'08 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

In the field of luxury class sedans, a car that stays above the cut throat competition is the Mercedes’ all new 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Distinct sport and luxury features, ultra-responsive steering, superb handling, a ride as smooth as silk, complete audio-video system, an AI based COMAND controller and excellent body quality set this car a mile apart from the rest.

After being completely redesigned, the only thing the 2008 model finds in common with the 2006 model is the availability of two engines and the three pointed Mercedes star. A host of standard luxury amenities have also been introduced.

A welcome change in a dry market, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class will appeal to many. A fully up to date interior in terms of modernity of features and design is a highlight of this entry level deluxe sedan.

2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Taking a leaf out of their S-class series, Mercedes has redesigned the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class to be more stylish and more muscular looking at the same time. The car retains the same engine choices as last year, with C300 sporting a V-6 228 hp engine, and the C350 sporting a more powerful V-6 268 horsepower engine.

Consumers will find the typical three spoke steering that came with earlier models on the dashboard. The vehicle also features powered front seats, two zone ACC (automatic climate control), a moon-roof and bigger seats that leave more legroom for passengers.

There are a large array of optional add-ons like Xenon headlights, a Mercedes Command interface navigation system and leather upholstery to name a few. The trunk capacity is around 16.8 cubic feet, and the side-impact airbags are now located in the front seat for added safety.

The 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has excellent safety features like traction control, all wheel antilock brakes and electronic stability.
