Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Mercedes-Benz is launching a redesigned C-Class sedan for the 2027 model year with a 482-hp electric powertrain and several new high-tech features. These are the four things that most stood out to us.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is tightening its crash-test requirements for its coveted Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards, resulting in fewer winners for 2025.

Just a few model years out from an overhaul that saw its AMG performance variants undergo a tectonic shift, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan is little changed for 2025.

After its last round of testing for the year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has awarded 19 vehicles Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ status.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that since it started testing seat belt reminders in 2022, automakers have responded with improved ratings for model-year 2023-25 vehicles.

In a battery of tests evaluating driver-assist features for seven different parameters, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave not one of 14 tested systems its top rating of good.

The 71 vehicles that qualified for the awards for 2024 is an increase of 23 over 2023, when stricter requirements began to take effect.

The latest recall is an expansion of a June recall that affected some 143,000 vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz is recalling more than 143,000 of its model-year 2021-23 vehicles over an issue that could cause a loss of drive power.

The redesigned 2023 C300 has a lot to offer, including a stylish new exterior, a high-tech powertrain that provides brisk acceleration and decent fuel economy, responsive handling, and the requisite upscale interior loaded with tech and features.
