Does the digital display show the speed?

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I can't find an answer. Is there a digital readout of the speed on the display, rather than just the analog readout?

I'll be test driving a 2015 C300 in a week, but I'd like to know this in advance. My current car, a 2012 Volvo S60 R-Design, has an analog only speedometer and it really bugs me on what was originally a $45,000 car.

If I fit comfortably, I'm 6'3", and am offered a fair trade, I may just make a deal for the new C300 ... which I'm finding very impressive based on what I've been able to research. The test drive should be very interesting.

Stan

Yes, part of the trip menu, can be set to show MPH or KPH. Much easier then looking at speedo.

Once you start the car, the instrument cluster display should default to the trip computer. Pushing the down arrow on the steering wheel a few times should lead you to the digital speed readout

Thanks, gentlemen, for the replies. I have a 9/15 appointment for a test drive and am hoping I really like this car.

Having come from a succession of German brand cars over the years ... BMW 528i and a Z3 and Z4, an Audi A6 and two A4's, as well as my current 2012 Volvo S60, I expect to be impressed. I'm also currently driving a 2013 Porsche Boxster S, so I guess it's time to get back into that German fold again.

I'll post my reactions when I get back. If things go well, I hope to be able to place an order for my first MB.
