Used 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for Sale near Richmond, VA

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a rakish compact luxury car offered in sedan, coupe, and convertible (“Cabriolet”) body styles.

The sedan provides 12.6 cubic feet of trunk space. The coupe provides 10.5 cubic feet, and the Cabriolet has just 8.8 cubic feet (with the top up). The C-Class Cabriolet’s convertible top can open or close in 20 seconds even while the car is in motion, at speeds up to 31 mph.

The Cabriolet also includes Mercedes-Benz’s Airscarf neck-level heating system for top-down driving well into colder months. Standard features on the C-Class sedan include 18-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, LED ambient cabin lighting, a power sunroof, and heated, power-adjustable front seats. The C-Class also comes with a fully digital instrument panel and a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Note that the coupe and Cabriolet run an older version of the infotainment system that requires using a controller in the center console to operate the system.
