Nowadays, you get the same look and feel of the flagship S-Class much lower in the Mercedes range.
The styling is the same, the tech is pretty much the same and bar a few exaggerations like a fridge or uber-expensive leather, you`re basically getting the same in a C-Class.
Mercedes doesn’t say this directly in the new C-Class ad for the United States, but in talking about the selectable driving modes, they`re actually confirming it. The ad is not about the C-Class having selectable driving modes, but about how it really suits everybody.
It’s a unique proposition in the class, probably the best built as well, and for people who aren’t into cars and don’t know each model, the fact that you’re driving a C- or S-Class really won’t matter. The design is the same and with that all-important badge its presence is assured.
