Traditionally seen as the entry point to the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the C-Class sedan has stepped up in class with the new 2022 model. With numerous new features and updates to both the exterior and interior, it makes a strong argument for sitting at the top of its class. Here we take a closer look at some of the new features that set the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class apart. Basics About the Mercedes-Benz 2022 C-Class Available in spring 2022, the new C-Class sedan continues its move upmarket with significant upgrades to the cabin that will delight drivers looking for convenience and comfort. Featuring a rear-drive platform with an all-wheel-drive option, it comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 255-hp. While the previous C-Class offered features a la carte, the 2022 version is available in three trim levels: Premium, Exclusive, and Pinnacle. The base Premium trim includes MBUX information controls along with a sunroof, heated seats, an 11.9-inch touchscreen, active braking assist, and a parking damage detection system. The Exclusive trim includes all of this plus active parking assistance, a Burmester 3D surround-sound system, wireless charging, and enhanced ambient lighting. The Pinnacle trim has all of this plus augmented-reality head-up display and navigation. New/Unique Features Starting on the outside, the 2022 C-Class receives some nice style updates with a cab-backward exterior design that is slightly longer and wider than its previous version. Its A-shaped grille features an open-star pattern that accompanies updated LED headlights and five new exterior color options. While these new exterior touches are certainly appealing, major updates to the interior truly set this new Mercedes-Benz sedan apart from its competitors. The best-in-class 11.9-inch touchscreen is paired with a 12.3-inch digital driver instrument panel, and these displays capitalize on the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience system (MBUX). There's advanced voice control in addition to 50% more processing power which enables a 360-degree camera and augmented video for navigation. Nappa leather upholstery complements open-pore wood trim and three interior color options. Safety Features An impressive collection of safety features includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot assist, and attention assist. An optional driver assistance package also brings advanced adaptive cruise control with route-based speed adaptation and stop-and-go traffic assist. There is also active steering assist, lane-keeping assist, lane change assist, and a unique feature that moves the front seat passenger away from the impact zone in the event of a crash. Anti-lock brakes increase the ability to turn the vehicle while braking, and there are front, side, overhead, and knee airbags to help protect passengers in the event of a crash. With excellent safety features, an elegant and athletic exterior, and exceptional interior design and functionality, the new 2022 C-Class is a terrific addition to the superb Mercedes-Benz lineup. It sits among the best options in its class and is sure to meet and exceed the expectations of anyone looking for a first-class luxury sedan.

Google searches for "Is now a good time to buy a car" have significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. That search might even be what landed you on this page. As health concerns continue, the impact on the economy continues to rise. During March, when the pandemic in the U.S. started to worsen, the automotive industry saw a 39% drop in sales compared to 2019. Sales figures by volume are the lowest they have been since the 2008 recession. With the stock market up and down, small businesses struggling, and many Americans out of work, is now really the best time to buy a car? That answer will vary for each individual and their own personal situation, but there are lots of reasons that make buying a car today, a viable option for consumers. If you’ve been home watching TV, you may have seen commercials from automotive manufacturers and dealerships offering programs to support customers. Payment deferrals, low finance rates, and increasing the opportunity to shop 100% online are a few of the common messages you might have seen. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider purchasing a new or used vehicle during this time: Low finance rates Dramatically low interest rates can save you upwards of thousands of dollars when financing a new or used vehicle. Right now at Loeber Motors, buyers can take advantage of 0% APR financing for 36 months on select new and certified pre-owned vehicles or 0% APR Financing for 120 days on Mercedes-Benz vans. Delayed payments and payment credits Initial payment flexibility can help if you’re in need of a new vehicle (or want to take advantage of low prices) during challenging times. Right now, Loeber Motors is offering: No payments for 90 days Plus First Month Payment Credit up to $750 when you purchase a new Mercedes-Benz vehicle No payments for 120 days when you purchase a Mercedes-Benz van Receive up to 5 months payment credit on your current Mercedes-Benz financial services lease with the purchase of an eligible new 2019 or 2020 Mercedes-Benz. Great, affordable options on pre-owned vehicles With an influx of pre-owned vehicles on the lot, dealerships are offering special programs on used and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles as well. Additionally, with used vehicles typically coming in at a lower price point, this may be a viable option for customers who are in need of a car, but feeling the financial impacts of the pandemic. This month, take advantage of 0% APR financing for 36 months on select CPO Mercedes-Benz vehicles at Loeber Motors. It’s safe and easy to do online Like many businesses, auto dealers have dramatically shifted their business models to an online-first approach. While the Loeber Motors showroom is still open by appointment, we understand the importance of staying home if you can. Our team is committed to providing a safe and clean environment to keep business as usual for our customers who visit the dealership. However, we’re also available to accommodate any car buying needs online and over the phone. You can even purchase your vehicle 100% online and we’ll deliver it right to your door (Home delivery is complimentary). Service departments remain open with increased sanitation procedures Automotive service is considered an essential business and most parts and service departments have remained open - allowing you to service your new vehicle if needed after purchase. At Loeber Motors, our service staff has increased the frequency of cleaning and sanitation procedures throughout the department and has implemented enhanced procedures including proper and thorough disinfection and employees are utilizing gloves and steering wheel covers. These offers are for a limited time While automotive incentives are offered throughout the year, these historically low rates and combined programs may not be around forever. Eventually, the economy will see an upswing, and the current offers may not come around again anytime soon. As demonstrated after the 2008 recession, auto sales hit record levels, skyrocketing from a low of 10.4 million in 2009, to more than 17 million from 2015 through 2019. Visit loebermercedes.com to learn more about this month’s special offers. Car insurance During this time, many insurers are offering payment relief, grace periods, and discounts for those who are not commuting every day. Also, if you have some extra time at home, now can also be a good time to research less expensive insurance options if you have had the same policy for an extended period of time. Low gas prices On average, gas prices have dropped more than a dollar per gallon compared to this time last year and in some places, have not been this low since 2002. If you’re in need of a new vehicle while maintaining a strict budget during this time, low gas prices can help offset the initial cost of your new investment. But keep in mind, these prices will eventually go back up as the economy restabilizes. Help stimulate the economy and support local business Many of these strategies are not only in place to help car buyers, but also encourage lending, accelerate consumer spending, and help stabilize the economy. If you’re in a comfortable situation to purchase a new vehicle right now, you can save by taking advantage of limited-time offers and support local businesses, like Loeber Motors, which has been family-owned for three generations and almost 85 years. Whether or not to purchase a new vehicle largely depends on your situation and needs for your personal commute or business. Whether you need a new vehicle, van, or service, Loeber Motors is here to help get you through these challenging tim es. * See dealer for details on offers listed in this blog post*
