Here’s why we think the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a great option for cruising around Alhambra:

• HANDS-FREE ACCESS® is standard in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but requires an upgrade in the 3 Series. If you’ve ever struggled to open the trunk with your hands full, you know exactly how valuable this feature can be!

• The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan comes standard with a 12.3-inch central touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. While the 3 Series offers similar features as standard, they measure just 8.8 inches diagonally.
