The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a compact executive car type. First introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the 190 range. The C-Class was the smallest model in the marque's lineup until the arrival of the A-Class in 1997. For 2012 year's model, 2012 The Mercedes-Benz C-Class, several key revision has made, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class reaffirms its status as one of the best luxury sport sedans while chiseling out a similar position with its new coupe model.

The 2012 The Mercedes-Benz C-Class delivers the expected levels of advanced engineering, design and safety features that keep it highly competitive within the entry luxury segment. For 2012, a stunning new coupe model joins the lineup. The most obvious addition for 2012 is the new C-Class coupe, which gives Mercedes a more affordable entry in the two-door segment than the old CLK. Shared between both coupe and sedan is revised styling, with more curvaceous headlamps and better integrated LED running lights. The interior also has been reworked with higher-quality materials, a more visually interesting design and a fixed display screen in lieu of the old pop-up unit.

This  2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class's interior was always well crafted, but it gets even better for 2012, with upgraded switchgear and a more eye-pleasing design. The controls are straightforward for this class of car, and Mercedes' optional COMAND electronics interface is fairly easy to use; the iPod interface is particularly user-friendly and quick to respond. The COMAND screen no longer pops out of the dash like before, and it seems like a good change to us, as it's a cleaner look and one less thing to go wrong.
