2015 Mercedes-Benz C400

The C-Class sedan is all-new this year.

As the senior C-Class sedan, the C400 carries an all-new turbocharged 3-liter V6 boasting 329 horsepower and fuel-saving stop-start technology. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a seven-speed automatic transmission. Despite an overall increase in size, the sedan has shed 200 pounds thanks to a body that's 50 percent aluminum. The standard sport-tuned suspension system maximizes the C400's grip, and you can now order a self-leveling air suspension for optimal ride comfort. Styling elements inside and out are provided by AMG, the company's in-house performance shop. Rounding out the important changes is a standard collision mitigation system with automatic braking.

The C400 starts out with 18-inch AMG wheels (19s available), LED headlamps, Bluetooth phone and audio, power leatherette seats with front heat and driver memory, an in-car WiFi hotspot and a 13-speaker Burmester audio system with satellite radio.

The Interior package adds leather upholstery, ventilated front seats and ambient cabin lighting. There's a Multimedia package with navigation and a rearview camera. The Driver Assistance package comes with adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and lane-keeping assist. With the Lighting package, you get active full LED headlamps with curve illumination and automatic high-beam control, plus LED taillamps.

Individual options are numerous and include a panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, keyless ignition, a cabin fragrance system and a power-closing trunk. Some of the contents of the the option packages are available separately if you don't want to spring for the whole bundle.
