The C-Class is genuinely a flagship car for Mercedes. Nearly every year, it's the top seller for the German automaker. The C-Class offers a luxury Mercedes experience, while still being (somewhat) affordable for the average professional. Facing healthy competition from German rivals, BMW and Audi, the C-Class has had to fight to stay at the top of its market. Thankfully, Mercedes has done an excellent job and continues to update the C-Class, with state-of-the-art tech and brilliant engines.

The C-Class is available in four body styles - the convertible Cabriolet, the classic Saloon, a sporty Coupe, and a practical Estate. The body style that is right for you depends on your circumstances. The Saloon is a happy medium between executive refinement and family practicality, while the Estate is clearly better for large families. The 2 door Coupe is all about style and is a blast to drive. Naturally, though, it isn't terribly practical for taking the kids to school. The convertible Cabriolet is all about good times, and it's perfect for a long weekend drive on a beautiful day.
Unlike many car manufacturers, Mercedes keeps it simple with the C-Class options. You have 3 trims to choose from - the SE, the Sport Edition, AMG and the range-topping AMG Line Edition. With a variety of engine options, you can really make your C-Class into a true performance car. While the AMG Line has the most sporty and premium features, the latest entry-level SE is pretty good value for money and offers an excellent variety of tech:
As one of the most essential models in the Mercedes range, the German automakers put a lot of time and money into making sure that the C-Class is at the top of its class. As such, the newest Mercedes-Benz C-Class is packed with great tech. Obviously, the features available will vary depending upon the model, trim, and year:
Mercedes-Benz is synonymous with luxury, and the C-Class fully embraces this. The interior is of very high quality, and sitting in the cockpit is a refined experience. The dashboard is relatively minimal and uncluttered. The design is excellent, with each dial and button serving a purpose. The C-Class doesn't go overboard with in-your-face tech and manages to strike a delicate balance between style and features. The C-Class is brilliant to drive, with sharp handling and acceleration. It's not quite as fun to drive as the likes of a BMW 3 Series, but it makes for a far more comfortable driving experience. Mercedes-Benz cars tend to hold their value well, so you'll be able to sell it down the line and get a decent bit of cash back.
