2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs. 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Whenever a vehicle is redesigned, many opinions are manifested from fear of change and excitement of innovation. Some people don't think things should be fixed unless they are broken. Others believe that growth and innovation are the most important aspects of any product. Mercedes-Benz belongs to the second group. Although the C400 is one of the most popular C-Class variants, Mercedes-Benz updated it with new technology and performance features that prompted a name change. In the case of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, did Mercedes-Benz hit one out of the park, or did it strike out? 

It order to better assess that question, we need to take a look at what sets them apart from each other. The C450 is the replacement for the C400, so both sedans still come with a standard 3.0-liter biturbo V6 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission. The differences between the two dwell inside the engine and the interior comfort category. The engine has been rebuilt to produce 33 more horsepower than the year before, and the interior cabin is now more user friendly and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
