Review
Gentleman or lady, this is the first call I would describe a man or a woman who sits behind the wheel of a Mercedes. Germany’s BBA team (Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi) always can grasp the point of elegance and luxury very well. I personally think Mercedes has a more gentleman and lady stance compared with the members in BBA. Now Mercedes officially offers three variants for the C-Class, C200, C220d and C300d (AMG Line). It gets Mercedes-AMG C 43 4MATIC+ Coupe as well. Since there are some modifications to the new model, the price now is a little bit different from before.
Driving Performance
Engine and Transmission
Mercedes-Benz C-Class now has 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines matched with an automatic gearbox. And the C200 can have a maximum output of 203hp @ 5800-6100rpm, the C220d produces a top power of 194hp @ 3800rpm and the C300d gets 245hp @ 4200rpm. By the way, only C200 is petrol.
Steering and Handling
First of all, when you start the engine, it’s very quiet outside and insides thanks to the good engine and great insulation, these can give you a quiet and enjoyable ride. For C-Class, it has enough power to let you drive fast and overtake, you just need to put your right foot down. The whole driving experience in the city and on the highway is pretty impressive.
Mileage
The fuel efficiency of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class goes up at 12.06 kmpl.

Space
The design of the cockpit is very thoughtful and comfortable owe to famous Germany-made quality, the detail and support of the seats are pretty good. However, because of its inclined-design roof, the headroom at the rear is not so friendly to some tall people.
