TCC’s Bottom Line

The entry-level 2020 Cadillac CT4 sedan presents a value that is quickly eroded by a lack of features standard on other luxury makes.

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

TCC Likes

Good infotainment
Smooth 10-speed automatic
Powerful 2.7-liter turbo-4

TCC Dislikes

No standard AEB
Monochrome interior
Cramped rear seats

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