2015 Mercedes-Benz C250 Review

The new C-Class offers top-notch craftsmanship, with a superb blend of soft-touch materials, genuine wood veneer trim and polished metal accents.

Gone is the button-busy centre-stack with that pointless telephone-style keypad. In its place is a wonderfully simple and elegant dash with a new floating infotainment screen taking centre stage.
It’s a high-resolution unit that’s controlled by either a touchpad or a more intuitive rotary dial. C-Class is also loaded with a raft of standard equipment.

Even the base model C200 has luxurious inclusions like ambient lighting with three different colours and five dimming levels, a 7.0-inch display with satellite navigation and touchpad control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, electrically adjustable front seats, keyless start, reverse-view camera and dual-zone climate control.

There’s also a Nappa leather-trimmed steering wheel with paddleshifters, auto wipers and headlamps, power windows with one-touch control, active parking assist, LED headlamps and daytime running lights, front and rear parking sensors, 18-inch alloy wheels and an electrically-operated boot.

The C250 improves the offering further by adding leather upholstery, 19-inch alloys, privacy glass, keyless entry and start and hidden stowage compartments under the front seats.

The new C-Class range also ups the ante in the safety stakes by adding a range of the latest active and passive tech including Attention assist, blind-spot assist, collision prevention assist plus and electronic stability program with acceleration skid control.
