Cruise Control
Standard cruise control in the C240 Luxury allows drivers to maintain a set speed without continuous acceleration. This feature is particularly useful for long highway drives, reducing fatigue and enhancing comfort. While many vehicles offer cruise control, the Mercedes-Benz system is designed for smooth operation and ease of use, distinguishing it from basic versions found in competitors.
Power Windows with One-Touch Up/Down
Power windows equipped with one-touch functionality allow for effortless operation, enabling users to open or close windows with a single press. This feature enhances convenience, particularly for the driver, who can adjust the windows without distraction. Compared to manual windows, this system offers greater ease of use and modernity.
Remote Keyless Entry
Remote keyless entry allows for easy access to the vehicle without needing to physically unlock the doors with a key. This feature enhances security and convenience, as it enables the driver to unlock the car from a distance. As a standard feature in the C240 Luxury, it offers a modern touch compared to vehicles that still rely on traditional keys.
Automatic Headlights
Automatic headlights in the C240 Luxury trim enhance driving convenience by adjusting the headlight intensity based on ambient light conditions. This feature allows drivers to focus more on the road without worrying about manually switching the headlights on or off. Compared to manual systems found in lower trims or some competitors, this feature adds a layer of sophistication and ease of use.
Interior
Leather Upholstery
The C240 Luxury trim features premium leather upholstery, enhancing the elegance of the interior. This luxurious material not only provides a sophisticated look but also offers comfort and durability. Unlike synthetic materials, genuine leather breathes well, ensuring a pleasant seating experience even on longer drives. The C240's leather is complemented by meticulous stitching, showcasing the high-quality craftsmanship expected from Mercedes-Benz.
Wood Trim Accents
The interior of the C240 Luxury is adorned with rich wood trim accents that elevate its premium feel. These accents are strategically placed on the dashboard, door panels, and center console, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. This feature sets the Luxury trim apart from sportier variants, emphasizing comfort and sophistication over a more aggressive design.
Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel
A leather-wrapped steering wheel adds a touch of luxury and comfort, providing a premium feel while driving. This feature enhances grip and control, making it easier to handle the vehicle, especially on longer journeys. Compared to standard plastic or rubber steering wheels, it signifies the luxury focus of the C240 Luxury trim.

Exterior
17-inch Alloy Wheels
The C240 Luxury comes standard with stylish 17-inch alloy wheels that enhance both the aesthetics and performance of the vehicle. These wheels not only contribute to a sophisticated appearance but also support better handling and ride quality compared to standard steel wheels. The lightweight design aids in fuel efficiency and responsiveness, making the C240 a more enjoyable drive.
Fog Lights
Fog lights are designed to improve visibility in low-visibility conditions, such as fog, rain, or snow. Positioned lower on the vehicle, these lights cast a wide, low beam that reduces light reflection off the fog, enhancing safety. The inclusion of fog lights on the C240 Luxury trim elevates its functionality compared to trims without this feature.
Adaptive Headlights
Adaptive headlights in the C240 Luxury automatically adjust the direction and intensity of the headlight beams based on the vehicle's speed and steering angle. This feature enhances nighttime visibility and safety, providing better illumination of curves and corners compared to standard headlights found in some other trims.
Front Fog Lights
The front fog lights are designed to illuminate the road directly in front of the vehicle, improving visibility during foggy or rainy conditions. Positioned lower on the vehicle, these lights spread a wide beam of light that reduces the amount of light reflecting off the fog, ensuring safer navigation in adverse weather. This feature enhances the vehicle's exterior aesthetics while providing practical benefits over standard headlights.
Front and Rear Spoilers
The front and rear spoilers are designed to enhance the vehicle's aerodynamics and aesthetic appeal. They contribute to improved stability at higher speeds by reducing lift. While many competitors offer basic styling options, the C240 Luxury’s spoilers are finely integrated to maintain its elegant design while providing functional benefits.
Safety
Stability Control System
The C240 Luxury is equipped with an advanced stability control system that helps maintain traction and control during slippery conditions or sharp turns. This feature works in conjunction with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) to prevent skidding and loss of control, enhancing overall safety. It is a standard feature in this trim, providing peace of mind compared to models without such technology.
Side Airbags
The C240 Luxury includes side airbags as part of its comprehensive safety package. These airbags deploy in the event of a side collision, providing additional protection for the driver and passengers. This feature enhances occupant safety significantly, making it a critical component of the vehicle's overall safety profile, especially compared to trims that may not offer such extensive airbag coverage.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheel lockup during hard braking, maintaining steering control and stability. This feature is crucial for enhancing safety during emergency stops and adverse weather conditions. Compared to vehicles without ABS, it significantly reduces the risk of skidding, providing added confidence for drivers.
Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror
The auto-dimming rearview mirror reduces glare from headlights of vehicles behind you, enhancing nighttime driving safety. This feature automatically adjusts the mirror’s tint based on ambient light conditions, providing a clearer view without the need for manual adjustments. Many vehicles in this class do not offer this level of convenience and safety.
Parktronic Parking Assistance
Parktronic Parking Assistance uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles around the vehicle while parking. This feature provides visual and audible alerts to help drivers navigate tight spaces more safely and confidently. Compared to basic rearview cameras, Parktronic offers a comprehensive approach to parking by monitoring the vehicle's surroundings, making it a valuable addition for urban drivers or those new to parking larger sedans.
Entertainment
Bose Premium Sound System
The C240 Luxury offers an optional Bose premium sound system, delivering exceptional audio quality through strategically placed speakers throughout the cabin. This high-fidelity system features surround sound capabilities, providing an immersive listening experience for all passengers. Compared to standard audio systems, the Bose system offers richer sound and greater clarity, making it a popular choice for audiophiles.
In-Dash CD Player
The in-dash CD player allows for seamless playback of audio CDs, providing high-quality sound in the cabin. This feature complements the premium Bose sound system, enhancing the overall audio experience. While many modern vehicles have moved to digital formats, the inclusion of a CD player caters to those who still enjoy physical media, maintaining versatility in audio options.

Steering wheel-mounted audio controls provide convenient access to volume and track selection without taking hands off the wheel. This feature enhances driver focus and safety by minimizing distractions. Compared to other trims, the C240 Luxury's inclusion of this feature reflects a commitment to both safety and user-friendliness in the entertainment system.
Integrated Navigation System (Optional)
The optional integrated navigation system offers real-time GPS navigation and route guidance directly on the vehicle's display. This feature enhances convenience for drivers who frequently travel unfamiliar routes, providing turn-by-turn directions. Its inclusion as an option in the C240 Luxury trim allows customers to enhance their driving experience compared to base models without such advanced navigation.
Integrated Bluetooth Connectivity
Integrated Bluetooth connectivity enables hands-free phone calls and audio streaming directly from compatible devices. This feature enhances convenience and safety by allowing drivers to stay connected without taking their hands off the wheel. While many vehicles offer Bluetooth, the seamless integration in the C240 Luxury ensures a superior user experience.
Multi-Function Steering Wheel
The multi-function steering wheel offers integrated controls for audio, phone, and cruise functions at your fingertips.
