2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe.
Mercedes-Benz has been named winner in three categories in the World Car Awards 2015 at the New York International Auto Show (April 3-2, 2015, Javits Center).
Particular success was enjoyed by the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which won the World Car of the Year 2015 award, ousting the Ford Mustang and the Volkswagen Passat for the top award.
The S-Class Coupé was voted World Luxury Car 2015, while the Mercedes-AMG GT sports car picked up the award for World Performance Car 2015.
Mercedes-Benz was the only automobile manufacturer to make it into the final round of the awards with five vehicles. This commanding performance is unprecedented in the 11-year history of the World Car of the Year awards and serves to reflect the tremendous popularity of the Stuttgart-based brand among its customers.
The international jury for the World Car Awards is made up of 75 renowned automotive journalists. The results are tabulated by secret ballot.
Mercedes-Benz has also found favour with the jury in previous years. In 2014. the S-Class won the category World Luxury Car. In 2012, the S 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY was the winner in the category World Green Car, while the same award was taken in 2007 by the E 320 BlueTEC.
