Mercedes-Benz No. 1: C-Class: Before you even hit the gas, you’ll be impressed by my sleek looks. I’m available in sedan, cabriolet and coupe styles. Car and Driver says I look like a miniature S-Class, my flagship cousin, inside and out. I have one of the nicest interiors in the compact luxury car class, with high-quality materials and finishes everywhere you look. Providing top-notch comfort to driver is my specialty.

Mercedes-Benz No. 2: GLC-Class: What’s your fancy – four-door coupe or standard SUV? I offer both body styles, with the sloped roof giving me an especially sporty look. Like my C-Class cousin, I have one of the nicest interiors in the luxury compact SUV segment. I satisfy with a fun drive and sharp cornering.

Mercedes-Benz No. 3: GLA-Class: I’m spacious in both rows of seats for a subcompact luxury SUV. My interior isn’t quite as opulent as other Mercs, but at my price point, I’m a good entry into the luxury segment (and when you shop at EchoPark, you’ll save even more). Fold my back seats down and you get 50.5 cubic feet of cargo space, so let’s get those suitcases packed for a romantic getaway. My ride is described as smooth and I love a winding road.
