Sports sedans continue to be one way to introduce you to the world of luxury. They are the benchmarks for anyone looking to move up in the world. This segment continues to be highly competitive, and there is no room for disappointment for its owners.
The Lexus IS is one such vehicle. It offers its own standards of sportiness wrapped in luxurious appointments. A range of engine and traction options keep it on everyone’s shopping list. They even have a high-performance version that is made for enthusiasts.
However, before this brand was even thought of, there was one leader in this segment—one with a long pedigree of engineering excellence, quality workmanship, and motorsport triumphs—one for which it continues to proclaim being “the best or nothing.”
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan comes from a long line of sports sedans that has set the standard for those looking to get into a luxury sedan. It is sized right for a combination of personalized elevated driving or for everyday tasks.
The design is sporty and distinctively Mercedes-Benz. The C-Class is not a copy of another vehicle but one that is easily identified by more than the Three-Pointed Star on the grille. The soft lines and curves contrast with harsh edges and wedges. The exterior completely defines luxury with sport as one cohesive design.
Interior-wise, you will appreciate the digital instrument cluster above the steering wheel. Notably, the large third-generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) touchscreen controls your audio, climate, information, and all other functions of the C-Class. There is no need for any other controller on the center console to access this screen, as it is positioned right for the driver and front passenger to use.
MBUX also makes life easier in the C-Class. Through MBUX or your Mercedes me connect® app, you can automate music, cabin lighting, or seat heating based on location, time, or even the outside temperature.
With everyone talking about electrification, Mercedes-Benz gives you a simpler solution in the C-Class. The standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine includes a 48-volt mild hybrid system that efficiently adds more performance and acceleration. The AMGÒ C-Class is offered in two high-performance models. The C 43 4MATIC® Sedan adds an electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and a SPEEDSHIFTÒ transmission for an exciting experience. Whereas, the C 63 S E PERFORMANCE Sedan delivers maximum power, which includes a 150-kilowatt electric motor at the rear axle.
When it comes to safety, Mercedes-Benz offers its owners the highest standards in driver assistance and structural protection. These technologies and advances on the C-Class help make driving easier and safer, from cruising to changing lanes. Standard Blind Spot Assist can also alert passengers before exiting. Optional DIGITAL LIGHTÒ headlamps can project lane-keeping guidance directly on the road.
If you compare the Mercedes-Benz C-Class with any of its competitors, make a checklist to see whether they can match the design, performance, engineering, and technology our sports sedan offers.
