2015 Mercedes-Benz C400 - Redline: Review 

Five years later and it still looks fresh.

Pretty big leap from the old C Class. I like this car way more than the 3 series and A4. Very well done Mercedes.

Man this guy can talk damn he doesn't breath for a second he just keep going and going

I completely agree, Mercedes is on the way up again. Also loving how AMG's are just straight up muscle cars now with cornering ability that can't really stack up to the competition. It's completely badass and awesome

Your reviews are topshelf...you answered every question I had in my head

You what’s funny when it just came out it was 60k but now in 2018 I’m getting a certified pre own for $32,400 with 8,786 miles, one owner, no accidents 😂

Why would anyone want an automatic 335i xdrive sedan over this amazing C400 is beyond me....

I currently have a 2014 e350. I test drove the 2015 C400 yesterday and I was very impressed. Your review is on point. The new C is legit!

i purchased my first mercedes recently, a 2012 C350 4 matic....i love it, but i cant wait to get the C400 4 matic with the sport premium package. thanks for the review.

This car is an absolute work of art inside and out. I just hate how companies are doing screens now because they really look like an afterthought how they are just floating on the dash. I get that they are trying to put them as high up in your sightline as possible but in all honesty i'd rather have no screen at all.

Fantastic review, keep up the phenomenal videos. Thanks so much!

Love your in depth videos really like them! Maybe you could go thru the menus on the command Center etc

For a 3.0 engine with twin Turbos, not bad. It goes fast. I raced one with my 2015 Taurus SHO and that one got 3.5 twin turbo as well. Off the start, even though the Taurus is heavier, i still take the lead because of AWD but the Mercedes kept up for a while behind me, difference about 40 feet. I was surprised with the Mercedes being 329HP vs my 365HP and the Mercedes still kept up pretty good. It was night time. Funny thing is after the race, he stopped at the same resturant as i was and on my way out, he recognized me and he started laughing and said _"You were the one who raced me"_ I too started laughing LOLz, that was fun though.

Great, in-depth review. Keep up the good work!

I’m very happy Mercedes has introduced models like the CLA and GLA, and now the A-Class to the American lineup - it allows them to really bring the C-Class up to par with its more premium cousins without having to compromise on materials, features, and quality as being the entry-level model. What a phenomenal ride! It’ll be interesting to see how the W205 ages.

lol, I've watched a lot of your videos and never seen you so excited in test drives before. Made me smile too :)

Best reviews on RU-vid. Thank you.

I absolutely love the new Mercedes C class! Definitely thinking of purchasing one!

Great channel! Love your reviews

The Interieur of Mercedes-Benz is just the best looking.

Best car review I like what I see, keep up the good work Redline

Well you sold me on the C400! I was vacillating between the C class and E class to downsize from the GL450. I had a 350SLK and miss the "sportiness" and speed but don't want another convertible. Thank you so much for your awesome review! Everything you said was very helpful.

best review you've done so far

Absolutely brilliant information packed video... !

Nice review. I totally get what you mentioned about how faultless this car is. My test drive of the C400 left me in awe. It feels like a flagship and blows the competition out of the water. That said, I would love to see your IS350 F Sport and Infiniti Q50 Hybrid review.

You do a fine job.Its nice to see a person in zone.

To that clown that posted a few spots below me on the 3 Series being superior you obviously haven't driven a Merc. The W204 was a solid, safe, refined and stylish sedan if equipped correctly with the sport or AMG sport package. It had a plain interior but everything felt solid and the structure of the car felt rock solid keeping in tune with what a Benz should feel like. Reliability was very good too and didn't have the weak spots a BMW has (plastic cooling pipes and plastic electric water pump). BMW was the more fun car to drive but for those who wanted a bit more comfort with enough sport the W204 was a fine choice.

Great review!!

They got so much right in this car, if only they integrated that infotainment screen better.

Straight to the point, very little fluff. Loved this video and how detailed it was, thank you. I learned more about the car than any other video I've seen. I think the C400 is a bargain right now. Cheaper than a C450 or an E-class from 2017+. You get the same luxury and engine for a fraction of the price.

As usual, a great review!

Soft an I love you for this review!!!

Thanks for this review. My friends here in Chicago and New York have older E Class and S Class cars .And also, I would like middle size cars...But again thank you for your review. Thanks

Great review!

Enjoyed your review -- very detailed. Thank you1

Sofyan: Starts engine. Me: I think I will get this.

