TCC’s Bottom Line

Don’t tell the 2020 Genesis G70 it’s new to the luxury sedan game, it’s a genuine contender already.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is as gorgeous inside as it is outside, and it has moves to match.

TCC Likes

Great performance
Handsome interior
Good exterior looks, too

Have it your way body styles
All of which are gorgeous
Strong powertrain lineup

TCC Dislikes

Rear seats are cramped
V-6 is an expensive proposition
Stiff ride

Manual would be nice
Hefty pricetag
Rear-seat and cargo space just so-so
