Overview
The Mercedes C-Class is a sedan known for this above all: baby s-class tech and cabin ambiance. It cross-shops against the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and like every vehicle it has a personality — strengths worth paying for and quirks worth checking before you sign anything.
What it costs
Trims to know
