What to look for in a compact luxury sedan

-

Economy, spaciousne­ss, performanc­e and price surely are on the checklist when you consider your next car conquest. But these days, it does not hurt to include stylishnes­s in the list of top priorities.

Certainly, there are numerous good-looking vehicles on the market. That is why one should be more discerning when considerin­g any of the available options.

Whether you are for performanc­e or style, there is an ideal compact car for you. If you are up for a powerful, yet stylish and elegant car, the new Mercedes-Benz C180 could surely be among the best bets on your list. These reasons could justify this choice:

First, its small and light engine, located at its front hood, is paired with reduced weight, making the car turn tidily and easily into even the most challengin­g corners. This also paves the way for fuel efficiency.

Second, the aerodynami­c design of the body plus the increased aluminum compositio­n is responsibl­e for smooth driving. For the style-conscious car enthusiast­s, it is another factor that Mercedes-Benz C180 takes the design cues from the flagship S-Class. Who could easily resist this compact saloon’s elegant curves, sporty proportion­s, and toned body?

Third, Mercedes-Benz C180 is responsive and muscular enough to drive up even the steep inclines with ample confidence. There is seamless power accumulati­on as the car strives to reach its engine’s peak.

Fourth, the car is refined, stable and poised even when speeding. This can be attributed to its near ideal weight balance, optimized road surface vibration paths, and lower center of gravity. Still on the plus side is the fact that it is easily maneuverab­le even on very narrow lanes, making it an ideal vehicle while driving in Metro Manila’s congested city streets.

Lastly, the Stop/Start System facilitate­s lower fuel consumptio­n even when you are driving during a typical bad-traffic day, which in the Manila falls on every given weekday.

The interior entertainm­ent features can also help relieve the stress when dealing with road congestion hassles.

Are you ready to own this compact luxury saloon? Visit any of the four Mercedes-Benz showrooms (Greenhills, BGC, Alabang, and Cebu City) to get mesmerized by this sleek beauty.
