Trimmed with high-quality interior materials, the C-Class interiors look and feel like Mercedes-Benz. Their firm, supportive seats are supremely comfortable.The Mercedes switchgear is easy to use and understand. The stalk controls have a nice, beefy feel with positive detents. The deeply hooded instrument panel is shared among the coupe, sedan and wagon with minor variations. We like the layout and decor of the center stack, with its wood or aluminum trim and large controls for the audio system and climate controls.
The glovebox is a good size unless you order the CD player, in which case you lose most of it, although you'll still have the center console and big door pockets. Still, we'd like more places to stash things. Overhead is a console with nice map lights.
Sedans get leather interior trim. The C32 AMG has its own special sport seats and premium leather upholstery. The sport coupe comes standard with cloth seats with individual manual adjusters.
The rear seats in the C-Class sedans are generous in space and comfort. A power rear sunshade makes this feel like a real Benz. Hit the trunk button and the lid pops all the way open, something most trunk lids do not do. A C-Class sedan offers 12.2 cubic feet of cargo space, significantly more than a BMW 3 Series sedan.
