    Superb looking luxury sedan 

    The front look that i like the most in this car and the interior is looking like a wow with the big touchscreen and is completly customizable. The features in this car is very impressive and the space in both the rows is very good and the comfort level is also very good. The pickup of this luxury sedan is very decent but the initial acceleration is missing in this car. The engine is suitable to those people who wants relax driving and the engine size is small so it gives better fuel efficiency.

    Thrilled Yet Thoughtful 

    Buying the Mercedes Benz C Class was a dream come true for me. From the moment I took it for a test drive the 255 horsepower engine with turbocharger promised a thrilling experience. The luxurious interior adorned with high quality materials and the latest MBUX infotainment system featuring a 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster make every ride feel futuristic. The handling of the car is impeccable providing a smooth ride even on challenging roads. The rear seat space is a bit tight making it uncomfortable for adults on long trips.
