4 Unexpected Luxury Features You'll Find in the 2025 C-Class

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz C-Class delivers sophistication that extends far beyond its elegant exterior. While most buyers expect premium materials and advanced safety technology, this sedan includes several thoughtful luxury touches that often surprise even seasoned Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts. These refined details demonstrate the attention to craftsmanship that distinguishes the C-Class from other vehicles in its segment.

These four features showcase how Mercedes-Benz engineers focus on the details that make every drive more comfortable and personalized. From cutting-edge biometric technology to ambient lighting that transforms your cabin into a personal sanctuary, the C-Class offers unexpected luxury at every turn.

1. Advanced Fingerprint Scanner for Instant Personalization

The 2025 C-Class includes an in-dash fingerprint scanner that instantly recalls your personal preferences. This biometric technology stores hundreds of vehicle settings across up to seven different user profiles, making it simple to share the vehicle with family members while maintaining your customized experience.

When you place your finger on the scanner, the C-Class automatically adjusts seat positions, mirror angles, climate control settings, and even your preferred ambient lighting colour. The system can be configured in-car or through your smartphone, allowing you to set up preferences before your first drive.

• Stores up to seven different user profiles
• Recalls hundreds of individual vehicle preferences
• Adjusts seats, mirrors, climate, and lighting automatically
• Can be configured remotely through smartphone app

This technology eliminates the need to manually readjust settings every time you drive, creating a truly personalized cabin environment from the moment you start the engine.

2. 64-Colour Ambient Lighting System

The C-Class features an advanced 64-colour LED ambient lighting system that goes far beyond basic illumination. This technology allows you to choose from an extensive palette of colours, create custom sequences, or let the system automatically adjust lighting based on your music or driving mode.

The lighting extends throughout the cabin, highlighting the dashboard, door panels, and centre console with your selected hue. Choose calm blues for focused morning commutes, warm oranges for relaxed evening drives, or dynamic multi-colour sequences that respond to your audio system.

The ambient lighting integrates with MBUX technology, allowing the system to suggest lighting options based on time of day, weather conditions, or your planned route. This creates a cabin atmosphere that adapts to your mood and driving environment.

3. 11.9-Inch Portrait-Style Central Display

The C-Class features an 11.9-inch touchscreen positioned in portrait orientation and subtly angled toward the driver. This design provides optimal viewing angles while maintaining easy access for passenger use. The screen's vertical layout maximizes information display for navigation maps, allowing you to see more of your route ahead.

The display runs the third-generation MBUX system with "zero-layer" menu technology, which streamlines interface navigation by reducing the number of steps needed to access commonly used functions. The touchscreen responds quickly to inputs and includes haptic feedback for confirmation of selections.

Integration with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto happens seamlessly, maintaining the same responsive performance whether using built-in Mercedes-Benz applications or smartphone-based services. The screen's anti-glare coating ensures clear visibility even during bright Quebec summer days.

4. Premium Touch Controls Throughout the Cabin

The C-Class incorporates touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel and throughout the cabin that provide quiet, intuitive operation. These controls eliminate the need for physical buttons while maintaining the tactile feedback drivers expect from luxury vehicles.

The steering wheel features touch-sensitive pads that allow you to control audio, navigation, and phone functions without taking your hands off the wheel. The controls recognize swipe gestures, taps, and pressure variations, providing multiple ways to interact with vehicle systems.

Climate control and infotainment functions use similar touch-sensitive technology, creating a modern interface that feels natural to operate. The controls include subtle illumination that makes them easy to locate in low-light conditions without creating glare.

• Steering wheel touch controls for audio and navigation
• Climate control touch interface
• Haptic feedback confirms inputs
• Illuminated for low-light visibility