I was torn between the Audi A6 and BMW 335i until this car was released. Mercedes did something phenomenal with this car.

Another Awesome review.. thanks

Nice review. Have my eye on the C63 and curious about the 450. Not sure I need that much power. I owned a. 2008 last gen and that engine note was worth the price of admission. My "Boy Racer" days appear to be coming to a close as older kids are necessitating back seats. Your review may save me a few thousand and cause me to seriously consider the C400.

Nice review!

I just bought this car 2 days ago and love driving it. It is very responsive and has terrific features. I got a good deal (about $3500) with the current incentives. Great car, luxurious feel and definitely worth the price. Can't wait to take it for a long trip this weekend!!

Excellent review Sofyan. I can definitely tell right-off-the-bat that Mercedes-Benz has really stepped up their A-game in making the C-class a much more competitive sedan than ever before, especially with all the incredible technological offerings that you featured including that new powerful V6 engine. In addition, was this a press car that you used in the review? - Michael Land

I found this a great review. First time seeing this page, and it was great. I like that he took time to show every single detail in the vehicle. One thing I disliked is the bias over German cars over Japanese. I know that the German 3 has outstanding engines. But he should test drive the 2014 Lexus IS 350 f sport. It is a great vehicle that I think that will change his view on some Japanese cars. I'm not trying to "fanboy" anything but there was a biased area in this review, I'm not sure if he's like this in all of his videos. But still a great video!

Nice review!!

Great Review Man..I actually a more of BMW fan too...But this 2015 C has really put MB in a different level IMO...

love the sound ♥

great video bro any chance you will do one on the newer c450?

great review

Great review sir

I've been a dyed in the wool BMW and Porsche guy for several decades, but I have to say I was blown away by this car. I had my pick between a 3 or 5 series BMW for my company car, but when I test drove a C200L here in China, I had to have it. It was heads and shoulders above the BMW in fit and finish and was amazed at the performance and handling of this car, unlike any Mercedes I had ever driven. The car has the 2.0 Turbo/7 speed auto and the "L" offered here in China made the rear seat leg room like an S Class. Even the new styling makes the BMW look ordinary in comparison. I think this new line of Mercedes will definitely give BMW and Audi a run for it's money. So much so that I am thinking about trading in my M3 for a C63 AMG when I get back home to the States, or maybe even trading in my Cayman S for that AMG GT-S which is absolutely a sick car. My only disappointment with the car is getting used to the column stalk gear selector and grabbing for a stick on the center console that is not there. Otherwise, the car is amazing.

Honestly, this is the best looking C-Class even to this day. It still looks fresh and modern, and I love the styling of this C-Class compared to the current one.

Thanks again. I still like to see the gear shift in a car in general...So, yes, I would look for mid-size cars with gear shifts..

I like Benz but I just got my self an Acura TLX V6 and is fast enough for me but to me is not worth paying 15k more for this c class if power is what I'm looking for I can easily spend 5k to install a super charge and I be fine but at the same time were going to spend our money on what we prefer, nice review keep up the good work man!

Great review! As a Benz owner of the previous C class on the coupe version I was still able to agree with your comments capturing the ownership feeling of this brand, imagine this new version! After having BMW, two Audis I have to admit the supremacy of Mercedes on comfort, ergonomy and refinement. Even the suspension has a perfect balance. BMW has amazing powerful Engines and Audi the Quattro which is awesome on curves. But overall I stick with Benz now!

Very nice and long informative review. C400 V6 4Matic is great for sure but still love my 2.0T RWD. It sounds amazing for a 4 cylinder turbo. You can hear it on my channel. I didn't expected this sound. It's like a miniature V8 C63 AMG growl ;) I'm not kiddin!

Hi i have a c400 2015.. i dont see the knob behind the steering wheel to turn signal headlights and wipers turn on at night.. is the knob supposed to turn on lights with rest of interior instrument or is mines burned? Also i see 2 yellow lights in daytime dont see it at night on top where back middle seat is looks like a sensor what does that do?

Can anyone tell me if the gloves box are hard plastic? Same with the driver side below the steering wheels?

i love my c class. good review

Hi i just bought a 2015 c400 and i noticed when i finish driving that i park and turn off the car i go to the front and get close to hood and it smells like coolant/antifreeze but no leak no where is that the smell benz give?

Best looking car in this class... hands down!

