The Mercedes C-Class is a car which brings everything you’d expect from the German brand. It’s refined, comfortable and well-appointed regardless of which specification you go for. It’s a popular car here at Prestige Cars Kent, too, and you’ll find a variety of C-Class models available via our website today.

But why is the C-Class such a good choice and what does it have to offer? We’ll be checking out some of this car’s key attributes in this article. 

Design

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is available in a number of configurations, from sleek-looking coupes right the way through to more practical estate models. However, what ties them all together is a distinctive design. All of the C-Class models currently available here at Prestige Cars Kent get a prominent Mercedes badge on their ‘nose’, alongside sharp LED headlights with eye-catching daytime running lights. 

On AMG models you’ll also see something called a ‘Panamericana’ grille, which replaces the horizontal slats found on other models with vertically-orientated versions for a more dynamic appearance. 

Technology

Technology is something that is always at the forefront of Mercedes models and that’s certainly the case with the C-Class. The latest models that we have available here feature a sharp 11.9-inch high-resolution multimedia colour display alongside a secondary readout ahead of the driver. 

It all runs the Mercedes MBUX software which provides a great range of media and navigation functions. You’ll find that a multifunction steering wheel will be fitted to most C-Class examples, too, and this allows the quick control of various functions without the need to take your hands away from the wheel.

Engine choices

Strong engines lie at the heart of the Mercedes-Benz experience, which is why you’ll find a range of powertrains available for the C-Class. Take the C300e, for example, which combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and 25.4kWh battery to deliver excellent efficiency alongside impressive performance. 

At the other end of the spectrum sits the Mercedes-AMG C63, which utilises a powerful 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine for supercar-rivalling acceleration. It’s accompanied by one of the best exhaust soundtracks in the business, too. 

Space

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a great choice for those drivers looking for a spacious new car. In saloon form, you’ve got space for five, with rear-seat passengers well catered for in terms of headroom. Those sitting up front have a great view of the road ahead, too, thanks to a large wraparound windscreen. 

There’s a good level of boot space, too. The latest C-Class offers up to 455 litres of luggage space, which is more than enough for several suitcases or a very large amount of shopping. Practicality remains at the forefront of the benefits that come with C-Class ownership. 

Specification

Regardless of which specification you opt for, you’re getting a lot of standard equipment with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. AMG Line versions, for example, bring a sporty exterior design with larger alloy wheels and reprofiled bumpers for a more dynamic look. Inside, you’ll find a large infotainment system alongside other convenience features such as digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity. 

Keyless entry and start is a common feature on the C-Class models we have here at Prestige Cars Kent, too, as are eye-catching illuminated door sills with Mercedes-Benz lettering.
