Mercedes CLC Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

Neither the CLC nor the original SC have been crash tested by Euro NCAP.

Based on the previous generation C-Class, the CLC should still return an impressive performance if the brand ever enters its small coupe in the voluntary crash tests. The old C-Class scored the maximum five stars for occupant safety.

The list of standard safety equipment is long. All cars come with six airbags and ESP as standard.
