2012 mercedes-benz c-class review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New coupe models, and major upgrades for the sedans. introductionthe compact mercedes-benz c-class is the least expensive of the brand's offerings. Yet it's no less a mercedes-benz. For drivers who want something sportier, the sport models provide that. The c-class chassis tells the driver exactly what the car is doing. And it does this without taking away any of the refinement or comfort that makes driving one a fatigue-free process. most c-class models come with rear-wheel drive, but 4matic all-wheel drive is available for improved active safety and winter weather capability. compared with luxury models, sport models use wider rear tires and wheels, sit more than half an inch lower, use firmer suspension settings, and get a three-spoke steering wheel. The luxury models ride smoother and are more comfortable for commuting, running errands and everyday driving. The sport models are quite sporty and fun to drive on a winding road or at elevated speeds on the open highway. Sport sedans use a different grille with the mercedes-benz ringed star in the middle, while the luxury models have the star perched on top of the hood. Sport models also use amg-style deeper front air dams, side skirts and rear aprons. Amg versions are distinguished by unique styling cues as well. the c-class is not a big car, so tall drivers and business-people who transport clients will find they need something bigger, such as an e-class. But among its primary competition the c-class is more than merely in the game; it's a real player. lineupthe 2012 mercedes-benz c-class is offered in coupe and sedan body styles.

The optional bi-xenon headlights also have c-shaped positioning lights. At the rear, the new bumper leaves room for a more pronounced lower diffuser, visually lightening the rear end, and the taillights add leds. the c-class has a wide grille reminiscent of the big cls-class and cl-class coupes. The look is more noticeable on the c-class sport models, which have a different front end than the luxury versions. The sport has fewer grille bars and they are painted silver. It also features the mercedes star front and center. Luxury models have a chrome grille with more slats, no star, and the traditional stand-up hood ornament. The major character line starts behind the front wheels and gets heavier as it rises to the rear, squeezing the window line ever tauter, and ending at the top of the tail lamp opening. The hood seam carries from headlight corner to the base of the window on each side. Wheels play a big part too, the sport cars using twin-spoke wheels with some attitude while the luxury versions use finer, more elegant wheels. the c-class coupe has the sport face. The coupe's dimensions are similar to those of the sedan. The rear of the roof drops down in a more elegant arc and there is a kickup at the bottom rear of.
