Over recent years, the popularity of traditional petrol and diesel saloon cars like the Mercedes C-Class has been on the wane. High-riding SUVs continue to capture the hearts of buyers, and it’s a trend that hasn’t been lost on Mercedes, because it has redoubled its efforts with the latest C-Class to deliver improvements across key areas to help it stay competitive. Exterior styling, on-board tech, ride and comfort have all been thoroughly revised, while the most appealing update for cost-conscious buyers will be the introduction of new mild and plug-in hybrid models.
It also offers a sharp new look that's heavily inspired by its E-Class sibling, and it's a bigger car than the model that preceded it. Given its prowess, we wondered if the C-Class now has enough style, space and tech to play the role of the E-Class that sits above it in the Mercedes line up. Nicola Hume finds out in this in-depth review.

The screen and touch controls looks to be dangerous, see how long she has to look down to find the right area to press. The heating +/- on previous model is so easy and you do not need to take your eyes off the road. As for the C v E issue. I had an old E which I loved. Went to the 2014 C as it was the newer generation to the E at that time and have now gone to the 2016 E. All as estates. The E just drives better and has a waft to it. The standard of the interior is just so much better and is just plush in the E but like a Ford in the C. E estates will just swallow anything. Endlessly struggled getting stuff in a C estate. I know the new gen is a bit bigger but sorry but you will feel short changed with a C.

Also camping trips. Our kerbside waste does not take much. I am re-fitting my kitchen and the carboard packaging from the new one filled the car going to the dump. All sorts of timber and sheeting is needed too. I like antique furniture, buy a table, put it in the car. The E is just that bit bigger than the C but it makes a huge difference in the ease of using it.

Real life charging time is 3h because it only ships with an AC 11kwh converter by default. If you can't charge overnight then you should get the faster DC charging option which unfortunately wasn't available to me when I ordered... About the screen it's indeed a nightmare to navigate outside of the climate control or radio because you need to take your attention out of the road which is quite dangerous, I've learned to use the voice commands more and more as a result and they work quite ok compared to my previous Audi A4. The seat heating controls are on the door :)

I drive the C300-W205 (prefer mine over this newer model with the sleek headlights), and I wouldn't trade it for the E-class. They are 2 different niches and its not an up or down, they are just 2 distinct categories. E is really more executive in look and feel and C is vibrancy. If I had both cars, I would drive the E-class for occasional corporate meetings but zoom out with the C and hit the clubs once I reach home.

Just say (hey Mercedes) cut on heat on the driver's side and adjust the temp the same way on the MBUX voice control unit. The MBUX controls everything in the car. The voice control activates the windows, panoramic roof open/close, radio station/volume. Nice review but should have done more research on the car.

This is Michael. Good review. Mark my words, the plug-in hybrids are the way to go and the future for the next 10 to 15 years. You're right that the charging infrastructure is not there for EVS, but a smaller battery can be charged easily at home, in little time, and makes Reliance upon the regular engine a lot less. What you didn't realize is that the car itself is also capable of charging the battery- that was a big mistake you made. the electric motor also gives great instant torque and a range of about 284 miles per gallon according to the EPA on the GLC e version. As for the screen, Mercedes does an excellent job of still including many touch controls while also giving touch screen access. We have a Tesla Model 3 and I hate it because everything is through the touch screen and some things take two moves through the menus. Mercedes it does it right.

For folk leasing through company car schemes, the normal C will have 4x the BIK tax as the plug-in hybrid. That's why the plug-in hybrids exist really, I imagine many many users never plug it in and just accept lower MPG (due to weight) in return for a much better tax break.

You are correct.

The voice control system can do all of that and more.

I hope to god you weren’t on a public road, you barely looked through the windscreen at any point.

God help us if you're driving on the public highway. You are not looking at the road...

When cellphones first became the norm many jurisdictions created laws because of their distractions while driving. Fast fwd to 2020s where cars have tablets for simple adjustments 🤦🏻‍♂️

Great analysis, the e class has become irrelevant in mercs current lineup; the c class is too good and closer than ever to the s class

No. The E Class has a nicer and more up market feel to it. The C class is very close to being in VW territory but at a more expensive price point.

boot on the saloon is a lot smaller as a consequence, hence why the estate is the only real option here..

What do you need to put in the boot that doesn't fit?

I don't think it's ugly but it looks kinda bloated upwards,like it really came from an suv and they just made it shorter a bit

To me, the current Mercedes design just looks too flat. If the screen shows controls permanently, they don't need to be on a screen in the first place. You take away the advantage of a display (variability), but keep the disadvantage of pure ergonomics.

Great review and Nicola is amazing at presenting, just watch for her who is entertaining and funny. Funny they say about E class, looks like a A class from the front, the Germans are and have been for the past ten years or so getting lazy and this cooperate look is a step too far. As for the dashboards, I agree with a lot of comments, screens are dull, will date quickly and how is it in the UK we can’t use a phone but can use a touchscreen? Surely it’s the same? There’s no physical buttons so you can use the argument that you know where the icon is on the screen you still have to look! Bonkers, I applaud BMW here who have kept I drive and only succumbed to touch screen to “keep up”

Driving the C class and meeting up with the E class. The feeling of "you almost made it" kills it for me. S class is for guys who do not enjoy driving and have private driver.

As soon as a reviewer crashes a car on public roads and hurts someone I'm sure this will be made illegal. I enjoyed this review though 😁

To me it just looks cheap and cheerful with lots of flashy bits but not the quality that Mercedes is renowned for. It looks flashier than a Audi interior but does not seem to be as quality focused. Cars that are dominated by smart screens are very distracting and complicated to operate.

Purely for snobs these days, guess it’s not as bad as the S Class. They don’t drive particularly well (that gearbox is terrible), reliability and build quality are worse than before - literally better off buying a Camry or some sort of Kia.

I want to see car makers get sued left and right when people get into trouble looking down at their center console instead of the road looking for a/c. I think it's the only way we can go back to physical button

Car manufacturers aren't going to be accountable for poor decision making. Adjust the AC when you're stopped, not when you're driving down the road. Problem solved.

From rear, this does not look like a Mercedes it used to, looks more like a hyundai or honda. They have lost their appeal in exterior designs. I would rather prefer BMW for their design and performance.

No. it's just around 3000€ cheaper than the E class, but not on the same level.
