The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Avantgarde: What Distinguishes It from the Rest!

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Avantgarde: What Distinguishes It from the Rest!

A Mercedes-Benz product will always have an appeal to people who love excellence. Naturally, you want luxury and refinement, but also that special something that transports you beyond your everyday. With a Mercedes-Benz product, that’s what you get, and that’s why the brand’s offerings have fascinated drivers for over 100 years. 

That’s because of the different approaches the company adopts, all aimed at offering a little more. This is the case with the Avantgarde package of the C-Class sedan. Here, we can really talk about the distinction that makes all the difference. 

Mercedes-Benz Rive-Sud invites you to explore our new Mercedes-Benz inventory on the South Shore of Montreal, in the Greenfield Park borough of Longueuil, near Brossard, Chambly and Boucherville. We also carry exceptional pre-owned vehicles on the South Shore with special Mercedes-Benz deals. Let’s take a look at the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Avantgarde sedan.

So What Is It?

For starters, it’s important to remember that the Avantgarde isn’t a model per se. It’s a bundle that’s added to each version of the C-Class by offering a series of features that only enhance what’s already top-notch. In other words, this is the best C-Class yet, and this is the last year the car will be on the market in its current form. A new generation is due next year.

The Current C-Class

The C-Class sedan is available in four different trim categories: C 300 4Matic, AMG C 43 4Matic, AMG C 63 and AMG C 63 S. Each variant offers a rich array of equipment, but it gets better with each grade. What’s more, from one version to the next, the mechanical features are more compelling. It starts with a 255-horsepower four-cylinder engine and goes on to a 385-horsepower six-cylinder engine. The last two variants are equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine with 469 and 503 horsepower capacity respectively. The name Avantgarde is still stamped on the nomenclature of each model, regardless of the model. 

The Avantgarde

When one sees the word Avantgarde affixed to a particular model, the implication is that you get more. That means a sportier interior (Nappa leather, darker and richer wood trim, and chrome accents). You also get leather-covered armrests for the seats and inside the doors. Seats also feature contrasting stitching and a three-spoke steering wheel. 

The exterior includes the option of specific alloy wheels, a sportier grille and chrome trim, including door handles. It also includes a lower sports suspension and upgraded brake calipers. Basically, you could say that the Avantgarde package is the kind reserved for sports coupes, only this time it’s a sedan. 

Always More With Mercedes-Benz Rive-Sud

The Avantgarde versions of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class offer you even more. It’s a reflection of what the company’s philosophy is all about. 

To find a model that suits your needs, don’t hesitate to stop by your Mercedes-Benz Rive-Sud dealership on Taschereau Boulevard in the Greenfield Park borough of Longueuil, near Brossard and just a few minutes from Montreal. And why not take the wheel for a test drive? Our automotive experts will help you make the right choice so you can build the car that’s right for you.
