The multifunction steering wheel itself remains typically large-diamter and of a four-spoke design, but is now thicker-rimmed and more tactile in the driver's hand. There are 2.8 turns lock-to-lock. Did you know?In usual Mercedes fashion, three specification levels of the C180 are offered. The base Classic version (as tested here) is said to have a classical, reserved air, with Elegance models offering extra external chrome striping, alloy wheels and a leather steering wheel, and Avantgarde versions displaying the C-class's most dynamic style via blue-tinted glass, 16-inch alloys and textured aluminium interior trimAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
