Enjoy driving like your,,, 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Expert Review Pros If you’re a more conventional luxury enthusiast who digs the occasional fast-paced drive, the Mercedes C-Class could be your cup of tea. With its reassuringly traditionalist interior, the C-Class is more like a scaled down premium car than an aspirational entry-level offering – which we think is a good thing. Cons Though it’s more stylish than ever, the C-Class still recalls Mercedes-Benz’s stodgy reputation, and while it’s sprightlier to drive than its predecessor, there’s still a trace of restraint when pushing the C-Class to the limit. Hardcore driving enthusiasts might find more satisfaction from the C-Class’ Munich-based competition, the BMW 3 Series. What's New for 2015 All-new for 2015, the C-Class sedan loses as much as 220 pounds despite growing 3.7 inches longer (in sedan form). Fuel economy increases about 20 percent as well, and a thorough interior and exterior restyling lends the lineup a slick new look. Now that Mercedes-Benz’s CLA handles entry-level duties for the triple-pointed star, the 2015 C-Class grows closer to its upscale stablemates and more competitive against the likes of the Audi A4, BMW 3-series, and Lexus IS. Larger, lighter and posher than its predecessor, the all-new 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan lineup makes a more compelling case for itself than ever in this competitive segment. Though it never was – and might never be – the choice for weekend autocrossers, the C-Class has matured into a big luxury car trapped in a compact-car body. Launching the latest-gen C-Class is a sedan lineup consisting of the C300, C400 and performance-oriented AMG C63 and AMG C63 S models. Coupe versions are still available but await their own metamorphosis. Driving the Used 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class The outgoing Mercedes C-Class, at least in its milder non-AMG form, was never known for its athleticism. Thanks to the new model’s lighter weight, the C-Class feels more tossable and lithe – though there’s still a sense of insulation from road feel and steering feedback. However, the chassis exudes a feeling of unflappable solidity, which goes a long way towards making the C-Class feel crisp and responsive. While C300 models are equipped with 241-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinders, the C400 versions get a 329-horsepower V6 mated to an adjustable Airmatic suspension. Those who love to drive will find more satisfaction from the rear-drive models (versus the available 4Matic all-wheel-drive versions). Those seeking serious performance in what looks like a sleeper will find it in the new AMG C63 that packs a 469 horsepower biturbo V8 or the even more extreme AMG C63 S that houses 503 horses under the hood. Coupe variants carry over with previous-gen hardware that includes a trio of engines ranging from a just-adequate 1.8-liter turbo 4-cylinder to a muscular 6.3-liter V8. Favorite Features AIRMATIC SUSPENSION Optional air suspension joins the Mercedes C-Class lineup for the first time, and atones for the otherwise firm feedback provided by the car’s run-flat tires. The system can be dialed to one of four styles – Comfort, ECO, Sport and Sport+ – and can help smooth out the ride dramatically. DRIVER ASSISTANCE PACKAGE This bundle of safety features includes blind-spot assist and active lane-keeping assist, though our favorite item is adaptive cruise control, which makes driving in traffic a wonderfully mindless task.
