2022 Mercedes C-Class - Wonderful Sedan!

For some reason, Mercedes-Benz seems intent on tying the fate of the S-Class with that of the smaller C-Class. Whenever a new flagship appears, you can bet your hat that a redesigned compact sedan isn’t far off, usually following the styling and technology trends that its bigger sibling sets. That’s the case with the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which arrives at US dealers this month in C300 form – AMG variants will follow later.

I recently took a spin in a loaded C300 Pinnacle 4Matic (the new flagship trim level), keen to see if it could live up to the Star Award-winning S-Class. As with most new Mercedes, the new C-Class boasts a wafting ride (yet good body control), technology that’s easy to use, and reasonable performance given its base-model positioning. Of course, it’s less than half the price of an S-Class, so there are some compromises in terms of cabin materials – acceptable at its $44,600 base price but a bit eyebrow-raising at my tester’s $62,520 sticker. But for the most part, the new C-Class lives up to the Mercedes-Benz mystique.

A vehicle's verdict is relative only to its own segment and not the new-vehicle market as a whole. For more on how Motor1.com rates cars, click here.
