The C-Class and especially the last generation W204 did not live up to its class. The BMW 3 Series has long had the same numbers as the C-Class, both in terms of dynamics and sales. For its part, the Audi A4 is considered more attractive, more luxurious and generally more popular. Now the next C-Class is expected, with features that have long been implemented by the 3 Series BMW and cars that want to be like the 3 Series BMW. And what about the new one now?Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2015out of? Read on!

The driving experience of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
With theMercedes-Benz C-Class 2015The automaker is probably trying to build a smaller version of the S-Class rather than a competitor to the 3 Series. The C-Class is based on a luxurious driving experience. The air suspension of the C250 or C300 is particularly comfortable on open stretches of highway and on cobbled roads. The brake feels typically “Mercedes” and engages as soon as the upper part of the pedal is pressed. If you suddenly turn the steering wheel, you will notice that the rear suspension is not long enough. Things look completely different with the more powerful and heavier C400. It comes with all-wheel drive as standard. Combined with the heavier V6 engine, it's clear that the balance falls more forward. In contrast to the C250 or C300, the steering was not very remarkable. The ride was both rockier and rougher, but all the more comfortable. The transmission could use some changes and the suspension probably needs a change. The trunk that doesn't always close and the air conditioning that doesn't want to blow cold are things that left a negative impression.