Hey redline reviews, please help. I don't know what my daily driver should be. I want a midsize car that is a premium brand. I'm looking to buy used 2-3 years old. Should I get a Lexus GS350 F sport, a Acura TLX V6 Advance, a Audi A6 , or something else. I want it to be about 20-25 grand used and I don't mind if it's a little more than that. I need a car with good get up and go, so a lot of power would be nice, I like the new 2016 accord touring but I want a car that would stand out , not a mainstream car. I'm not sure the 3 series is a good car nor the 5 series, they seem kinda plasticity and cheap. I don't know why I should get, please give your suggestions, you know better than any others I can think of

On a Head to Head..How do you think this compares to a BMW 335i xDrive Sedan with an M Sport package, seeing as how similar they are in price & specs?

I love that wood grain!

Hey RedLineReviews! I’m watching this in 2019 , How much would this car go for now?

After driving around the Nissan Versa last week, sofyan, this must be like driving a lambo. Haha

Does this car have some reliability issue or something? I see a few C400 with about 30,000 miles going for 20k when they used to be going for 60k+ ?? If someone can answer me I'd appreciate it, because I am VERY VERY VERY tempted to get one. I did some research online but everyone says it's a good car so I'm kind of confused as heck

looks absolutely great .... the front ... really nice

Can you guys do a review on the lexus RC 350 and the RC F? and/or the IS 350 f-sport/non f sport

best review of c400 i've seen

What is the amazing track played in the beginning?

I do like the new design, however my only complaint is the engine chatter with the new models. I understand better fuel economy by reduction of weight, but that extra chatter compared to W203 engine, huge DB difference. I guess if you can't hear it with the windows up thats ok right? Otherwise looks like a great car, will def take on a road trip soon to feel the difference. I currently have a W203 & W204 and still like getting into the C230 and taking some S turns. Keep it up Mercedes (y)

Awesome vid

I'm wondering what the tunability of this car will be. I know the S4 is pretty easy to tune and it's pretty fast but their interior is behind this one. The engine is pretty solid with a tune and a compressor pulley for 400-410 hp. I already have a WRX STI with the same power though. I would love the luxury, design and sportiness of this car though. This would make one of the best daily drivers I can think of. I've been looking at the prices though.... Around $70,000 in Canada.. Plus tax.. just about hits $1000 a month.. that's pretty high.

2 things I don't like, gear leveler and nav screen, but man this thing feels special

Question for you do you prefer 5 speed manual or up or down tell us?

Is the Mercedes C class really quiet compared to competition?

What's the music at the beginning of the video?

Cant wait for the coupe version of this!! Mercedes=best or nothing!!

I honestly feel like this is the best compact luxury sedan right now, Mercedes did an awesome job designing it... mini S Class all around. My parents were looking at the 2008 C Class when it was redesigned, and it felt like a Chevy Malibu inside due to its interior quality, as compared to the 3 Series we also test drove (we ended up getting a CPO 2006 E60 5 Series).

Hey 2theredline you mind doing a bmw, doesn't matter which one, that would be cool. Noce video love the Mercedes Benz but dont like that transmission thing to make it go park, or reverse.

Can you do a review on a 2010- 2014nissan murano please!?!

2023. Because of this review I bought a used c400. Still amazing in 2023!

nice...i like the interior of this one.

I love this car soooo much

Hey could u do a review on the 2015 Honda accord sedan please @2theredline

I am hoping to see a 2017 Mercedes Benz B Class review by Redline.

What area are you test driving this car?

Are there mood lights in the c300 car？

Would you review the new Lexus IS product line, which is not so sporty as infiniti Q50 and BMW 3 series, but back to comfy; lexus is the competitor to the Mercedes. and we know both Acura and Lexus comes with better reliability. Thanks BTW please take the 250/350. there is no many ppl who envy the cars with ECVT in this segment.

So when will we get that Lexus IS250/350 review ??

@ 11:28 really? Manual sunshades are a really nice feature for 380$? think i got some at walmart for 4.99

love this just can't afford the up keep

im torn between this and the XSE V6 2018... reliability has me worried.

whats the intro song called? @RedlineReviews

Have u reviewed a 04 or similar Toyota mr2???

Everything is great but that display though... If you park in a slightly bad neighborhood your car is going to have a bad time.

is this bigger or the audi A4?

60k? The new M3 is is 62k....

Is a used 2015 C300 with 80k miles for $18,000 a good deal?

I just wish Mercedes did a better job at integrating the infotainment screens in their C-classes. Even the newest C-class has that cheap looking slab of plastic just sitting there ruining the rest of the interior. The E and S classes did a much better job with that.
