Externally, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class was only slightly changed. However, a lot has happened under the tin. A good 50 percent of the vehicle has been renewed or revised. The result are completely new four-cylinder engines and assistance systems on the level of the S-Class. But there is more to discover.
My report of the test drive in the C220 d T-model and the AMG C 43 Coupé shows what the new C-Class offers in detail.
