Mercedes-Benz C-Class

“The Mercedes-Benz C-Class does all of the things that you’d want a premium saloon to do. It’s comfortable over long distances, feels special enough both inside and out and comes with plenty of standard equipment too.”

“In a crowded class of compact executive saloons, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is arguably one of the most desirable, combining smart looks with the unbeatable cachet of the three-pointed star on its nose.”

“The Mercedes C-Class Estate is one of a growing number of family-sized estates that trade ultimate practicality for a healthy dose of style – not to mention an upmarket image. Against rivals like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, the C-Class purports to be a classy, comfortable alternative.”

“The Mercedes isn’t as good to drive as a 3-Series, but it does make the BMW appear a bit less outstanding overall.”

“The C 300de will only make financial sense for a reasonably small number of rather deep-pocketed individuals who know they’ll likely cover a fairly high number of miles on an annual basis.”

“This is easily the most forward-thinking version of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but the bulk of orders are still expected to be for the diesel-powered C220d.”

“Inside and out it’s tastefully detailed, largely restrained and put together in a manner befitting the badge – but also trades on technology and a wide range of drivetrains capable of keeping almost any buyer happy.”

“In terms of in-car space, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class does well. There’s good amounts of legroom and headroom in the rear, while those up front are well catered for. Headroom is affected in estate cars, so if you’re looking to transport taller passengers frequently, this may not be the choice for you.”

“In most regards, the Mercedes-Benz C-class is right up there with the best in its class, including the BMW 3-series. But if you don’t require quite as much space, the Audi A3 saloon is worth a look too because it will be cheaper to run, while the Jaguar XE is more fun to drive, if not as comfortable.”

“The Mercedes-Benz C-class estate may not be the biggest estate car on the market, but it certainly impresses with its stylish interior and smart exterior. If it’s a more dynamic drive that you are after, the BMW 3-series Touring is worth a look.”
