2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Convertible Review

- Interior is impeccably crafted
- Many available cutting-edge features
- A range of high-horsepower engines available
- Clumsy touchpad infotainment interface
- C 300's optional sport suspension is rides too harshly
- Limited cargo room
- A few previously optional features are now standard
- Part of the fourth C-Class generation introduced for 2015
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is a versatile small luxury car in sedan, coupe and convertible body styles, each with the choice of three distinct engines. Its richly detailed cabin distinguishes it from cost-cutting forebears and exudes the quality that premium-car buyers expect. It's not the newest or most competitive car in the segment, but the C-Class is still a great buy, provided you check the right options boxes.
Performance
The C 300, when fitted with the optional sport-tuned suspension, feels planted and secure when driving around turns. The steering effort has an appropriate amount of heft at higher speeds, allowing for more precise and predictable control than you might expect from an entry-level convertible. The optional summer tires provide an almost surplus of grip.
Comfort
The well-insulated top keeps the interior comfortable when it's up, but the climate system is no match for the top down on a cool day. Again, with the top up, outside noise is barely noticeable. Stowing the top creates more wind buffeting than we expected, and the C 300 exhibits severe body shudder and shake on broken roads.
On the other hand, the front seats offer plenty of adjustment and lateral support. The padding is firm, but the contoured surfaces make them comfortable for long drives.
Interior
Otherwise, the cabin is quite nice. The front seats are spacious enough that tall adults won't feel confined, and the driver's seat offers a multitude of adjustments so you can find a perfect position. The back seat is predictably cramped for a luxury convertible, and the rear view is compromised by the small rear window and rear headrests.
The power top takes about 20 seconds to raise or lower, and it can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph. When stowed, the top is concealed under a nicely finished hard cover.
Technology
While it lacks the newest MBUX system found in new Benzes, the C-Class' voice recognition system is accurate, even with the top down at highway speeds. The advanced safety systems work well overall and avoid triggering false alarms.
Storage
As is typical for most small convertibles, a rear-facing child seat will simply not fit if there's a passenger in front. But at least the car-seat anchor points are clearly marked and easy to access.
Fuel Economy
Value
A four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty is average for the class, as is roadside assistance for the same parameters. Complimentary scheduled maintenance is not included.

Should I lease or buy a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
