Mercedes sold over 2.2 million version of the previous C-Class. That means that one in five Mercedes sold worldwide is a C-Class and so this all-new model has some pretty big shoes to fill.
The new C-Class takes more than a few cues from the S-Class. It's bigger, more luxurious, and more hi-tech than ever before. The new C-Class is 80mm longer between the wheels than the old car and 95mm longer overall, and you really do feel that difference in the back. There's a lot more legroom, and headroom is decent as well.
The upgrade to the design in the interior is even greater than that on the outside. It's classier inside than the old car - the design's a lot more satisfying
