The changes and updates are rather minor overall, but perfectly in line with what we’d expect - slightly tweaked aesthetics, extra tech, and a little more juice under the hood. The latest for the 2019 model year includes some tweaked styling for the exterior, and although the updates aren’t extensive, they do help to liven up the model a bit and keep it feeling as fresh as possible without a total redesign. The latest model year also adds two new exterior colors, dubbed Mojave silver metallic and emerald green metallic (we’re particularly excited to see the green on the C-Class!). In either case, the new C-Class delivers. S-Class fans will also be happy to learn that the C-Class now comes with an available fully digital display behind the steering wheel. By contrast, the fully digital display is 12.3-inches in the diagonal measurement, stretching clear across across the gauge pod. The included infotainment bundles a 7-inch high-res display and central rotary controller, AM/FM/HD Radio, dual USB audio ports, and Bluetooth streaming. • Standard Features - The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 comes standard with features such as a seven-inch high-resolution central screen, driver's seat memory, an integrated garage door opener, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more.

The look and feel of the C-class cabin is appropriately ritzy, and its design is similar to that of its costlier sibling, the S-class. The bumper design is also new, gaining restyled side intakes that plump up the fascia a bit and give it a slightly sportier appearance. The overall shape is retained though, with a single block design that stretches back into the fenders, increasing the front end’s “pointiness.” The new headlights are also offered with a Multibeam LED set-up for enhanced nighttime visibility, plus Ultra Range high beams to see even further down the road. This time around, the C-Class is offered with an optional open-pore anthracite oak wood trim, as well as new color schemes such as magma grey on black.

The 2017 C-Class from Mercedes-Benz offers a Driver Assist Package consisting of active lane-keeping assist and blind-spot detection. But the Mercedes C-Class is expected to have strong resale and residual values, and it won 2015’s Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award in the Luxury Car segment. Even the designo interior package didn't seem, for $3,800, too much of an indulgence; I'd rather have its nicely contrasted quilted leather than the AMG Line visual add-ons. Leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, and a digital gauge cluster highlight the list of standalone options. Even a C300 sedan with a steel suspension, 17-inch wheels, and synthetic leather feels more lively than the car that came before it. See all problems of the 2009 Mercedes Benz C300 . While we have yet to get the full spec sheet, we like what we see thus far. Takata recall headlights flickering when car is off also headlight randomly go off while driving on highway etc and when lights stay on it drains the car battery.
The new headlights utilize 84 individually controlled LEDs, which can automatically adjust as needed to suit the situation at hand, be it a lower light line for traffic situations and a higher line when you’re the only car traveling. Standard spec lower in the line tosses in silver trim, while the optional gear throws in chrome-plated trim. While we fully expect the new C-Class to once again offer gas options, diesel options (no diesel in the U.S., though), and a plug-in hybrid option, most of the official drivetrain specs are still under wraps. Update 02/27/2017: Another prototype of the 2018 Mercedes C-Class has been spotted doing more real world testing. We’ll update this section once we get the full info at the Geneva Motor Show, but until then, this is what we know. Update 7/6/2017: The facelifted Mercedes C-Class has found its way onto public roads again, this time wearing a near-production pair of fascias and a new grille.
On a more mundane level, the C-Class has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which lets passengers bypass the touchpad interface saddled on COMAND, the old-school Benz infotainment system. Overall, C300, along with other Mercedes Benz models, never fails to satisfy aesthetic expectations, but its operation, admittedly, remains limited in some cases. In addition to all of those features, the C 300 Cabriolet ($53,950) comes with heated front seats and Mercedes' Airscarf neck warmer. We haven't yet had a chance to drive this model, and the EPA hasn’t rated it, and Mercedes hasn’t priced it. Thanks to a series of cameras and radar systems, Merc says the C-Class can drive semi-autonomously “in certain situations.” Features include Active Distance Assist (which is basically active cruise control), Active Lane Change Assist, Active Emergency Stop Assist, and Active Steering Assist. Like that high-end luxury car, the C-Class is curvy, bold and beautiful. Chief among them is the 3 Series, Bimmer’s iconic luxury sedan lineup. When it comes to high-profile compact luxury sedans, the C-Class is pretty much the benchmark.
