Mercedes-Benz C Class Saloon (2014 - ) review - Auto Trader UK

The Mercedes C-Class is one of the best cars of its type, with swish looks, a strong image, a classy interior and good practicality. In a class where image counts for a whole lot, the C-Class makes a very strong case for itself. With curvaceous lines and swoopy details, it looks very much like a scaled-down version of the S-Class limousine, which instantly gives an impression of class and exclusivity. All versions come with alloy wheels, but mid-range Sport models get LED headlamps and more chrome exterior trim than entry-level SE models for a slightly sharper look. All versions have dense-feeling materials, spiced up by plenty of metallic and piano black inserts, and the simple, clutter-free design looks cool and makes things appear even more sophisticated. That layout does mean that most functions have to be controlled via the infotainment system, but while rivals from Audi and BMW have more intuitive systems, the Merc’s is easy enough to get to grips with once you’re used to it. Provided, that is,... The only other slight criticisms are that the screen, that’s been styled to look like an iPad, looks like a bit of an afterthought, and the car could have clearer rear visibility.
