C Class Does It Again!
Three years ago the new all redesigned C Class scooped the coveted Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) Luxury Car Of The Year Award. According to Bob Mchugh, (The Province: Nov 11, 2011) AJAC assembled over seventy experienced automotive journalists from all over Canada to evaluate the fifty-four newest entry automobiles on the market.Every vehicle entered in this competition was driven back-to-back against its competitors, on the same roads, on the same day and under the same conditions to ensure objective evaluations. The testing was done on both "real world" public roads and on a specially prepared high-speed evaluation track
In the BEST NEW LUXURY CAR segment, the accolade went to Mercedes-Benz C350 4Matic. The C-Class Sedan face lifted for 2012 saw unprecedented component and feature changes amounting to 2000 changes resulting in excellent body styling updates and an enhanced interior. Its 3.5 litre V6 turbo charged engine offers 302 horsepower and 273 lbs.-ft of torque, yet claims improved fuel efficiency
compared to the previous generation.
Judges were smitten by the C's design, the renowned quality of the brand, plus its overall performance
and exemplary ride and handling characteristics. The C-Class continues to offer some of the most
advanced safety features in this segment with a list that includes standard Attention Assist, Adaptive
High-beam Assist and Adaptive Brake.
The runners-up in this closely contested category were the Chrysler 300S and Acura TL. The Infiniti
M35h (which is a hybrid) had the fastest acceleration time to 100 km/hour in this group.
The Lexus CT200h (another hybrid) recorded the shortest stopping distance and was also a clear
winner for best fuel economy.
