Which Mercedes models are best for executives?

In a high stakes market the executive car class is one of the most highly disputed in the UK. The customers are demanding and there are now more executive cars to choose from than ever before. With this is mind, let us guide you through the best options when it comes to choosing an executive car with Sinclair Mercedes.

C-Class

If you’re on the look-out for a stylish but compact executive car, inside and out, then the Mercedes C-Class will tick all of your boxes. Alongside its good-looking exterior shell, it is accompanied with one of the best cabins on the market. The interior oozes as much premium quality as the exterior but also has that element of comfort you need on long journeys.

The C-Class comes with a variety of different engines including petrol, diesel, hybrid and plug-in options. As with any Mercedes, it’s sophisticated, refined and efficient, and although it doesn’t quite compete with the some of the bigger Mercedes models in terms of opulence, it’s still very much a solid executive car.

CLA-Class

The sharp looking CLA was part of the model revamp from Mercedes to entice trendier executives to the brand. It’s clear with its plunging lines that it is a car geared towards younger buyers.

Underneath the youthful good looks, you have a range of refined engines to choose from. Whether it’s efficiency you’re looking for, or just all out power, the CLA will have an engine to suit you.

Whichever model you go for, the CLA is generously equipped. The premium cabin comes with a long list of standard kit such as a radio and single CD player, USB and connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. All models also come with a seven-inch tablet screen positioned on the central screen.

E-Class

In the executive saloon market you can’t get much more traditional than the Mercedes E-Class. There was a stage when the entire Mercedes range was exclusively based around the size of the E-Class Saloon, however today there are now so many different models in the range that the E-Class is at risk of going extinct. Despite this, Mercedes is well aware that the E-Class is still one of the most vital models in their line-up, so they have kitted it with a huge host of equipment ranging from hi-tech gadgets, advanced engines and of course a premium plush finish all inside and out.

The E-Class isn’t the sharpest saloon in the tool box however when it comes to comfort and refinement it definitely delivers. Steel springs with adaptive dampers are standard in the UK, while fully adaptive air-suspension is an option. The E-Class, then, is certainly one for those looking for a more relaxing cruise on the motorways of Britain.

S-Class

Now we come to the daddy of them all, the S-Class. You’ll struggle to find a more relaxing motoring experience than travelling in one of these, especially if you’re being chauffeured in the back. With zero vibrations surfacing through the steering wheel and non-existent wind when at high speed on the motorway the drive is all round exquisite.

The S-Class comes with a range of phenomenal engines that all seem to produce both performance and high mpg. The diesel-electric hybrid option offers more than 60 mpg and the V6 diesel returns 50mpg! Higher up the range you have the S63 V8 and the S65 V12 AMG models, or in contrast if you wanted to go fully green and have a car that emits less CO2 than a Toyota Prius there’s the S500 Plug-in Hybrid.

Essentially the Mercedes S-Class sets the bar for opulence and groundbreaking technology, as it has done for over 40 years now. The latest generation S-Class is no exception to this, and if anything, it shows just how much Mercedes are ahead of everyone in the executive car market.
