Q: What is the difference between the 300C and the 300C Luxury?

The Luxury adds 20-inch polished aluminium wheels on 245/45 R20 performance tyres, deep quilted Nappa leather, sport mode with paddle shifters, and the Safety Tech Group: adaptive cruise control with stop, advanced brake assist, auto high beam, blind spot and cross path detection, full speed forward collision warning plus, lane departure warning plus and rain-sensing wipers.
