Mercedes-Benz C-Class

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class belongs to the fourth generation C-Class, which was first introduced in 2015. With a reputation for being a top-of-the-line vehicle, the C-Class comes with high expectations. Known for its sleek and luxurious style, this Benz matches its look with efficient and modern features to make your experience as smooth as possible.

Design and Technology

Mercedes-Benz is no stranger to quality, and the 2019 C-Class lives up to this reputation. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard features on this model; they show that Mercedes-Benz knows how to keep up with the times. An optional infotainment system is user-friendly and can be controlled through the touchpad controllers, traditional buttons and dials, or the steering wheel. With all of these options, you're certain to find a comfortable way to use your technology.

Cutting-Edge Safety Features

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is an exceptionally safe sedan that earned a 2019 Top Safety Pick Plus award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The C-Class uses Collision Prevention Assist to automatically alert the driver and apply the brakes if a pending forward collision is sensed. It also includes Surround-View and Active Blind-Spot Assist to help you avoid hitting pedestrians or other cars that you may not notice or be able to see.

Satisfying Driving Characteristics

The seats in the C-Class are designed to be comfortable and adjustable for different body types so that you don't feel too much fatigue during trips. Equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission, the C-Class goes from zero to 60 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds. You can drive with confidence knowing that you'll have great handling and responsive steering. This model offers both Comfort drive mode and Sport mode depending on what feels more natural to you.

Firm Ride

Although the C-Class handles well, the ride can feel overly firm to the rider. The optional AMG sport suspension specifically coupled with 19-inch wheels on the C 300 can make the ride more jarring than necessary. This can also make the cabin a bit noisy when you're on the road.

Limited Space

If you'll likely have very tall friends riding with you or you need to transport lots of equipment, you may want to strongly consider the following factors before purchasing a C-Class. The trunk of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is rather small, and there's very limited space in the cabin. The back seat also has limited legroom and may be a bit inconvenient for very tall people.

Car Seat Anchor Accessibility

The car seat anchors are fairly easy to find, but physically installing a car seat can be a daunting task in the C-Class. Due to the tight space and awkward placement of the lower car seat anchors, installing a car seat may require a bit more effort than expected. The aforementioned limited legroom also means less room to maneuver the car seat into place. Depending on how bulky the car seat is, you may have to adjust the front seat to properly install it.
