Mercedes' 2017 C-Class Coupe is as sleek as it is high tech - Digital Trends

at launch the C300 will be offered only with rear-wheel drive, while the C400 will launch with Mercedes’ 4Matic all-wheel drive only. The coupe also gets its share of gadgets, including available self-leveling air suspension, a 360-degree camera system, and air conditioning that’s linked to the navigation system. A host of electronic aids also bring the C-Class Coupe closer to Mercedes’ ideal of a self-driving car. Standard Attention Assist monitors the driver for signs of fatigue, Collision Prevention Assist warns of an impending crash, and Adaptive Brake Assist can provide autonomous braking in certain situations, at speeds up to 124 mph. Other available tech includes Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control, which can adjust speed and steering to keep a safe following distance and prevent the car from straying out of its lane. There’s also Enhanced Lane Keeping Assist, and Pre-Safe Brake, which scans for pedestrians and other obstacles at lower speeds and can also apply the brakes automatically. Like the C-Class sedan, the coupe features a version of Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system, with a fixed display screen mounted on top of the dashboard.
