Overview
The C-Class brings S-Class technology and interior quality to a more accessible package. The portrait-orientation touchscreen, ambient lighting, and material quality are class-leading. At $46,750, it's not cheap, but the C-Class delivers a luxury experience that the 3 Series and A5 approach but don't quite match.
Key Highlights
- Mini S-Class interior with portrait-style touchscreen
- Mild hybrid standard
