For 2015, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class vehicle is totally redesignd. It's more broadened and possibly more far reaching, with a roomier and more sweet cabin trimmed in top-quality materials. New engines furthermore show up. The C-Class auto models proceed with inconsequential quirk changes.

The C-Class has long been Mercedes-Benz's entry level auto for North America and the auto that most commonly welcomes people to the Mercedes brand. Regardless starting late the association has introduced the less sumptuous CLA-Class and GLA models to be the new "youngster Benzes." That's offered room to the totally upgraded 2015 C-Class to climb a bit higher the extent that luxury and regard. Somewhat more and significantly lighter, the redesigned 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class auto advances its compelling formula with new four- and six-barrel engines, world-class internal part refinement and security offers that lead the section.

In the U.s., the C-Class vehicle dispatches with C300 4matic and C400 4matic models. The C300 uses a turbocharged four-chamber engine while the C400 gets a turbocharged V6. Both engines are joined to a seven-rate customized transmission running power to a standard all-wheel-drive structure. A back drive C300 vehicle arrives sooner than obliged 2015, while an alternate time roadster, a diesel demonstrate, a module hybrid and a prevalent C63 AMG model will inescapably round out the lineup. For the present, C-Class roadster models amplify unaltered beside minor trick changes.

The new C-Class auto incorporates 3 inches of wheelbase and grows 3.7 inches general. It's similarly 1.6 creeps more broad. Secondary lounge voyagers advantage most from the advancement spurt, picking up around two more slithers of legroom and settling one of the C-Class' routine drawbacks. Despite its advancement, the auto sheds 200 pounds with a body and suspension that is in no time around 50 percent aluminum. An alternate suspension setup improves dealing with and controlling, while an optional leveling to oneself air suspension - a discontinuity in this class - is also open to give an unmatched level of ride comfort.

Any new C-Class reminds us that Mercedes takes its security and driver support tech really. An alternate standard effect lightening skeleton can characteristically brake the auto if the driver fails to respond to an approaching accident. Optional skeletons can take after a vehicle ahead and give administering help at paces under 37 mph. Way keeping help can moreover apply braking to whichever side of the auto buoys out of its way. 

In this snappy moving partition, the C-Class redesign is advantageous. The 2015 BMW 3 Series still gives the C-Class its hardest run for the money, in spite of the way that the execution and intensity opening between the two is no all the more so wide. The 2015 Audi A4's in the current style arrangement and brilliant internal part make it what might as well be called its European enemies, while the 2015 Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS and Infiniti Q50 are also exemplary arrangement B. At any rate for its mixof praiseworthy excess with front line style, setup and solaces, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is hard to beat.

Inside Design and Special Features 

Style and class are indications of Mercedes-Benz internal parts, however the 2015 C-Class passes on an alternate level of visual panache. Whether upholstered in standard MB-Tex made cowhide or the optional genuine article, the hotel attributes momentous materials quality and a cool contemporary diagram. Gateway sheets wire wood, sensitive touch surfaces and metallic hassles, and fuse immovably with the dash and instrument board. It's an unmistakable break from standard Benz humble representation of reality and its no shock to find that the hotel was achieved by Mercedes' layout studio in Italy.

With included length, the new C-Class auto addresses a past insufficiency. Back explorers now get 35.2 inches of legroom, up around 2 inches from a year prior's model. It's not a discriminating augmentation among the class - the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series offer the same - anyway it does make the C-Class more forceful. Trunk space furthermore gets to be sort of, now up to 12.8 cubic feet. The standard front seats are gathered for entire arrangement comfort, and even the firmer amusement seats keep driver and explorer snuggled up without shortcoming.

The two-portal, on the other hand, is still roadster ishly bound in the rearward sitting game plan. Legroom measures up against whatever is left of the parcel, however headroom is nonexistent for anyone taller than around.

The new C-Class gets an overhauled infotainment and course interface with a standard 7-inch or optional 8.4-inch tabletlike show. Both are changed, disengaged demonstrates that look like an ipad perched within vents, the sole bit of inelegance in a by and large astonishing hotel. An alternate touchpad interface is at present furthermore standard for the COMAND infotainment structure, which is still our most cherished from a lavishness automaker.

Drifting over the routine dial controller, the touchpad mirrors such tablet and trackpad motions as swiping, crushing and tapping. You can moreover take after letters and numbers from the start, for inputting a street address for example, yet we found that that obliges a patient and steady hand to make anything better than chicken scratches. The touchpad is a smooth thought, however takes some getting used to. We imagined that it was snappier to get to various limits using the dial-and-get controller.

The brilliant response from the C300's turbocharged four-barrel makes it feel barely a larger number of able than the greater V6-filled C400. Obviously, the V6's additional 90 quality offers the vibe of colossal Benz expanding speed in a little auto group. There's no disrespect in picking the turbo-four, in any case. Despite the way that it creates a harsh, un-Mercedes-like racket in the motor when the driver solicitations max power, its a coincidental tribute to make for profitable customary low-end force and mileage.

All C-Class vehicles go hand in hand with four drive modes (called Agility Select) that adjust throttle, transmission and controlling response. The optional Airmatic air suspension offers a further level of ride-quality refinement. An execution tuned suspension gives the C-Class Sport variety a firmer ride around town, furthermore makes it the more sharpened instrument for vivacious drives on curving avenues.

The C250 roadster's tinier four-chamber isn't precisely as extreme as the turbocharged fours in the Audi A5 or BMW 428i, then again its still a serene and refined power plant. The C350 roadster's compellingly responsive V6 and back wheel-drive dealing with settle on it the fan choice, while the C63 AMG's snarling V8 and world-class dealing with exhibit that this old-world brand is not over a bit of new-world hooliganism.

Despite trim, the C-Class is gathered for long haul comfort. We drove for a couple of hours in succession in a Sport model outfitted with amusement seats (tighter shape, more affirmed side and thigh strengthens) and not in any case once longed for a comfier perch.
