end when the acceleration of the steering feels direct and predictable in the corners, with suitable feedback and a solid center to feel maintaining the easy path at high speeds is a Autobahn race car, after all if a maintenance function of the electronic Stability Assistance is available if you put a tire on the line.
Inside the updated 2015 C-Class feels like it belongs in a car with a much higher price tag.

All the above systems, except for the non Airmatic suspension, are also connected to the parameters Agility Select Besides the Eco mentioned above, Comfort, Sport and Sport modes, it also includes an individual mode that lets you customize every aspect individually example, if you want to drive in Eco mode, but want more weight to management and firm behavior, you can or you can drive with throttle sportier gas and transmission response, but keep the super tower soft and light steering effort at all, it drives like a Benz Not as sporty as a BMW or a Cadillac, but a Benz.
While some may not like the infotainment screen nailed on, no one can deny the power and functionality of the COMAND infotainment interface.
Now while the car still doesn t quite match his great rival, the BMW 3 Series, sportier or cool factor, it makes the BMW Officer and almost all of its other competitors inside for many buyers of the luxury brand, it is inside remains that matter most, and the boy ladle C-class over the spoils As with the exterior, the interior mimics the S class in its use of subtle contours , scanning, indirect lighting and chic silver buttons and many wood and leather buttons treatments are available, including a beautiful wood, black ash with open pores that looks dressier than wood in many cars twice its price.
The C-Class Mercedes offers latest version of its COMAND interface, which includes not only a round controller front armrest, but also uses a touchpad remote with haptic feedback, we wouldn t say that the system is completely intuitive, it is learnable in a day or at least that was our experience in any case, we recommend that you spend quality time learning COMAND various s features and functions, especially if the car is updated with 2690 multimedia package This carries an 8 screen 4-inch, 3D maps, navigation and options of music and storage media.
