The new 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is absolutely premium compact with a seductive mix of performance, comfort, and safety. This model comes with an even stronger inline-4 turbocharged 1.8L engine. It produces 201 horsepower, giving the feel of a smooth and enjoyable ride while driving. It’s a high-speed vehicle, capable of reaching a top speed of 146 mph, and a rear-wheel-drive system to handle corners and high-speed driving with ease.
The design that will make people go hails is the exterior of the C-Class, with sleekness, elegance, and timelessness. It comes in many colors, including Arctic White, Palladium Silver Metallic, and Black. It delivers an effortlessly classic appeal, so if you’re a luxury car buyer seeking this, then the C-Class fits the bill. Sharp lines, sophisticated details, elegance, and performance are radiated in the overall design. Sporty stance comes through the 17-inch alloy wheels and a low ground clearance at 4.5 inches.
Inside, the cabin strikes a balance between luxury and practicality. Leatherette upholstery, twin-zone automatic climate control, and 12.4 cubic feet of trunk space ensure a long drive is without fatigue. An infotainment system with a 5.8-inch display boasting CD and USB connectivity keeps passengers occupied and connected for those long drives. But, the cabin does show its age in terms of some of those features – for example, no push-start function and a DVD player might feel a mite dated these days.
The C-Class is exceptional in terms of safety with 8 airbags, ABS, traction control, and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to make driving a boon for confidence. It’s a great choice for family use as well, provided features such as speed-sensing auto door locks and child seat anchors (ISOFIX).
On the dynamics side, its multi-link suspension system absorbs road bumps in a fantastic manner to deliver a smooth and comfortable ride. The 7-speed automatic transmission shifts very smoothly, and fuel efficiency is respectful at 24 mpg combined.
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz C-Class remains one of the strong competitors in the luxury compact sedan market, offering high levels of refinement, safety, and value.
