[VonEmmett]

Mercedes-Benz's S-Class, E-Class, and C-Class are used to differentiate their levels and orientations. The S-Class focuses on luxury, the E-Class on comfort, and the C-Class on sportiness. The differences among them are as follows: 1. Different positioning: The E-Class is considered a mid-to-high-level car in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the S-Class is the top-tier luxury car, while the C-Class is a compact sedan. The S-Class emphasizes luxury, the E-Class focuses on comfort, and the C-Class highlights sportiness. 2. Different appearances: The E-Class has softer side lines with a cigar-shaped waistline; the S-Class features triangular headlights, giving it the most aggressive look, with more inclined rear lines, the longest body length, and the highest height; the C-Class has the smoothest lines and the most sporty feel, appearing sharper and more suitable for younger people.
