U.S. News & World Report

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class has a lineup of powerful engines, but with a suspension tuned more towards comfort than sport, it isn't the most dynamic car on the road. Look to the AMG variants if you want the best performance out of your C-Class. The extra power of the updated engine was greatly appreciated as we barreled along the open roads surrounding Gonnesweiler, Germany. In its element, the C43 remains rewarding to drive as ever. Its balanced chassis, chatty steering, and rear-biased all-wheel-drive system make for an engaging and enjoyable vehicle that almost makes up for the model's extremely firm ride quality. The suspension glides over the road and the cabin remains hushed, even when I get on the autobahn and stretch the car's legs a little bit in a limit-free section. The result is a happy little mill, delivering a healthy dose of grunt throughout the rev range with only small pockets of turbo lag on occasion.

Even in the upper revs, Mercedes' 2.0-liter retains its composure, avoiding the thrash and clatter that befalls other four-cylinders. The 2019 C-Class comes standard with rear-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is optional. The C-Class prioritizes a comfortable and plush ride quality over athletic handling, though handling is still respectable. Four selectable driving modes enhance different aspects of the car's performance. Throw it into a corner, and the C300 quickly reminds you that it's tuned for comfort, not agility, even with the suspension set to its Sport setting. Of course, if it's more chutzpah you're after, Mercedes offers the C-Class in C43 guise. And even though the nine-speed automatic delivers its gear changes in a mostly refined fashion, at times it was a little too eager to hold gears after a spirited start. But in a segment where every rival touts sportiness and athleticism, the C-Class can dish that out too. Toggling from the default Comfort mode to the Sport modes changes the car's personality in tangible ways. It's like it does a quick wardrobe change, switching from business wear to a fitness outfit. The car holds gears for faster and more aggressive acceleration, and optimizes the steering and chassis for athleticism. As a result, the 2019 C 300 turns into a more dynamic, fun-to-drive sedan. By our seat-of-the pants feel, it doesn't have quite the sharpness of a BMW 3 series or Audi A4, but it's respectably agile in corners and flingable enough to be fun.
