Mercedes-Benz

The German luxury-car legend is known for high-dollar, high-tech premium sedans, SUVs, coupes, wagons, and convertibles. At one end of spectrum is the CLA-class, which is a great subcompact sedan. Joining the CLA-class as one of our favorite compact sedans is the C-class. The E-class is terrific, with its effortless performance and peerless luxury for the price. The GLS is a great full-size SUV and a great value, but the flagship S-class sedan delivers the sybaritic luxury for which the brand is best known.
