The past few years have seen Mercedes-Benz product planners systematically make their way through the lineup, increasing AMG’s role, revamping the top-shelf S-class, and adding entry-level bait in the form of the CLA-class sedan and GLA-class SUV. Until now, they have essentially left the C-class (W204 in Benz-speak) to its own devices. A mild makeover a couple of years back improved its looks but failed to address its primary shortcoming: The BMW 3-series was a better car to drive. The 2015 C-class represents the maker at its Teutonic best, tenaciously addressing previous deficiencies with measured doses of technology and style.
One look and it’s clear that the seed that flowered into the C-class was collected from the same stock as that of the S-class. The long, sculpted hood, the trademark fascia, and the posterior design have strong S-class cues, although the C-class loses some of the big car’s grace from the C-pillar back. Chalk it up to scale. The smaller, tighter body of the C-class means its highly stylized rump appears a bit less natural than it does on the more generous proportions of the zaftig S-class.
