Elevated pricing and cost-of-ownership overheads might be tough pills to swallow, but those seeking classic Benz values, like plush comfort, upscale interior finishes, and an effortless everyday drive, will appreciate its continued focus on refinement over raw performance. Though sedan sales are shrinking, and SUV alternatives like the GLC loom large, the C-Class formula still resonates with buyers craving that mid-size luxury saloon feel. ## **Pros & Cons** ### **Pros** - Smart, understated styling - Big, high-res display tech - Plush, laidback cabin comfort ### **Cons** - Gets expensive quickly, even before options - Service plan costs are steep - Range limited to four-cylinder power only ## **Specs** | **Body Style** | Mid-size luxury sedan | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | **Platform** | Mercedes W206 C-Class architecture | | **Launched** | 2022 (Current generation) | | **Local Arrival** | 2025 update | | **Engine(s)** | 2.0L 4cyl turbo-petrol mild-hybrid (RWD) | ## Pricing ## Pricing Information Before on-roads Mercedes-Benz C200 Night Edition $86,900 Mercedes-Benz C200 $91,400 Mercedes-Benz C300 $96,900 Mercedes-AMG C43 Edition R 4MATIC $112,600 Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC $140,600 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance 4MATIC+ $190,900 [**Check Drive-Away Pricing**](https://www.carexplore.com.au/drive-away-price-checker/) for real-time estimates based on your location. **Want a deal on a new Mercedes-Benz C-Class?** **[Find me a deal](#)** **×** ## **Interior & Features** Within the C-Class, a portrait infotainment touchscreen is joined by a customizable digital cluster, providing a futuristic feel aligned with contemporary Benz styling. While glossy trim abounds and can scuff easily, seats remain supportive, offering eight-way power adjustment plus standard seat memory. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are wire-free, and the giant sunroof floods the cabin with light. Rear accommodations suit two adults comfortably, though it isn’t the largest back seat in the segment. ## **Engine & Fuel Economy** A 2.0-litre turbo with mild-hybrid assistance claims a modest 7.3L/100km in the C300 variant, helped by the 48V setup for smoother engine restarts. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a refined nine-speed automatic. The MHEV system doesn’t allow for extended electric-only running, but can provide a subtle torque boost. Real-world consumption sits around 8.0–9.0L/100km depending on traffic and driving style. ## **Image Gallery** ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Mercedes-Benz-C-Class.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-2.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-3.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-4.png) ![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/2025/01/2025-Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-5.png) 2025 Mercedes-Benz C-Class ## **Expert Media Reviews** CarExpert – 2025 Mercedes-Benz C-Class + **Score:** 7.7 / 10 "Prices keep rising, yet it remains faithful to classic Benz sedan comfort and tech, albeit with limited variety." **Link:** [Read review](https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-reviews/2025-mercedes-benz-c-class-review?ref=carexplore.com.au) Carsales – 2024 Mercedes-Benz C300 + **Score:** 79/100 "An inherently classy and comfortable cruiser, if rather costly to own long-term due to service plan prices." **Link:** [Read review](https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/mercedes-benz-c300-2024-review-147874/?ref=carexplore.com.au) --- ## **Safety Rating** A 5-star ANCAP rating was awarded in 2022, valid until 2028. | **Assessment** | **Scores** | | ------------------------ | -------------- | | **Adult Occupant Prot.** | 91% (34.60/38) | | **Child Occupant Prot.** | 90% (44.10/49) | | **Vulnerable Road User** | 80% (43.29/54) | | **Safety Assist** | 84% (13.53/16) | [See full ANCAP report](https://www.ancap.com.au/safety-ratings/mercedes-benz/c-class/982bb2?ref=carexplore.com.au) --- ## **ECO Rating** Green NCAP awarded the C-Class 2.5 stars (47% overall). | **Assessment** | **Scores** | | ------------------------ | ---------- | | **Clean Air Index** | 6.7/10 | | **Energy Efficiency** | 4.6/10 | | **Greenhouse Gas Index** | 3.0/10 | [Full details at Green NCAP](https://www.greenncap.com/assessments/mercedes-benz-c-class-2023-0126/?ref=carexplore.com.au) --- ## **Reliability Rating** Multiple recalls listed for the C-Class – see [Australia’s Vehicle Recalls](https://www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au/recalls/browse-all-recalls?search=C+class&ref=carexplore.com.au).
